21. Hour of the Wolf
Movie poster for Ingmar Bergman's Hour of the Wolf. A black and white image of Max von Sydow with his hands around a nude woman on a stretcher. The tagline: "'The Hour of the Wolf' is the hour between night and dawn. It is the hour when most people die, when sleep is deepest, when nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their deepest fear, when ghosts and demons are most powerful. 'The Hour of the Wolf' is also the hour when most children are born."

The last four albums I listened to
Album art of Chat Pile's 'Cool World.' A photo of an overcast hillside, an intersection and urban sprawl at the right edge, a large crucifix over the horizon. Album art for Magdalena Bay's 'Imaginal Disk.' Singer Mica Tenenbaum looks up at a glowing silver claw, which inserts a CD into her forehead. Album art for Heartworms' 'Glutton for Punishment.' Art is a black paint background with a thick white brushstroke in the center. A circle around an asterisk is drawn on the white. Album art for Squid's 'Cowards.' A close-up shot of a scorpion's stinger held between a person's fingers.
