The Psycho Legacy documentary.
terrance malick’s Tree of Life.

Double fisting Soul Train line dance vids.
A new Grinderman? Sweet. Can they top No Pussy Blues?

In a fit of nostalgia, I watched an old VHS of Akira the other night, which then inspired me to download the OST. I’ve been listening to it off and on all weekend. It’s actually very decent writing music.
new Agalloch forthcoming on Profound Lore!
and word re: that Salem record
I just wrote something about witch house. How apposite. http://voorface.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/what-witchery-is-this/

yes!
Warpaint’s album (coming out on… who knows?) and Dennis Cooper’s “Smothered in Hugs”!
Criterion discs of Antichrist and Hausu, both of which I think are out in October.
yes!
Flying to Seattle in a couple days and having 6 hours of peace and to read Eugene Marten’s Firework. It’s been sitting on my shelf forever.

Ariel Pink’s new album.
yes to that. can’t wait.
Those Salem guys apparently do tons of drugs and fuck each other about 70% of the time.
Amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IOX3LQbwdw

Can’t wait to see Winer’s Bone. Ozarks on the big screen. Excited, and maybe a little frightened.
Winter’s Bone. Jeebus.

It’s good, very good.
actually the first rule of writing anything ever is don’t use that fucking fight club cliche or i will not bother finishing said text
somehow i doubt heather is getting it on with john & jack. john & jack aren’t even getting it on. they are not fucking each other.
i am excited to be excited about something again. new tony duvert in translation maybe? i’m hoping edmond jabes fills a void of newness that’s been missing for a while. maybe something else french that i haven’t heard of.

sorry, “pre-lunch anger at my 7:30-5:30 office job”
Damn.
It seems like your analysis is pretty good, voorface. It seems like witch house fits pretty easily in the tradition of Gnosticism and the Occult. They’re all about “hiddenness” and “hidden knowledge” and “knowledge of the hidden.” I liked that stuff about the “unpronounceable names” and how they can’t be searched in search engines. That seems important.
Do you know Pictureplane? He’s from Denver. He seems to “have a finger on the pulse” of this dark, queer, magickal shit. He has a blog: http://plainpictures.blogspot.com/
Ariel Pink’s new album.
yes to that. can’t wait.
eeeeeww… that shit was weak. I wouldn’t fuck any of them, and that song — w/ that drum pad, too?! — whack. king night sounds like another band.

Hadn’t heard of him/it. He/it reminds me of all that mystical 90s stuff around tech and magick. In a good way!

I’m excited about the Mighty Boosh documentary JOURNEY OF THE CHILDMEN, as well as their allegedly forthcoming album.
Winter’s Bone the movie is very good, but the novel is the shit. The movie cops out and gets soft in a couple places, including with the ending, with the little sister picking up the banjo. But otherwise, quite good, with fine acting by Jennifer Lawrence (Ree) and John Hawkes (Uncle Teardrop).
Also, Portal 2.
sorry, “pre-lunch anger at my 7:30-5:30 office job”
the guy that wrote the book lives in my hometown, and we (kids I knew in highschool and stuff) were all shocked when the movie started getting praise, won that sundance award and all. all we knew was that it was based on a shitty local novel. am just now realizing how boring this story is.

Really? There’s anybody in your hometown making anything more interesting than what Daniel Woodrell is making? Hot damn, I got to there quick, because if that’s true, Brooklyn ain’t got nothing on wherever in the Ozarks you be.

forgive the lack of embedding knowledge i don’t know if this is going to work but the link’s also below, it’s worth it:
NEW JIB KIDDER, yo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm6QG74ofak
old salem, still: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IT5osf-97E
javelin’s health remix, still: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnGnGH8MAsM
obviously new emeralds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38lsQKiIF7A
old oneohtrixpointnever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3soucm9emO4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0z7_8sInzM&feature=related
but salem all day
old jib kidder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8frL7dKBfU
this all has nothing to do with forthcoming things i just got happy about salem sorry bye
this salem album is the fucking shit. wow.
It hasn’t leaked, has it?
i phrased that weird. what i meant was my own story about the author being from my town was boring. also meant to say i haven’t read the book or seen the movie, but haven’t been crazy about woodrell’s other books, so assumed it was a shitty novel too. but in general nothing exciting happens in west plains. there was a dance hall explosion once, but that’s it.
