Tears for the Dying - Lost Girls


I found Tears for the Dying last night watching Alice Maio Mackay's Bad Girl Boogey, which just hit Shudder. This track grabbed me the moment it began to play onscreen, and it was just with quite a gusto I made my way over to Apple Music and downloaded the entire album, which I have yet to play, but am looking forward to this morning.




Watch:

As stated above, I threw on Alice Maio Mackay's Bad Girl Boogey last night and was instantly blown away. This film has such a DIY feel, but also, it feels so much like a Video Nasty from back in the 80s. 


The opening setup and kills, which take place over the course of many "Halloweens" and involve different groups of people are brutal and stem from a creepy, blue-collar Occult underground that just works for me in so many ways.




Playlist:

Stereophonics - Just Enough Education to Perform
The Veils - ... And Out of the Void
Cake - Fashion Nugget
Cake - Motorcade of Generosity
Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission
Jim Williams - Possessor OST
Fever Ray - Radical Romantics




Card:

From Jonathan Grimm's Hand of Doom Tarot, which you can buy HERE.



• 0: The Fool
• VIII: Strength
• Seven of Cups


The journey here is one of Strength, or rekindling it. Victory is assured, or at least likely, but the first steps have to be taken. I'm afraid this pain in my knees is not going to go away; that would suck. I feel an apathy toward myself has crept in around the edges of my life; I'm so focused on the things I focus on (the elements of the world that tend to populate these pages), that it's difficult to muster the reserves to focus on myself. Because, of course, "something always comes along to save the Simpson children." Only, that's not true, is it? Just because I'm sitting here typing, healthy now, doesn't mean I will be in a year, a month or even a day.
