New Music from The Cure!!!


Even though I'm pretty sure many of us in 2024 harbor suspicions that our world is winding down, I usually cut the temptation to give that idea any credence by reminding myself that every generation up through time has probably thought the same thing. Blame that on all the fearmongering the Christians used a mentally ill poet named Enoch's writings for. That said, when Robert Smith starts singing about the world ending, I tend to ruminate on the idea with a little more consideration. 

"I know, I know my world has grown old..."

Fucking chills, mate. Fucking chills.

Spending my post-Halloween morning with the new album from The Cure. You can order a copy HERE.
 


31 Days of Halloween:



Once again, I closed the season with George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead. I picked this ritual up from my good friend/Horror Vision cohost Anthony a few years back, and it has stuck! I can't think of a more meaningful way to close 31 Days of Halloween and Sam Hain than with the movie that birthed the entire modern era of the genre I love. And NoTLD is Public Domain, so it's all over YouTube and I thought I'd post it here today.

Card:

A one-card draw for MY new fiscal year:


Enlightenment. Suppressed desires, or perhaps in my case, ideas. The Lightbringer. Also, a warning against following the answers others may offer to you. A good card for a new year. Raising a glass to the idea perhaps most associated with this card, "Worship Thyself!!!"
