NCBD:

Big week, and I've already received a warning not to flip ahead in the finale for Dreadnok War, so I'm psyched. Let's get into it!

Creeping up on issue 30. Wow. Kirkman is building something great, and I'm here for it. 

Not a lot to say about the new creative team on TMNT so far. And that's not a bad thing by any means. The art is insanely good, and the writing feels like we're building to go somewhere interesting, so I'm just sitting back and waiting. Which, with the turtles, is always fun.

The one non-80s IP this week, and I'm happy as hell to have the respite. I love Jeff Lemire's Minor Arcana!

So weird that such a large part of my monthly pull is now centered on the toy properties I loved as a kid (and still love, let's face it). 

Whatever happens in this one, I have a feeling it's BIG! Great way to end Dreadnok War, which has really served as a revitalization for the Energon Universe's version of the Joes for me.

Card:

Just one card from Thoth today. I've been pulling at least one a night, independent of my Hand of Doom spreads. I've felt a reconnection to this deck of late, and I can feel myself growing into it in an even more substantial way than before, which is saying something, because I've now had this one for over twenty years. 

• Prince of Cups: Today, especially, don't undervalue pragmatism when dealing with Earthly matters. Vague, but I'll take it. There's also the intimation of making a decision and acting on it quickly. 

David Bowie/Brian Eno - Moss Garden

 

After an unexpected trip to Chicago for a funeral this past weekend, I've been so slammed at work I've barely had a chance to think of posting here. I couldn't miss closing Bowie Week 2026 with one of my favorite tracks from 1977's collaboration with Brian Eno, Low. Of the three albums in Bowie and Eno's "Berlin Trilogy," I'm pretty sure this one is my favorite. 

Ten years since he left us, and the world has done nothing but disintegrate.

Hallo Spaceboy

 

From 1995's Outside. Or rather, this is a remix of the song on Outside. A remix that leans heavily into 90s electronica and really makes it work. I mean, I prefer the album version, but this is definitely a cut above what a lot of other established artists were doing to keep up with 'the new sound' at the time.

Also, is that Pet Shop Boys' singer, Neil Tennant, singing on this track?

Watch:

Last Thursday, I saw Johannes Roberts' latest film, Primate. Can't recommend it enough, but it's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure. The Horror Vision did a spoiler-free review:

We're only two weeks into the year and I already have one film I feel pretty strongly about as far as a "Best of 2026." Always a good sign.

Card:

Setting aside Jonathan Grimm's Hand of Doom Tarot 9which you can buy HERE) to work with Thoth for today's card.

Control desires. Or maybe, don't control them? I think one of the things I've taken away from this card over the years is a juxtaposition with Chaos Magick's edict not to let the lust of result hamper the chances of achieving what you want. This is pertinent in everything, although I didn't have anything specific in mind at the time I drew, so I'll be reflecting on this card all day today.

David Bowie on the Making of Outside

10 years ago today. 

As the years have gone on, 1995's Outside has become one of my favorite albums, period, Bowie or not. Raiding the David Bowie YouTube channel over the last few days, I've found some gold.

Watch:

This is how you market a Horror movie!

A24's Undertone already has some praise, but personally, I don't want to know anything else about this one until I have my arse in a seat at the theatre.

Card:

From Jonathan Grimm's Hand of Doom Tarot, which you can buy HERE.

• XIII: Death

• XVIII: The Moon

• Two of Wands

Sacrifices made in the full knowledge of the desire. Two is stronger than one. 

Cryptic, but I think I get it. Not discussing it "out loud" at this time, but I think this pertains to a creative project I want to do this year. I think I need to declare it. 

Tony Visconti on the Making of Blackstar

I thought I'd try and do a little something different this year and post some non-music videos for David Bowie week. Here's legendary Producer and David's long-time collaborator Tony Visconti talking about the making of Blackstar.
