New Deafheaven EP uses the same numbers station thing as the Wilco album, so if you’ve ever wanted to hear more international call signs, well, you could have done that at any point really, but also now on the Deafheaven EP.

It's been a while but I found a lot of his judgments grating. Even when I agreed with him - yes, Stalinism is bad! - but I found it hard to take coming from someone who had vocally supported things like the invasion of Iraq. And yes, very male and very white.

I haven't heard of this either. Wtf.

Watching Bathurst and cracking myself up remembering this classic

An image posted on Facebook that shows Peter Brock as the driver across the River Styx, picking up Elizabeth II after she died. He asks her “need a lift?” She replies “take me to my husband please”. The poster adds “remembering both on this fateful day 8/9”

My signature song at karaoke: Blue Öyster Cult's "Dominance and Submission" but I only do the funny "radios appear" part.

Short thread of a kind of song I especially like, where the lyrics are a sort of flowing, unpunctuated, breathless but rhythmic stream-of-consciousness. Robyn Hitchcock, "Unsettled"

The only other of his I've read is The Snow Leopard. I have his Shadow Country, which is an enormous reworking of three of his earlier novels. Meant to be great, but it is a brick.

Hell yeah Far Tortuga. And many others on your list, but that’s one I don’t see mentioned often, or at all. Great book.

I'm proud of my three collections of ghost stories and weird fiction, not least because together they've apparently created a sense of what Newmanesque might mean. Get them here: www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Ray-N...

Municipal Gothic (black, yellow, brutalist tower block); Intervals of Darkness (black, red, illustration of a mysterious void); Thin Places in Hard Concrete (pink and pale blue, floating brutalist staircase). There books, 37 stories.

Went around knocking on doors at every house within a three block radius to tell the owners I didn’t want to see any Halloween decorations on their lawn scarier than a 7/10. I told them I was having a rough year and can’t handle any jolts. Subdued atmospheric pieces are OK but nothing that’ll jolt.

This is sitting by the street in Florence, CO. I understand that if you stand in the right spot, it will tie your shoes for you.

This is an antique cable-tool drilling rig, also known as a spudder rig, which were used from the late 1800s through the 1930s for drilling water wells and early oil exploration.

Don Dokken: yeah that sounds fine, fax me the contracts when they’re finalised. Any other business? Attorney [strumming guitar]: did I ever tell you the story of the little boy who dreamed of stardom but whose parents made him go to law school?

The classic Dokken line-up consisted of founder Don Dokken on vocals, George Lynch on lead guitar,
Mick Brown on drums and Jeff Pilson, who replaced the Ratt-bound Juan Croucier in 1983, on bass; this line-up remained stable from 1983 to
1989, and again from 1993 to 1998,
[11] and briefly reunited in 2016. 12] After several personnel changes on guitar, Dokken's attorney Jon Levin
stepped in to fill the role in 2004.
