The Damned - Beauty of the Beast (Live in London)


From The Damned's double live disc Night of A Thousand Vampires, which Mr. Brown gifted me a few months back, and has in the last week or two, become an indispensable part of my morning ritual and one of my favorite live albums of all time.




Watch:

Last night, I took K to see the new Crow movie. You can read my thoughts over on Letterbxd, but in a nutshell, skip it unless you like having dirt rubbed directly into your eyes.


This is the only Crow I will likely ever recognize. 




Read:

I cannot remember the last time I was so excited to read a book:


Written by Giorgio De Maria in 1975 but not translated into English until this year, Warren Ellis posted about The Twenty Days of Turin on his LTD earlier in the week, and the second I read the synopsis, my mind locked with anticipation for reading this. As Ellis writes by way of summary:

"A decade previously, Turin suffered twenty days of mass insomnia marked by nightly massacres committed by persons unseen or indescribable. The many hundreds of witnesses cannot explain what happened."

Literally, all I needed to become obsessed. I've been hemming and hawing with what my next book to read will be, just found it.
