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 ] Play Now | 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!

Listen to the demo version of my Nik Furious song "Don't Stop" recorded for the upcoming Love & Monsters comics and music anthology:

This song takes its inspiration from a story by Shawn Atkins.

The anthology is currently funding on Kickstarter and there's only one week left to become a part of our project!

When you back us, you'll get this demo version plus the final full band version of Don't Stop AND more Nik Furious original instrumental songs like Rare Tear.
