Brigitte Calls Me Baby - Too Easy

 

From their forthcoming debut full-length album Too Easy, out now. Order HERE. Really digging this band. 
 


Watch:

Wes Craven passed away on August 30th, 2015, so for the last few nights, I've been watching some of his lesser-known works for a tribute episode we're going to do on The Horror Vision. Last night, I chose Shocker.

 

I saw this back when it first hit VHS, but not since. Let me tell you, this was way more enjoyable than I remembered! Shocker is a totally misguided attempt to make another Freddy-level character/mythology, and while the film fails to do that, it ends up being super fun just from how hard it swings for that ball. Mitch Pileggi deserves a goddamn award for how 'all-in' he goes with the role of Horace Pinker, and while a whole lotta the movie makes no sense whatsoever - why park a van with your name on it in front of the house where you're killing people? Why does Jonathan's girlfriend come back as a powerful spirit for good? How could all the police in this town be that fucking stupid? - none of the inconsistencies, absurdities and downright missteps do anything but add to the fun. 




Playlist:

Perturbator - Dangerous Days
Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta III: Saturnian Poetry
Prince - Little Red Corvette (single)
Horrendous - Ontological Mysterium
The Ocean - Heliocentric
Protomartyr - The Agent Intellect
Mastodon - Emperor of Sand
Peter Gabriel - So
Oranssi Pazuzu - Valotus (pre-release single)




Card:

Today's card for study is the Six of Wands: Victory.


View troubles and disruptions as lessons - they have been necessary to grow. Life is Victory simply by living. Not everyone makes it out of the Strife and Chaos of the Fives.
