Boom Boom Yeah, Brad Neely
Brand-new nutterness from Brad Neely
By Kimberley Jones, 3:51PM, Tue. May 6, 2008
Austin-based animator Brad Neely has had Warner Bros. on his back (for screening Harry Potter with his own fast-and-loose-with-the-facts narration) and the viral masses at his feet (for his giddily nonsensical Founding Father rap, "Cox & Combes' Washington": "he had a pocketful of horses/ fucked the shit out of bears"). So what's he gonna do next?
Own the entire month of May, that's what.
Every Monday in May, Superdeluxe.com will premiere a new installment of Neely's new opus China, IL, and all four episodes put together will premiere TV-side on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block on Sunday, May 25 at 10:45pm.
The first episode, titled "Romeo + Romeo," started streaming yesterday. It's three minutes of high-speed, ejaculate-obsessed nutterness that turns weirdly tender when man/child Baby Cakes makes up a song about a dead women he's besotted with:
"Boom boom yeah / got so much in common / except that I'm a person still."
He says boom boom yeah, I say boom boom yeah.
