Recently I rewatched This Island Earth. This time it struck me how bleak the story really is. Planet Metaluna is already on its last legs by the time Exeter arrives to rescue it. All the aliens end up dead. 1/3

Last night's listen. 1953-54 Miles. One of my most played Lps. Had this copy for over 45 years now. Every single note is perfection, to me.

Tonight's listening...electroacoustic music from Finland on the Edition RZ label (1989). No physical copy in my hands, alas, but streamable on YouTube. Wildly impressive, especially Patrick Kosk and his "Transmissions In A". I do own a few titles on this label and their pressing quality is superbo.

A Froggy Life is Mine
Cartoon panel of a large green speckled frog reciting poetry. His recit ends with the phrase "A Froggy Life is Mine". Scholar Windy Wilberforce in the background takes note, with a thoughtful "Hmm - hmm".

Page from 'The Deadly Sea' in issue 4 of Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom. Art by Bob Fujitani. I love a good page design and this one is astonishing. Depth, movement, continuity...it's all there - underpinned by these near-abstract bold shapes. Thanks to @realmarkrez.bsky.social

Someone selling a bunch of early Fast Fiction zines from the 1980s for crazy money on eBay. I have mixed feelings...maybe it means I've "arrived" as a cartoonist! (Thanks to Paul Gravett for link)

I review this unusual sound-art record by Joseph Young. Combination of archives, history, and field recordings. Very atmospheric and likely to appeal to "hauntology" fans. (Post title refers to a completely unrelated LP by Audience) www.thesoundprojector.com/2026/04/2…
Album cover to a sound art record by Joseph Young. A faded sepia photo shows the interior of an Irish mansion from the 17th or 18th century, sometimes called a "big house".

Epson Scan stopped working for me...to be fair it has been about 14 years since I bought my scanner/printer! Tried the MS free app "Scan" for a while, but it feels sketchy. Now trying NAPS2, the free open-source thing. At least it can talk to my scanner, so that's a start.

Rewatched this movie last night - still very effective and unsettling. In 2021 I posted some short reviews of the many movies I watched during lockdown (see text image). Craven avoids zombie movie cliches and the Haiti scenes have an authentic ring. Fantastic dream sequences.
The Serpent And The Rainbow (1987)
Did not consider myself a Wes Craven fan - but this movie is intelligent and engaging. This is in spite of the far-fetched nature of the story, involving a zombie theme. Craven's approach is to take everything at face value, and at its best the movie strays into some very strange territory depicting mad dances, graveyard scenes, and voodoo magic without any editorialising. Craven quickly became known as the "nightmare guy" in Hollywood because of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, meaning he has a real knack for filming dream sequences in a convincing and disturbing manner.
