chromazoid: comics anthology and mix tape

Okay, I thought about just putting in the widget, but the video rocks!
So, that's what I chose.
How did I choose this project, of all the possibilities on kickstarter?
Well, I was cruising through the "Ending Soon" ventures and there it was, with its lurid, day-glo colors and crazy name and promise of music to accompany my reading enjoyment.
Say what?
That's right: as far as I know, this is the first-ever deliberate creation of a soundtrack for reading comics. Moreover, for the nine comics in the Chromazoid anthology, there will be nine songs, each inspired by the comic for which they will be background music. Isn't that WILD??? Reading-enhancement soundtracks - what a novel idea!!!
Here's its bloglink so you can follow along, too.
And here's a teaser of things to come, posted in their "updates" on kickstarter:

51 BACKERS!

Thanks to all of you who've backed this project so far! We've passed the 50 backer mark, and I hope we'll pass the 100 backer mark too! Please tell others about Chromazoid!

Here's an impassioned description of some of the stories in the book by our very own Nick Jackson:

"tales of English schoolchildren, domestic strife between a cat and a snake, a tragic opera of love and betrayal between dog and master, we're talking stories about cosmic blood-borne pathogens, about catching mer-apes in fishing nets, about crystals. It includes a mix-tape of artists across the country- all music directly inspired by the comics- folkies, sludge-punks, an experimental clarinetist, wailing brass- it's there."

How could I resist?
I could not.
Yeah!!!
