Without Stewat Copeland's unusual (for the time) use of reggae rhythms in pop rock songs, none of us would have ever heard of The Police or Sting.

"Sh-Boom" ("Life Could Be a Dream") is a #doowop song by the #RAndB vocal group #theChords. It was written by James Keyes, Claude Feaster, Carl Feaster, Floyd F. McRae, and William Edwards, members of the Chords, and was released in 1954. It is sometimes considered the first doo-wop or #rockAndRoll record to reach the top ten on the pop charts (as opposed to the R&B charts), as it was a top-10 hit that year for both the Chords (who first recorded the song).

Finally made it to the #RockAndRoll #HallOfFame. Underwhelming. It's like one good floor in the basement plus a video, garage band, the walk of fame and the gift shop.

I'm not against such places but they need proper curation. Same with award shows. It should be less about who is great but instead what's the bigger story and why do these artists, events and scenes matter. Provide multiple perspectives like a great museum does.

It's fine but you're better off with #500Songs.

Screaming at Comics with Kim Thayil’s Memoir

Kim Thayil’s 2026 memoir A Screaming Life is a great read for Soundgarden fans, giving us an articulate and introspective look into the history of a heavy yet genre-defying band of close friends who rose from obscurity to global fame, and all their triumphs and tragedies along that epic journey. Kim has been an influence on my guitar sensibilities ever since I was 17 and a friend played for me the Loud Love video. Besides his awesome riffs in odd time signatures, I love Kim’s wildly unconventional solos, such as the squealing, scratching, diving, harmonic-laden leads on the ultra-heavy Beyond The Wheel, where he eschews traditional melody and metal-styled shredding in favor of aggressive atmosphere and dissonant colors.

But this post is not about Kim the guitarist. No, this is ostensibly a comic-book blog, so let’s have a look at some of the comics-related memories Kim shares in his book. The first photo in the full-color middle section of the book shows a young Thayil holding a Batman comic. What issue could this possibly be?

It is none other than Batman 180, published in 1966, featuring a villain who apparently cannot be tried for his crimes because he dies… and yet mysteriously resurrects to commit more crime!

With a cover by Gil Kane, a script by Robert Kanigher, and interior art by one of Bob Kane’s “ghost” artists Sheldon Moldoff, it is a campy, ridiculous romp with strangely dark themes—and considering that Kim often refers to Soundgarden’s music and lyrics as dark psychedelia, maybe this book and others like it made a lasting impression on his artistic sensibilities.

The issue also shows Batman haunted by spectral visions in his dreams, much like the young Thayil once suspected his house was haunted when he heard strange thumping noises at night. Adult Kim has little patience for the paranormal and supernatural, and you’ll just have to read the book to find out the true nature of his childhood “ghost”.

On the same page, we see Batman attending a demonstration that lays to rest his suspicions of the villain’s paranormal powers and oddly reinforces Kim’s many statements about the limited representation of people of color in the world of metal and other heavy music. The man demonstrating an ability to fake death using ancient “yogic” techniques and who uses the word “sahib” is presumably of Indian heritage, like Kim—but this has got to be the whitest Indian I have ever seen.

This inexplicably whitewashed portrayal of an Indian puts a fine point on Kim’s concerns about the representation of people of color in American rock music. I honestly never gave much thought to Kim’s ethnicity—I’m more concerned with riffs than race—so it was interesting to see what it means to Kim, such as when he says he’s always felt more punk than metal due in no small part to punk’s more diverse inclusion of people from all walks of life when compared to your typical white-boy metal scenes of the 1980s.

That being said, no one can deny that Kim’s beard is legendary, and Batman 180 has something to say about beards! Below is a panel from a page of “public service announcements” called Health Myths Debunked, and you can learn more about these vintage PSAs in DC comics in my little archive of ones I’ve collected over the years.

Finally, Batman 180 has an ad for a model car called the Surf Hearse, which seems more like something Rob Zombie would be into, but reinforces the oddly dark themes of Batman’s tale.

When Kim talks about his love for vintage comics, it’s almost entirely related to DC’s flagship superheroes. In fact, he says that when he was 13, he submitted a story for DC’s Legion of Super-Heroes. And though it was rejected, that is exactly how Jim Shooter got into the business at the same age! What kind of alternate universe would we be living in if a teenage Kim had become a writer for DC? Given that Soundgarden is one of my all-time favorite rock bands, I can’t help but feel relieved that Kim’s life took a different path than Jim Shooter’s.

However, Kim states that his one literary contribution to comics was having a letter to the editor published in a 1975 issue of Detective Comics. So I dug through some old scans to see if we could track it down. Here it is, from the letters page of Detective Comics 451.

The letter is addressed to editor Julius Schwartz, but it was Schwartz’s assistant editor Bob Rozakis who answered. Bob had recently earned his first DC writing credit for a backup story only a few issues prior, and he would enjoy a long and influential career before his retirement.

Kid Kim praises issue 447, and he correctly spotted DC’s supernatural character the Phantom Stranger in the background of a panel from page 2. See if you can spot the Stranger, too!

Issue 447 guest-stars the utterly weird Creeper in the first of a two-part murder mystery that concludes in issue 448.

And once again, besides the supernatural overtones, this story includes more scenes of digging up graves! Somebody call the Surf Hearse!

And there you have it, folks: a little of my detective work about vintage Detective Comics, courtesy of Kim Thayil’s awesome memoir. A Screaming Life is a thoughtful and entertaining read due to Kim’s dry, understated wit and willingness to share his thoughts and feelings about the high points and low points of his musical career and personal life without ever seeming maudlin or melodramatic. The world might have missed out on Kim’s Legion of Super-Heroes, but we were blessed with decades of innovative guitar work that redefined the nature of heavy rock. I’d say we got the better end of that deal.

