Dig the track, not 100% sure how I feel about the music video. Usually, when the performer begins writhing suggestively on a bed, the end is nigh. Hopefully that's not the case here.
New album The Dark is out Friday, 8/21. Pre-order HERE.
NCBD:
Short stack this week. The wallet says thank'ee!
"As technology in America advanced, cities began creating the GRID — a robotic transportation system that not only made cars obsolete, it made them illegal. But an outlaw named “Clutch” has no choice but to get behind the wheel one more time. What starts out as a race to save his granddaughter's life quickly turns into a rebellion against technology, fascism, and the future of a divided America."
Watch:
I forgot to mention it here, but I finally got around to watching Mark Savage's 12 to Midnight. If you'll remember, this is the werewolf flick with Charles Bronson doppelgánger Robert Bronzi.
I'd waited for this after posting about it over two years ago. I waited for this to hit streaming for what felt like forever, then it toggled off my radar. I'm not sure when it hit Prime, but it's included there now, so run out and watch this one if you want to see a man that - goddamn, does he look like Charles Bronson! Call me crazy, but I actually really enjoyed this flick. Even more, I enjoyed recording an Irreverent Deep Dive on it for The Horror Vision recently. That drops at the end of the month, so I'll update here when that happens. In the meantime, give it a whirl.

See, this is nuts.
I couldn't write anything of an interpretation last night when I finished this entry around 10:40 PM and scheduled it to post at 2:30 AM. I was spent and resorted to one of those crappy fortune-cookie interpretations, which is banal and pointless and not what I'm about in terms of Tarot at all. Gotta stop that.

Anyway, I couldn't muster anything, so I posted the cards and left it. I do this from time to time, intending to come back later to really think about the cards and come up with something. Well, today I woke up at 3:43 AM and have been up since (currently 6:03 AM). That's what I get for having three days in a row of 8+ hours. So here I am, thinking about the cards as the small hours wane, and I come across the "Dawn; sunrise" interpretation for the Six of Pentacles (Disks), and I'm just blown away. Because I was just watching the sunrise before I found that entry.
This has me cross-referencing with Crowley's The Book of Thoth, where, on page 215, his brief dalliance with the Six of Disks mentions the colors on the Thoth version of the card as "... a suggestion of Tiphareth fully realized on Earth."
Not sure, but I think that's an indication that my health troubles are winding down. Tiphareth is The Yellow House, a place of beauty, where the within and without or microcosm/macrocosm, balance in harmony. No small feat. Yet, guided by the Two of Wands, which is being in control of yourself and the King of Pentacles, which Crowley, in turn, cross-references with the I Ching hexagram Kien (53rd) as "... slow, steady emancipation from repressive conditions," makes me think I'm going to pass this fucking stone soon and then all the other shit will just disappear.
One can hope.
