Black Lodge Review Over at HorrorDNA
Every time I say I’m not going to write and focus on music, I end up coming back to writing about horror. My first almost-publication was a Halloween edition of my sixth grade school paper. I wrote movie reviews and drew pumpkins for a rating system. They got printed (on orange paper!) but were never … Continue reading Black Lodge Review Over at HorrorDNA
Marginalia #8
I’ve been rereading M.R. James’s stories. He’s most associated with ghost stories and quiet horror, but as an influence on Lovecraft there are plenty of creepy crawlies for those kinds of fans. I get why they seem archaic to some contemporary readers. Jacobi’s readings are perfect in the audiobooks. Puppets and animation in a serious … Continue reading Marginalia #8
Past Future Hate
Some nice shots by Dee Dee Kohl of Future Hate at the Handlebar in Pensacola. Continue reading Past Future Hate
Marginalia #7
Artaud’s manifestos on the Theater of Cruelty. Certainly transferable to other art forms. I read this 20+ years ago after discovering various early-20th Century avant-garde manifestos. Worth a reread with fresh eyes and more experience. Holbein’s paintings are favorites and I’ve always wanted to track these down. Functions like a Memento Mori Tarot. Le danse … Continue reading Marginalia #7
Future Hate at The Handlebar
I’ll be measuring out the thunder lumber again for Future Hate on Friday. Looks like I’ll be seeing an array of old Mobile friends there. Should be fun! Continue reading Future Hate at The Handlebar
Marginalia #6
This was repeatedly recommended to me, so I finally read it. Very practical if you’re open to it. If anything, it may help refine your current processes. I tend to set goals that are too general and even though I know tracking is important, I often stop doing it. Here’s to making that a habit. … Continue reading Marginalia #6
Marginalia #5
More interesting and insightful than I thought it was going to be. Australian folk horror from the early 80s. A precursor to Hereditary, maybe? Genuinely bad, but possibly fun for those with a penchant and the patience for horror on a low budget in the 80s. Takes on apartment horror/possession. Some hilarious dialogue hilariously delivered. … Continue reading Marginalia #5
Marginalia #4
A light academic introduction to the Kolchak mythos. The author makes a case for Kolchak being the blueprint for the television version of the occult detective/reporter. Some interesting horror and historical analysis throughout. A great book on the use and experience of drones in music. Covers folk, traditional, rock, electronic, and other genres. A trio … Continue reading Marginalia #4
