Thursday, August 28, 2003 everybody to the limit! homestar has arrived. 
Kindred World in Animation By NEIL STRAUSS n the 1990's the brothers Matt and Mike Chapman hoped to achieve some notoriety in indie rock. Mike Chapman played in a band from Athens, Ga., called Hi-Score, which recorded several songs for the label Kindercore. Matt Chapman was in Tallahassee, Fla., writing clever lyrics with his group the New You, which released a locally admired CD called "Here's Where Things Turn Around" on AAJ Records. Neither band made it. So the brothers turned to Flash animation and created a Web site, www.homestarrunner.com, that is a 180-degree turn from the world of indie rock. Its music is inanely catchy, synthesizer-based children's music for adults. The seamless, richly nuanced animated universe they have created is a place not of indie sarcasm but of pop innocence, where the mentality of the characters is at fifth-grade level. Its influences are not the Velvet Underground, Big Star and the Stooges but "Peanuts" cartoons, Japanese anime and Atari video games. go, homestar, go! posted by downtown | 3:02 PM |
