poster boy

Once the k-mix is done, I think this will be the cover.

click for larger image

It's from a comic written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Philip Bond called "Kill Your Boyfriend". It was a single issue that was advertised in one of the Hellblazers I bought a while back (they are both published by Vertigo). I loved the girl on the cover, with her red hair and glasses holding a bottle of vodka, she's my cartoon alter-ego.
The gun? Not so much.

(update: Hee! W. sent a non-violent version of her HERE! Thanks!)

Anyway, I sought it out and eventually got a rare copy on eBay.
It must have been kismet. I love the fact that she has a poster of Keanu Reeves on her bedroom wall, and I had no idea there was a k-connection until I read it when it arrived.

I don't actually have any posters of Keanu on my wall.
I have my Dogstar Fillmore poster, and a couple of other things like the set list from my first Dogstar show in an acrylic box frame. I'm still waiting for my brother to frame several others, especially my Hamlet poster and a couple one-sheets. I figure once they are professionally framed I can get away it even though I'm technically a grown-up.

Why yes, I am still single....

Even if I wasn't, they may not hang in the bedroom, but I would never give up my posters framed collectible Keanu prints.

Beat Symphony - Poster of Keanu Reeves (right click and save)


I've been a patient boyfriend
So why can you never bend
Why do you always have to get your own way...always...
This isn't just about a biased call
That just looks hellish on the wall
This isn't a just a personal attack
Just take it down and while you're at it
Take your Beanie Babies back

I'll let you watch Must See TV
And I'll let you sing off key
Pick at my food, why not I'll share
You can even let Regis Philbin
Teach me how to be a millionaire
Steal my car keys
Wear my shirts without asking please
You're a fool if you really believe
I'm gonna let you keep up that poster of Keanu Reeves

I can take a blow by blow
Of the Rosie O'Donnell Show
I even managed to eat that cake you baked
Your taste in music has lacked for a couple of years
And that sounds hellish on my ears
Don't even skip to the next track
Just take all of those CDs back

I'll let you watch Must See TV
And I'll let you sing off key
Pick at my food, why not I'll share
You can even let Regis Philbin
Teach me how to be a millionaire
Steal my car keys
Wear my shirts without asking please
But you'll surely drive me into drink
If you make me listen to another song from N'SYNC

Oh no - Don't you even think about turning that on
Ooooh! You're pushing it
Ok, but if you turn up the volume I'll be gone!

You want me to go where?
Oh no, I don't think so

This isn't because Gene Siskel died
I'm being honest, I felt guilty the last time I lied
You know I didn't read any reviews
I just know I don't have 2 hours to lose.

I'll let you watch Must SeeTV
And I'll let you sing off key
Pick at my food, why not I'll share
You can even let Regis Philbin
Teach me how to be a millionaire
Steal my car keys
Wear my shirts without asking please
But you really must think
That I'm some sort of sucker
If you think I'm going to the new movie with Chris Tucker

Walking slowly to my grave
Turn me into some sort of sex slave
Make you wear that shirt
You can even have another
I'll even go and buy cigarettes for your mother
You can talk in your sleep
But modern art that you can keep
But you're a fool if you really believe
I'm gonna let you keep up that poster of Keanu Reeves

Yeah baby! You *know* I looove this picture!!!
Oh, and how I long to hear the final version of the K-mix :-)

I used to have a full-lenght Keanu-poster in my bedroom. Then I got a boyfriend and he made me remove it. He said he felt that "Keanu was staring at him". It made him feel uncomfortable when performing certain acts.
*snicker*

Julie, what he really felt was "inadequate", but who could blame him?

Krix, love, love, love the art! A Most Excellent choice. And, I had no idea so many songs had a Keanu reference. But I should have.

Posted by: Chianti on September 24, 2003 02:27 PM

You're welcome mee darlin'..;)

I love that song...LOL

You're lucky you can have *ahem* 'Keanu prints' on your wall at all...

Don't get married...

Posted by: Jen on September 24, 2003 02:30 PM

*love* the pic. And gawd that song is hilarious! Can't wait for the K-mix...

Sometimes being single has its advantages...

AHAHAHAHA! For some reason, when I first saw the pic (before I read what you wrote), I thought *you* put that poster of Keanu in the photo (I just thought you knew a way! LOL)! What a freaky coincidence! I love it though!!!! :O)

P.S. Love the cartoon alter ego! Tres Cool! :O)

Love the cd cover art! but that name?

I know that its your 'buzz' phrase and all, but since nothing you do could be classified as 'sucky' -- except maybe that thing *wink wink* that you're considering doing for tickets to the Revolutions Premiere -- may I suggest "K-MIX by Krix!" as an alternative name?

Posted by: w on September 24, 2003 08:35 PM

The speech bubble is definitely negotiable. I just threw something in there.

Posted by: krix on September 24, 2003 08:37 PM

How's that?

Posted by: krix on September 24, 2003 08:54 PM

perfections, too cool and just so you. the song, ha, get over it dude!!!!!!!

Posted by: tess on September 24, 2003 09:53 PM

Love the "Whoa!"

Posted by: w on September 25, 2003 01:08 AM

How many songs to the K-mix so far...i've got 3...should i have more?

Posted by: Keanu_Soul on September 25, 2003 02:05 AM

Great cover!! Just like Natasha, I first thought you created that yourself. But then I read on and thought....how could she possibly go with anything else!!

Posted by: Lisa on September 25, 2003 06:48 AM

Keanu_Soul, there are five songs so far.
