If you caught our interview with Justin Scwhanke last week, you might have saw he mentioned a new project he was starting called Weird and Revered! Today, he dropped the first promo for it that’s 17 minutes of weird… and filled with BMX! Hit play and take it all in!
“There lived a skeletal character with an appetite for oddity. One day this individual—simply known as Obscure Oswald—walked into a desolate saloon to get a drink and spit some game. Never one for normality, he ordered a gallon of vinegar and proceeded to talk to the bartender. His face began to swell and his complexion became pale, but he reveled in this uncomfortable state.
The topic of long term goals eventually came up in conversation. The bartender explained that she yearned to leave her hometown and roam the planet like a vagabond. She emphasized the fact that these travels would need to be conducted in a moderately classy fashion. Obscure Oswald replied that he was indeed a wanderer, although with little class, and was seeking to create a full-fledged vagabond clan. When the bartender asked if this was his long term plan, he explained that it was only a small part of the bigger picture. “What exactly is the bigger picture?” she asked. “The bigger picture is to promote weirdness to the extent that it is mutually desired and viewed with reverence” he said.
Obscure Oswald then took his last swig of vinegar. “So the objective is to become weird and revered?” the bartender questioned. Before he could respond his stomach began to rumble like a violent pride of lions chasing a fleeing harem of zebras. A few convulsions later and Obscure Oswald was on the ground unconscious. The bartender, having become accustomed to this type of situation (although for different reasons), cleaned up the mess and dragged his body out back. She decided however, that from here on in, she would devote her life to becoming a connoisseur of all things obscure. The bartender then resolved to painting an intricate pattern of white to black gradients on Obscure Oswald’s belly while chanting about the oddities of life.