Collector’s Guide:
—Kim Thayil: A Screaming Life (in print, ebook, and audiobook)
—Batman 180 (pictured in Kim’s book)
—Detective Comics 447 (referenced in Kim’s letter)
—Detective Comics 448
—Detective Comics 451 (includes Kim’s letter)

“Hasta los años 90, en sociología el rock se estudia como resistencia frente a la cultura hegemónica, gramsciana”, explica Del Val. “A partir de los años 90, la forma de entender el rock gira a la corriente de Pierre Bourdieu y se plantea que lo que quiere es estar institucionalizado y legimitado: entrar en la academia, en los museos, que le den un Nobel a Bob Dylan…”. Un proceso de reconocimiento y taxidermización semejante al que experimentaron otras músicas como el jazz y que coincide con su pérdida de relevancia social.

Pocos han diagnosticado mejor esta situación que Simon Reynolds en ‘Retromania’, en el que explica la obsesión de la música popular por su propio pasado, lo que ha provocado que termine convirtiéndose en un producto de consumo nostálgico, pieza de museo y fetiche al mismo tiempo. “El crítico/músico Momus ha atacado la ‘museificación’ del rock, equiparándolo al repertorio de ‘obras maestras veneradas’ de la música clásica que se interpretan una y otra vez sin fin”, escribe Reynolds.

He visto el documental de Arte.tv Ucrania: juegos de guerra sobre un puesto de operadores de drones ucraniano en la guerra contra Rusia. Fueron varias cosas las que me sorprendieron entre ellas que el napalm sigue siendo permitido en los conflictos bélicos:

«Aunque criticado el napalm sigue estando autorizado hoy en día, excepto contra objetivos civiles. Lo utilizan ambos bandos.»

Otra de las cuestiones que me llamó la atención es la insistencia del soldado que opera el dron en el distanciamiento con lo que está haciendo, comenta en varias ocasiones que para el es como un videojuego y me llamó la atención el motivo:

«Yo hago mi trabajo lo mejor posible, pero intento distanciarme de todo esto, alejarme lo máximo posible. No quiero volver con un síndrome postraumático.»

Esta preocupación del TEPT… ¿viene del cine o es algo en lo que se incide en el propio ejército?

Al mismo tiempo que creaban dibujos de animales en cuevas los humanos de hace 40.000 años también trazaron símbolos abstractos en ellas. La paleoantropóloga Genevieve von Petzinger ha catalogado estas formas por todo el mundo, especialmente en Europa, y descubrió 32 símbolos presentes en todo el continente durante un período muy largo que considera que es un legado de la migración de los humanos modernos de Europa desde África.

Me llamó la atención que algunos de los símbolos se dieron sólo durante un tiempo y otros están localizados en un punto concreto del espacio como estos rectángulos divididos que aparecieron nada más que en el norte de España. Según comenta la paleoantropóloga algunos estudiosos los han clasificado como sígnos de familia o clan… pero reconozco que a mi me hizo gracia su parecido con el plano de un piso. ¿Problemas de vivienda ya en aquella época?

Curiosamente esta misma semana leí este artículo: Un grupo de investigadores hizo que una IA escribiera una indicación y que otra IA generara una imagen, y encontraron solo 12 motivos comunes repetidos en miles de imágenes.

Traducción automática de las citas.

Para la investigación, el grupo quería configurar una IA para generar imágenes sin intervención humana. Para ello, el equipo le dio a un generador de imágenes de IA una instrucción para que produjera una imagen. A continuación, se le pidió a una segunda IA que la describiera. La descripción se realimentó al generador de imágenes para crear una imagen basada en la instrucción escrita por la IA . Esto se prolongó durante 100 rondas. Los investigadores repitieron el experimento 40 veces y luego lo repitieron con cuatro generadores de imágenes diferentes.
Al analizar los resultados, los investigadores descubrieron que las imágenes tendían a encajar en uno de doce motivos o estilos diferentes. Según lo describieron, «…los sistemas evolucionaron sistemáticamente hacia resultados semánticos y visuales casi idénticos: faros tormentosos, escenas nocturnas urbanas, catedrales góticas e interiores palaciegos. En lugar de explorar posibilidades creativas, los bucles autónomos de IA parecen gravitar hacia lo que podría llamarse música visual de ascensor».

Los investigadores advirtieron que “el despliegue generalizado de tales sistemas podría homogeneizar inadvertidamente la cultura visual”.
Sin embargo, los investigadores señalan que la investigación sobre la transmisión cultural humana también tiende a repetir temas comunes, observando que estos, tanto en la narrativa como en las artes visuales, se repiten incluso en culturas distintas y durante diferentes períodos. «La diferencia no radica en la presencia de convergencia, sino en los atractores específicos: donde los humanos convergen en mitos sobre el diluvio y patrones espirales moldeados por la cognición corpórea, los sistemas de IA convergen en la estética de la fotografía de archivo moldeada por datos de entrenamiento a escala de internet», explicaron los investigadores.

En la película El casero (Hal Ashby, 1970) mientras los dos propietarios que acaban de comprar edificios en el barrio hablan se cuela por la ventana una bolsa con polvo, Cuando el protagonista le pregunta a la gente qué es aquello le responde: eviction powder, en el doblaje español: «polvo de expulsión». Aquí se puede ver la escena.

¿Existió el «eviction powder» o es una licencia de la película para indicar que no son bienvenidos? No he conseguido encontrar ninguna información al respecto y con ese nombre no aparece en el libro de Kristin Hunter en el que se basa la película.
