If you head over to my Bandcamp (link in the comments) you can now get a seasonally appropriate new song, "It's Christmas All Over Again" from my forthcoming album "THE ONE TRUE PRINCE OF WALES (in exile after abdication)" which will be out next year thanks to the good people at Hurrah Música...

watched CYBORG tonight, a movie that only exists because Cannon had already sunk $2 million dollars into costumes for HE-MAN 2 and SPIDER-MAN and now couldn't make either. Pyun wrote it in a weekend and shot it in 23 days. a dude lost his eye, possibly in a shot IN the movie?

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

Get ready for 45 minutes of audio greatness. I went in not knowing anything of the story and got genuine chills from it.

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Honestly, live your fucking life like you don’t want people to argue about whether or not it’s appropriate to call out what a shithead you were once you’re dead.

Had a very successful Christmas, inasmuch as a I finally turned off Motion Smoothing on my parents’ tv so all television no longer looks like Neighbours in 1990.

RIP Jerry Kasenatz, king of Bubblegum pop. This is probably my favourite Kasenatz-Katz number. Everything about it makes me happy.

Watching “Die Hard” and my memory of it is all over the place. I thought his feet got all ripped up in the first 30 minutes as opposed to the last. I have no recall of the bit where Rickman pretends to be called Bill Clay. No memory of a Fratelli brother being a Fed.

I don't understand music. It's just rhythmic noise to me. I'm glad people enjoy it. I'm also glad I don't have 150kg of records and CDs.
