  1. Came across a beach by Nerja, Spain today, in the middle of nowhere that had been "closed" due to Covid. Closed in that there was an easily traversable barrier with a small sign attached. Talk about uselessness. 

  2. Jay & Silent Bob Reboot was a depressing experience. I've always had a soft spot for the world of Clerks/Jay & Silent Bob, but there was absolutely no redeeming elements in this.

    except for the grilled chicken joint being named Cock Smoker ^^

    I delivered something extremely smelly from a Japanese restaurant a couple hours ago, and somehow the smell has attached itself to me.  It was in a container, which was within a plastic bag, which I touched briefly when I was accepting it from the staff, and again when handing it to the customer.  How is this even possible?  And why would someone want it in their mouth?

    Lol, wonder if it was the same thing Karl had, or tried to have, on one of his Japan trips ^^

    i love freulaeux so much.

    This has recently become my new favourite driving track. Especially on the motorway. It makes me feel connected to all the other drivers somehow, like we're all embarking on some grand mission, moving forward in unison and weaving smoothly between lanes, towards the sunset.

  5. After reading a small collection of stories I ordered the collected fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith, which arrived today, just in time for Halloween!

    This is some fantastic weird fiction. A bit like H.P Lovecraft but with a much better command of the English language. 

    Of his own writing style, Clark Ashton Smith said: "My own conscious ideal has been to delude the reader into accepting an impossibility or series of impossibilities by means of a sort of verbal black magic, in the achievement of which I make use of prose-rhythm, metaphor, simile, tone colour, counter point and other stylistic resources, like a kind of incantation."

  6. column thirteen is one of the most beautiful things they've ever done. It's like sitting in warm summer rain and watching as the wind gently manipulates the flowers, tree branches and moves through the fields in waves. It always gives me the good shivers, calming and makes me feel effortlessly connected with my surroundings. And that's without any drugs, man ?

  7. Autechre are probably the one and only band that I have full faith in always coming up with something that I will (eventually) warm to.

    Was listening to some Exai earlier today at the beach (jatavee is such an awesome beach track!) and nodeszh always gets me into this weirdly sexual dance routine (hip thrusting to those recurring twin beats) and these tracks still sound so dam fresh (and short!) after listening to NTS. 

    I wonder if they'll continue in the elseq NTS vein or perhaps begin a new "cycle" of sorts? 

    Whatever kind of crazy maze they drop us into next, I know I'll eventually be cavorting around in it like a merry loon.

  8. Fleabag was great, but was there just a little too many shots of her looking wryly at the camera? 

    Caught up with the latest Black Mirror. Really enjoyed Striking Vipers. Great episode that had the euphoric, heady feeling I remember from watching some of the early episodes. Not too preachy or dystopian, more a fun and optimistic study of balancing a kink with normal life and making it work. 

  9. I didn't know this was a thing, Vitual Novel games? But this Doki Doki Literature Club https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doki_Doki_Literature_Club! popped up on my steam rec list. It was described as horror, not suitable for minors etc, yet it had this totally candy coated cutesy Anime look. Was surprised at how much it drew me in. You are invited by a kooky female friend to join a literature club with 3 other girls, and get to know them from a series of flirtatious conversations. You can impress them by picking words that correspond to a specific girls' personality traits when choosing words to make your own poem. It gradually gets into dark psychological territory and the ending I reached was depressing to put it mildly. I wouldn't mind trying out some more of this type of text based games, kinda nice to have a little collapsable story window to dip into now and then. Found this one which looks p interesting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Dark

  10. I remember thinking it was kind of the EP7 of that era. Bit of a mixed bag. Cep puiqMX stands out as exceptionally bonkers. The London Boys track is ear porn. As always great sounds abound, like a blend of Quaristssss and Überplopps. 6852 was the perfect culmination of this sound style.
