It seems that, at seventy-two years of age, Alan Moore is launching a record label called Other Shoe. What exactly Other Shoe will be dropping from Alan, os yet to be announced, but the first offering is from the Northampton-based noise rock band 72% and their new album I'm Not Happy and That's On You Three. Also, I'll always take any excuse to run a bunch of songs that Alan Moore has either written, recorded or both, as well as links to his performance art CDs. And some with videos showing the comic books that they originally came from.

Ouverture : The Hair Of The Snake That Bite Me by Alan Moore and Tim Perkins

Mister Moon from The Show, directed by Mitch Jenkins. And here are the full unbroadcast/unpublished lyrics to that one.

Me and my friend Mr. Moon, people say we make the perfect pair.
Even when we're out of tune, we're so debonair they just don't care.
Me and my friend Mr. Moon, we're so very versatile besides.
He can shine while I can croon, I can strum while he directs the tides.
Why can't those Russians and Americans just all agree that he stays with me.
Oh, me and my friend Mr. Moon, he can shine while I can croon!

Me and my friend Mr. Moon, I don't think we get along too bad.
We don't rise till afternoon. We both wane and both send people mad.
Me and my friend Mr. Moon guide migrating oyster-shoals from space…
We both look good in lagoons. We both have a dark and hidden face…
If only everyone beneath the sun could comprehend that I'm his best friend.
Oh, me and my friend Mr. Moon we both look good in lagoons!
