My good friend and former Thirsty Crow Chris Saunders' new group, Wake the Devil, released another single last week, the group's first foray into Country.
It's fantastic.
It's fantastic.
We listened to this on repeat last Thursday while driving Sweetie to what we were pretty sure was going to be her final Vet visit, and in that twenty or so minutes, I feel in love with this track and it simultaneously burned itself into my DNA for all time.
I cannot wait for a proper release from these guys.
Upon starting Like Comment Survive, I was initially taken aback by the found footage formatting of the prose and feared this would infringe on my reading experience. NOT TRUE! Holy cow - the formatting sucked me right in.
Play:
Thanks to the mighty Bloody Disgusting for the heads up on this GROGEOUS Horror game coming to Switch on the 24th of July. I'd not heard of this, but SOMA is definitely now on my list:
I need to make some time coming up to play some of the games I still have lingering in half-completed states. I basically sat around the house all weekend mourning and didn't lift a thumb to make any progress on Inside, or Blasphemous, or Call of Cthulhu, or any of the Puppet Combo games - although those I honestly don't care about winning at all, as they are all about the atmosphere. That's the thing, though, and it's not a bad thing - I'd always rather read, or write, or watch a flick than play a video game. I can the spurts of interest and commitment where I find them.
Read:
I finished Timothy James' Like • Comment • Survive so quickly, I forgot to post about it here.
James' characters are very well-developed, and the scenario he sets up instantly intriguing. I read this over the course of three days, winnowing out spare time from a busy schedule just to creep a few more pages in here and there. One of the most immersive reads I've had in a while.

Card:
From Jonathan Grimm's Hand of Doom Tarot, which you can buy HERE.
• Three of Cups
• Six of Cups
• Nine of Pentacles
The overflowing emotion of the first two cards I get. This has been a mourning weekend. I'm not sure where the Nine of Pentacles fits in, but maybe it's enough to know I will be able to temper my emotions with the daily grind this week. I certainly was barely capable of tempering them with anything other than Sierra Nevada and movies over the last few days.
