I have no idea what he planned to do with it. Anyway, back in the Cave of Work and Fretting, so probably no more photos for a while (though the almost relentless rain and by now early darkness have made daily-walk photography challenging at best, and Salem generally prefers not to be photographed).
On walk. I just saw an old man with a stake.

Day five of the #HooklandChristmasTree decoration and the Star Wraith haunts a branch. The hooded figurine, face and body made from constellations of enamelled stars, seems to float more than dangle. Oddly, the stars seem to have shifted position each time you look closely at it.

A christmas EP for a good cause that does not suck.
"snow through frosted glass" is the best one, with a pulsating beat underneath a spoken word story about the weather in general and the white stuff in particular.

There's much to be said for a final meeting of a seminar group (which I will miss so much) where a quote from Conrad reminds you of this song, which I did tell my students about: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_vp...

Don't know if you'd be interested in a bit of work on Saturday 1st July, they're booking people to roam around in wild animal costumes uptown.

How can you resist an album with titles such as "The Erik Satie Toga Party" and "Occasionally Mordred"? I am delighted it exists.
Avant-garde musician Colin Robinson has made the 50th album of his one-man project Jumble Hole Clough a greatest hits one, 25 Odd Songs. The unitiated should set aside 90 minutes and let the album play as a whole.

A favourite. I was just thinking of his lovely performance as Albin Grau in Shadow of the Vampire earlier today. Reliably superb. 🖤
Oh, man. One of cinema's most reliable weirdos, and I mean that in a highly complimentary fashion. RIP.

Probably no new photos today; the relative silence will continue as the work-related to do list just grows and grows, and the novel-revision impetus I recently found again diminishes correspondingly. (And frankly I don't think the novel is anything anyone would want in a vampire novel.)

Absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of Mani. It’s hard to overstate what a massive impact the Roses had on my formative years and beyond. I could talk about it for hours, but this isn’t the time or place. Rest in peace Mani.
