It's barely 2012, but comics writer Grant Morrison has already served time spinning discs for Los Angeles radio station KCRW and announced his own fan convention.
Details on this fall's MorrisonCon are sparse, but it evidently will be a weekend-long event featuring Morrison and nine other comics creators. Put on by excellent comics lounge Isotope and exhaustive comics site iFanboy, it's bound to be a blowout if Morrison is involved (as Isotope's photos of his 2011 visit illustrate).

Attendees can sonically prepare themselves for MorrisonCon with a quick listen to Morrison's Wednesday guest-DJ set at Los Angeles radio station KCRW. He played music by The Smiths (their anti-Thatcher anthem "The Queen Is Dead"), Dr. Octagon and part-Python Beatles geeks The Rutles.
Morrison even revealed the unofficial theme song for his epic cyberdelic series The Invisibles: "Mogadishu," from Luke Haines' project Baader Meinhof.
"It's the sexiest song about terrorism that you will ever hear," Morrison told KCRW's Eric J. Lawrence.
Check out Morrison's guest-DJ set, which is available for stream or download, and let us know in the comments section below if you hear different songs in your head while reading The Invisibles (or any of his other comics). Especially if you plan on singing them aloud at MorrisonCon.
