Stand Back, Derry!

I heard this at some point last weekend, and it struck me that I've never posted it here. I have loved this song as far back as I can remember. A lot of 80s 'hits' became essentially ubiquitous decades ago, however, this one never fails to grab my attention for its duration.

From Stevie Nick's second solo album, The Wild Heart, released in 1983. That would have been when I first heard this, too. I didn't have MTV, but a friend did, and this one was all over 80s radio. 




NCB:

Short week this week. Wheww! After last week, I'm definitely up for a short pull:


A new Image book I thought I'd give a try. Sounds cool. Here's the solicitation blurb, straight from League of Comic Geeks:

"When Jonathan Reason falls asleep, he becomes... something else. Every night, it stalks his quiet town, killing (seemingly) indiscriminately. When he wakes, covered in blood, our story begins. This new horror mystery from ZANDER CANNON (Heck, Top 10, Kaijumax) shows us the horrifying waking hours of an unwilling part-time killer."

I'm unfamiliar with Cannon's work, however, I really dig books where the creator writes and draws, and sleep has always fascinated me, so I'm looking forward to where this may take me.


The second volume of Zac Thompson's Body Fantasy/Horror Into the Unbeing comes to a close. Will there be a third? Can't wait to find out!


One more after this one. I have loved this book, loved every cover, but none more than this one. Majestic, 




Watch:

While I am not the biggest fan of Andy Muschietti's IT movies - they're good, for sure, but also definitely have their issues - I am very excited to get out from under the time constraints of a theatrical release run-time and revisit Derry in a premium television format.


If HBO's Welcome to Derry can even be half what Castle Rock was, I will be happy. There's a full article over on Bloody Disgusting for more information. No release date yet.

Peace is won through routine and commitment. These form the path to Enlightenment.

More about ritual, which I have been sorely lacking the last week or so. Time to hunker down and reestablish my routines/rituals.

This song f*&kin' Rocks!



I've loved this song since I was a kid, and for some reason despite its heavy use of what is now very 80s synth patches and reversed drum sound, this one never felt old or dated to me. Of course, now, because of groups like M83 and Cut Copy, those 80s sounds have been re-contextualized and don't sound quite so dated anymore. Lots of radio yesterday - which is rare - but we shuffled back and forth in K's car to prep her Mom's place for the move today and Jack FM was on for most of that time, and what's more, they played a lot of really good songs. This song was one of those.

Playlist yesterday:

Radio
Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine - White People and the Damage Done
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Blood Lust
