Bring Me the Disco King, Mr. Atkins

Bringing this year's Bowie Week to a close with possibly my favorite song by him, the closing track from 2005's Reality. I have a short story I wrote around the time this album came out that pertains to the mood and abstractions in this song, a time-traveling hitman stuck killing time in the 70s waiting for his target, the titular Disco King. I haven't even looked at it in probably twenty years; maybe one day soon.

I've probably posted this track here before. However, there is a very specific reason I'm posting it again now. Tune in tomorrow.

Watch:

Holy smokes - haven't been online all that much this weekend, so I just caught wind of this now, thanks to Bloody Disgusting:

I grabbed mine; I still hadn't upgraded my old DVD copy of Night of the Creeps, so this is fantastic news. Granted, I don't own nor have any plans to get a 4K tv or player, however, I believe this comes with a standard BR as well. If not, I'll find a home for it and grab the BR separately. I'm really just here for Mr. Atkins.

Order from Shout Factory HERE.

2018: September 7th

A collaboration between Alain Johannes Trio and Mike Patton? Nice. Happy weekend peoples! My good friend John is in town and we are going to have some fun! First up - Night of the Creeps on the big screen in my friend Ray's front yard tonight. No, you didn't read that wrong. Ray has a very large inflatable screen and a killer sound system and he puts them up in his front lawn and plays movies until like 4AM. It's amazing. And it's ending soon, because Ray and his family rent and the landlord wants the place back, after like 15 years. These are the harsh truths of the modern world. They have a Go Fund Me and I wanted to post something about it (I just found out about it - I think they got talked into doing it but have trouble asking for help. Just like I would). Link to it HERE.

I watched a flick on Shudder last night called Observance. Very good. Totally a Weird Fiction novella done as a film; I could see the Laird Barron influence in it, which is definitely a good thing. Highly recommended.
