On last Friday's episode of Animatic Attack (the AudioShocker's animation podcast), I snuck in a special opening theme -- my new Nik Furious song, Jackpot.

Animatic Attack #10 featuring Jackpot by Nik Furious [ 39:07 ] Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download

The song is a Valentine's Day gift I made for Justique. This year was our seventh Valentine's Day together, so riffing on the lucky number theme I decided to name the song Jackpot because when I met Justique I hit the jackpot!!!

The music starts at about 3:20 into the episode. It's a mellow instrumental funk jam with a slow go-go style drum beat, fat fretless bass, squealy synths, and acoustic guitar. I hope you dig it!

(FYI, be forewarned... AudioShocker conversation is always NSFW!)

Thanks to everyone who backed the crazy Love & Monsters comics and music anthology on Kickstarter.

It was a real nail-biter but we passed our funding goal with less than 24 hours to go and even reached a couple of stretch goals before things wrapped up last night.

I truly appreciate your support. I've had a lot of fun working on my Nik Furious cuts for Love & Monsters and I can't wait for you to hear all of the finished songs.

In case you missed 'em, you can listen to three of the six Nik Furious songs that you'll receive as a backer of this project:

- Wet-On-Wet
- Rare Tear demo
- Don't Stop demo

Props to Cynthia Lee, who organized and ran the campaign. There was a while there where I thought we might not make it, but she was confident in her plan and made sure that we finished in fine form.

I've got plans for a special solo Kickstarter campaign (both comics and music again) in 2014, so get ready for a li'l more crowdfunded fun from me next year!
