Comments: I took the cover from Derek Rocks Again and put it on the TV in a room and made Derek Rocks Man sitting in a chair, 'cuz it's As Usual it has to be a much more typical setting. Derek Rocks Man is an everyman. An everyman that watches his concerts on TV. I think this really added the the character as a whole. The songs were tough picks. I think it represents a healthy variety: from the quieter Semisonic jam, to the hardcore beats of Rage Against the Machine. It also features 4 (count 'em 4!) local Maine songs from Rustic and Rustic's keyboardist Spence. Track listing: 1. Offspring - Want You Bad 2. Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You 3. Spencer Albee as Frankenstein - I'm Breathing 4. Electrasy - Morning Afterglow 5. Mathew Good Band - Hello Time Bomb 6. Rustic Overtones - Check 7. Semisonic - Chemistry 8. Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly 9. Rage Against the Machine - Guerrilla Radio 10. Incubus - Drive 11. Everclear - When It All Goes Wrong Again 12. Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It 13. Moby - Southside (feat. Gwen Stefani) 14. Radiohead - Creep 15. Sublime - Wrong Way 16. Rustic Overtones - Gas On Skin 17. Offspring - She's Got Issues 18. Our Lady Peace - Life 19. Spencer Albee as Frankenstein - Two Feet 20. Diffuser - Karma  Comments: Now if you've been looking at the covers so far, you should have noticed Derek Rocks Man doesn't have a face unless it's the only way to express his emotions. This was a creative challenge I conciously made for myself. On the first CD the guy wasn't even drawn by me, but on the second I could have easily given him a face, but I enjoyed the idea of making myself come up with a way to convey emotions face-less. Now I found myself needing to make him look tired and without eyes or mouth, and I gave up on that idea! But I came up with a new rule for this CD: passion-filled, more extreme emotions will create eyes and mouth. Like yelling, being mad, or being very tired. Track listing: 1. New Found Glory - Hit or Miss 2. Blink 182 - Adam's Song 3. Cold - No One 4. Marvelous 3 - Get Over 5. Twitchboy - A Note 6. Alien Ant Farm - Movies 7. Fuel - Innocent 8. Our Lady Peace - Clumsy 9. Limp Bizkit - My Way 10. Radiohead - Idioteque 11. Offspring - Come Out And Play 12. Deftones - Digital Bath 13. Powderfinger - My Happiness 14. 311 - Don't Stay Home 15. They Might Be Giants - Boss Of Me 16. Ret Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe 17. Tantric - Breakdown 18. Papa Roach - Between Angels & Insects 19. Spacehog - I Want To Live  Comments: In my infinite wisdom I made a playlist (that's what I do, base a playlist on the CD to plan the order) that was soooo huge that I couldn't fit it on one CD. So I got more songs and some aren't the best, but I managed to scrounge them up so that I could fit the songs on 2 CDs. So what may have been the seventh CD because it was created first, but in a way the eighth is just a continuation of the it! Also notice how I just took a photo of the band KISS and drew over with Derek Rock Man's head. This was the first, but not last time I'd do that! Track listing: 1. Blink 182 - Damnit 2. Lit - Miserable 3. Hed P.E. - Killing Time 4. Spacehog - In the Mean Time 5. Rage Against the Machine - How I Could Just Kill a Man 6. Stone Temple Pilots - Sour Girl 7. Three Doors Down - Duck And Run 8. Poe - Hey Pretty 9. Oleander - Are You There? 10. Mighty Mighty BossTones - Knock On Wood 11. Nothingface - Bleeder 12. Dave Matthews Band - The Space Between 13. Soul Asylum - Somebody to Shove 14. Ace Frehley - New York Groove 15. Run DMC - Them Girls (ft Fred Durst) 16. Fuel - Hemorrhage (In My Hands) 17. Vast - Don't Have Anything 18. Living End - Roll On 19. American Hi-Fi - Flavor Of The Weak  Comments: Not really knowing what to do with this CD Matt came up with the title "Derek Rocks 24/7" and I was stuck coming up with a cover image for that. I figured I could just draw Derek Rocks Man and just take it from there. So I play around with some stuff like a change in the Derek Rocks title (which before had always been shimmery and slanted) and radial blur. So now that Derek Rocks Man looks like he's spinning I add in a little tip about listening until you become dizzy and I have myself a cover to go along with a solid bunch of songs that have a Summery touch. Track listing: 1. Sum 41 - Fat Lip 2. Eve 6 - Here's to the Night 3. Monster Magnet - Heads Explode 4. Linkin Park - Crawling 5. MxPx - My Life Story 6. Train - Drops of Jupiter 7. Creeper Lagoon - Wrecking Ball 8. A Perfect Circle - The Hollow 9. Staind - It's Been A While 10. Collective Soul - Gel 11. Boy Hits Car - I'm A Cloud 12. Crazy Town - Revolving Door 13. Grand Theft Audio - Stoopid Ass 14. Saliva - Your Disease 15. Cake - The Distance 16. Godsmack - Greed 17. Sublime - Santeria 18. Rehab - It Don't Matter 19. Limp Bizkit - Faith 20. Greenday - Waiting 21. Lucky Boys Confusion - Fred Astaire  Comments: With the song Outside by Staind on the song roster, there's never a more fitting time to call it "Derek Rocks Outside". I also thought I'd have some fun and put in a "super secret ultra-mega bonus hidden song" which I then advertise about on the cover and state specifically is at the end. Oh, the fun of it all! At least I got to airbrush stuff on the computer to make the fire look good. Track listing: 1. Cult - Rise 2. Staind - Outside 3. Blink 182 - The Rock Show 4. Lifehouse - Sick Cycle Carousel 5. From Zero - Check Ya 6. Our Lady Peace - Is Anybody Home? 7. Tool - Schism 8. Doves - Catch The Sun 9. Coldplay - Shiver 10. Black Crowes - Lickin' 11. Depeche Mode - Dream On 12.
