People ask me if Lorraine can be that stupid. In my opinion Lorraine is far from stupid, she’s just grossly uninformed sometimes. She is from Iowa after all…
New looks today. Robyn finally gets an overhaul that’s been long over due. I have NEVER liked her hair and have struggled to find a style that is “her” for 2 years. I like the short hair on her. She’ll be much leaner than Lorraine from here on out as well, as that’s what a drummer would look like. Google female drummers… once you get past the porn, they’re all thin chicks that could beat the livin’ snot out of you. My kind of woman…
🙂
“There’s someone in my head but it’s not me…” Classic line from Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage”. Feel that way once in a while, don’t you? I love “Dark Side of the Moon” (or as we called it in college, “Dark Side of the Sheets” as we’d smoke our pot under our bed sheets to “hide” the smell from the floor supervisor…well, we were stoned…) And really love the behind the scenes documentary on how it was made. Being a recording geek, I love all that detailed stuff of how they spliced a tape loop then used a mic stand as the capstan as it was too long for the player. Cool shit. “Dark Side” is best experienced on headphones… all those voices roaming around in there… and sometimes there’s someone in my head, but it’s not me.

BOOOOOBIEEEES! 😀
You know, if Lorraine ever decides to do a gig whilst wearing her lucky blouse, the term ‘wardrobe malfunction’ is likely to get invented 30 years ahead of time…
(BTW, let’s not forget that Bill Bryson is from Iowa, and he’s *definitely* not stupid!)
I really enjoy Bill Bryson’s books. Although, he says he’s only half from Iowa, and half from the UK. “I’m Not From Here Myself”
That’s a fantastic documentary. One of the few non-fiction pieces in my DVD collection.
God bless the woman who’s breasts require so much blood flow that the brain must sacrifice!! *naughty grin*
At least she didn’t reach across and commence to wiping at it feverishly. Poor Roger.
Mmmmmoooollleeee! MoleyMoleyMoleyMOOLLEE. Mole! Mole!
Drew Brees.
That’s pretty much sounds like me…I am terribly misinformed.
DSOTM… that would have to be one of those “if you could only have 10 recordings…” pieces for me. Still holds the record for longest consecutive time spent on the Billboard charts (over 14 years), and with his production, DSOTM made me an Alan Parsons fan well before he started doing his own stuff with the AP Project. I’ll have to get used to the new Robyn, though. While I agree with you Byron, that some of the best female drummers to come out of, or who started in the 70’s like Sandy West (The Runaways), Denise Dufort (Girlschool), Alice DeBuhr (from your favorite girl band, Fanny), Julie Turner (Rock Goddess), Palmolive (AKA Paloma Romero – The Slits & The Raincoats), Ginger Bianco (my favorite, from Isis, an all-female horn band), as well as later chick drummers like Debbie Peterson (The Bangles), Roxy Petrucci (Vixen), Cindy Blackman (Lenny Kravitz), Demetra Plakas (L7) were pretty lean & mean, I personally liked the more curvaceous & longer haired Robyn. Ah well, I guess if I want curvaceous & longer hair I can always go with Sheila E….
I had no problem with Robyn’s old cup size, but gotta say I love the new haircut on her. I’ve always had a thing for women with short hair.
Yeah, the new look is definitly a “win.”
I guess I’m in the minority here, but as far as I’m concerned, Robyn is the hotter one by far (especially now – love her new look!).
Speaking of girl drummers, have you heard of Sara, aka “Superkid Drummer”? Although she’s not someone you’d wanna shag (not yet, anyway, unless you’re a perv – she’s 14!), Sara’s got chops from hell. Check this out:

Yeah – she plays King Crimson, Rush and Zappa. Talk about hyperfocus!
I went on a blind date with someone who explained the Maastrich treaty to me.All night.Luckily he kept me supplied with Jack Daniels and Newcastle Brown,Unluckily,I puked for about 6 hours when I got home.
I must be the odd girl out because I’m a female drummer, but I look more like a Lorraine… minus the black hair and the cartoony bits. Hehe. Thankfully I’m much more well informed. I won’t even get started on Dark Side of The Moon or Pink Floyd or we’ll be here all day and all night. Definitely my favourite band of all time. I have to say I really like the ladies now though. They have their own unique styles that make them great and unique body types really help.
Man, Byron, do you know how hard it was for me to look away so I could read the speech balloons? You know I can’t multi-task. 😀
Uh?
You changed the hairstyles? I didn’t notice! 😉
Nicely done changes, definitely two unique characters now, whereas before they were almost (I said almost) interchangeable bodies.
Now all you’ve got to do is increase Lorraine’s “characters” into a 44DD and we’re det to go! 😉
LOL
DSOTM, I wore out 2 copies of the LP before I transferred my affections to cassettes (recorded many times from the 2nd LP)and now onto CD and MP3. One of, if not, the best albums of all time.
Great Gig still gets all the hackles on my neck up! (And a pretty horrific falsetto “sing along” too!)
Bah, can’t type – won’t type!
I meant “set to go” of course! Damn sausage fingers!
😉
Byron, thanks for the generous offer to do an “old version” Robyn for me – not necessary as I can always refer back to the archives, but I really appreciate it! If I ever get a home computer though, maybe I’ll take you up on it! I have to admit to looking up Roxy Petrucci & Cindy Blackman – I forgot their names, but remembered the rest. I always was/am a big fan of female drummers, & besides, 25 years in the music biz playing, recording, promoting, retail, radio dj-ing, etc., made me great at music trivia if nothing else!
Satyrblade – the Japanese girl is killer. A little older gal I really like & have seen twice, is a drummer/percussionist clinician for Sabian cymblals & ProMark drumsticks named Dale Anne Brendon. Unfortunately, her clips come nowhere near to comparing her at live performances & clinics, but you can get the gist of the talent. Finally, if anyone else out there is an old burned-out drummer like me, DO NOT go on to YouTube & type in “Mairi G Female Drummer” unless you want to end up burning your kit….
Wasn’t the mushroom cut a big hairstyle in the 70’s. You should try that one on Lorraine..haha
Duuuuuuude….. you have the COOLEST, rockin’est comic out there!!! I’ve enjoyed every single strip. The music you pick is awesome, as well!
Totally love Lorraine’s new look! It is nice to have them looking not so similar to each other.
You really do great work! I’m looking forward to the continuation of ‘1977’.
Man, the version of “Brain Damage” from that plugin truncates it right at the beginning of “Eclipse”! It came to that sudden stop and I went “AAAAUUUGGH!”
By the way, I’m an OCD- style Floyd fan, that’s why I was so disappointed not to hear “All that you touch…”
By the way, Byron, if you can figure out a way to include “Free Four” from Obscured By Clouds as a title and song clip, that would be just Grooooooooovy Like Graaaaaaaavy.
(Bacon Gravy even)
Just found your comic yesterday & am now completely caught up… I am loving this thing!
okay, 60 comments? wow, now that’s one LUCKY blouse.
