Fuck Buttons Came From the Woods

 

A little Fuck Buttons to start the day. Been awhile since I jammed these guys. Still one of the best electronic shows I ever saw - circa 2010 at LA's Troubador.
 



Watch:

Tell me this doesn't look like a bowl of fun:

 

Yeah, the 80s Summer Camp Slasher has been done to death, and maybe this won't work as well as the trailer suggests, but when done correctly, with a dash of something new, this genre still makes my blood sing. There's a full write-up over HERE on Bloody Disgusting.




Playlist:

C-Building Kids - Shitting in the Urinal
Cocksure - Operation C.O.C.K.S.U.R.E.
Metallica - Hardwired
Karl Casey - XX EP
Fvnerals - Let The Earth Be Silent
Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport

In order to transform, Understanding and Balance are required. This is kind of what I'm in the middle of at the moment - I've been on a tear working on Shadow Play Book Two, and it's transforming before my eyes. However, while wholly invigorating, the actual act of this Transformation can lead to an overzealous tendency toward flights of fancy. The writing must remain balanced and joined to the inherent understanding I'm developing - in other words, let the book talk through me, and don't get in its way.

Sabbath Lads

For my fellow Sabbath Lads. Ozzy has never sounded so serene.




Watch:

The season opener of John Favre's The Mandalorian was so chocked full of goodness that I thought, for a moment, I might explode. Thankfully, someone is doing something cool with Star Wars.


Also, now that I've restarted my Disney + sub, I'm really looking forward to Wandavision. So much so, I think I'm going to start re-watching the MCU from the beginning, filling in those gaps I've missed along the way. What stoked my excitement?


I feel like I am about to very much re-engage with Marvel. 



NCBD:

Pretty light week. 


A new series from Aftershock Comics, Miskatonic looks like it will pit J. Edgar Hoover's "Red Scare" against the seedy underground world of Lovecraftian Death Cults. How could I not want to read this?


The old reliable, every-month-is-better-than-the-last.




Playlist:

Selim Lemouchi and His Enemies
Opeth Deliverance

I found an excellent podcast recently that has become increasingly important to the research aspect of writing Shadow Play Book II and spent some time listening yesterday. Mexico Unexplained is a series of quick but amalgam of informative historical facts and subsequent conjecture, and it's fascinating. Go to their site HERE





Card:


Patient and stable. Also, coming out the other side of that solitude we started today's post off with.
