"I don’t know why guitar playing is considered a masculine art, except it’s just been appropriated that way. It doesn’t require any great strength or some male brain pattern. In fact, it’s sort of feminine." - Poison Ivy #BOTD Poison Ivy, Lux Interior, Candy Del Mar, Nick Knox: THE CRAMPS

“My music is fictional. But it’s based on different ethnic sounds and instruments. It was all sort of make believe...affectionate. It’s what people think the islands might be like.” -Martin Denny #BOTD

Three picture discs, I always liked the idea of the vinyl album as a physical medium and the idea of using the format as an additional artistic medium always fascinated me. #VaginaDentataOrgan #JoeColeman #TextofLight #blastfirst #art #records #music @elementsarchive.bsky.social

Google removing dates such as Black History Month from their calendar is the perfect illustration of why you should support physical media. Do you want to outsource your books, films and music to people that can erase things at a whim? Buy books. Buy physical media.

Three more credits that caught my imagination #Swans Cop that has two credits for “tapes”, #CabaretVoltaire Red Mecca with a credit for “tape recorder”, and #EinsturzendeNeubauten with #LydiaLunch and #Rowland with a credit for “fleisch” (meat).

l always love credits for “tapes” on covers, today I pulled this album out, which I’ve owned for more than 4 decades, love these: “hollow metal object” “switching off the studio”. Reading these (& other) liner notes changed the way I thought about sound as a teenager. #mute #einsturzendeneubauten

The marginal details of the David Lynch memorial at the Burbank Bob’s Big Boy are what make it.

This is a beautiful tribute.
kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

Eraserhead changed my young brain, expanding my idea of cinema and the possibilities of art. Alternative Tentacles released the soundtrack and I remember listening to it, immersed in its layers. 1/3

I purchased CDs and records this year, listened to a lot of music. And today I got a live version of Grotesque After The Gramme by The Fall. I’ll buy more music before the year ends. I got them from local record shops. #music #physicalmedia #independentrecordshop#supportwhatyoulove

Going through my archive yesterday I found a notebook from 95 / 96, while I wrote Naked Lens, notes and quotes from publications read in the library. The importance of the library as a resource, as well as a quiet place to work, is essential. #archive #writing #libraries #books

….coming in low, the fields around Heathrow, a village church, tendrils of roads, the punctuation of cars on the motorway, industrial shed and a glimpse at a small mountain of metal rubbish, the runway ahead visible on the seat monitor. this is Ballardian country. the wheels kiss the tarmac.
