I tried to summon the Sea Leviathan to consume you all 25 years ago and now finally we're getting somewhere. Come on in. The water's lovely.

Heard the sad news about Sly Dunbar on the school run of all places. I don’t even really know where to start with his immeasurable contribution to music and, well, everything, but watching him at work is best.

Here’s Sly and Robbie in action with Black Uhuru at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park in 1981

As I wait for the oncoming winter storm to hit Atlanta, here's a haunting swing tune by Ken Snakehips Johnson. Snakehips was a Black swing band leader in 1930s London who died on stage at the Cafe de Paris during the Blitz and his ghost is said to haunt the building.

I made myself a Martini and a frozen pizza instead of going to Karate, and I feel quite guilty about that, but some nights you need to serve Mars and some nights you need to serve Dionysus (who was the deity of weeknight drinking and frozen pizzas).

Have been rediscovering some of my vinyl LPs since setting up the turntable the other week. This and the record that it's on and Elenco generally are so great.

Time-traveling back to the 00s to do a "hauntology" blog post about a future where all social media platforms are mind control psyops ran by global fascism, but you will still use them anyway to chat around the psyop about occultism with the friends you made on other now-defunct mind control psyops.

Cooper Howard's retro futurist apartment in Fallout has the same 70s stone fireplace that we have, except he has it as walls rather than as a fireplace in a sunken lounge, which means my environment is in fact *more* absurdly mid-century modern than Fallout's cartoon vision of a space age pad.

Turntable set up for the first time since before the pandemic. All stereo components and the units they are on were first given a spiritual bath (or technically a wipe down with a damp cloth) of basil, holy water and salt.

Have to say those photos of the surviving members of the Stone Roses as pall-bearers carrying Mani's coffin painted by John Squire to look like a Stone Roses record cover is some fittingly portentous symbolism to end 20-fucking-25 on.

I should probably just recuse myself from conversations about easy starting practices in occultism, given that my version of a "starting practice" was trying to get myself possessed by the Great Old Ones after joining a Lovecraftian chaos magic group without having previously read any H.P. Lovecraft

Back when I was writing a substack I collated together the various writing I did over the years on Christmas and its mysteries. It also has the links to all of my many mixes of Xmas music at the end.

When I see the term "TikTokers" I still read it as if Tik is some weird new synthetic drug like something out of William Gibson and TikTokers are the people who smoke it.

For years - decades - I thought the bit where Brenda Lee sings "he'll say are you married, I'll say no man, but you can do the job while you're in town" meant that she was gonna fuck the snowman.
