A new unit begins today on SHELVED BY GENRE, now covering selected works of Alan Moore. We kick things off with a long chat on the first two books of V FOR VENDETTA, making time to offer up some of our trademark earthshaking reinterpretations of the classics: rangedtouch.com/2025/08/29/v...

owen's music has been a constant presence in my life for nearly 25 years, a consistent comfort and inspiration.
I hope that you are fortunate enough to have artists' work in your life that you've grown with and that grows you.

In anticipation of Advance Base's upcoming Eastern & Midwestern US tours, I've decided to share a couple of long-lingering but newly-completed Advance Base songs: "Movie Theater Manager" & "Blue Christmas 2." The songs are available exclusively from Bandcamp.
