I’m so sorry to learn that we’re lost Marianne Faithfull. I can’t say I knew her well, but I once spent three memorable days performing and traveling with her. I just jotted down a few remarkable memories. tonefiend.com/uncategorize...

I was a teenage early music nerd. (I came THIS close to an academic musicology career.) I loved revisiting my medieval faves decades later, playing note-for-note from 14th-c. manuscripts, but using modern instruments. #medieval #medievalmusic #earlymusic #guitar

Here I’ve mostly posted about horror novels and cats. But I’m mainly a musician who also has a line of guitar pedals. I thought we’d have to discontinue my fave, the Cult Overdrive, ‘cause we couldn’t source more antique germanium transistors. But we found ‘em, and it’s in stock! 🙏 #guitarpedals #fx

@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social Absolution, fuck me! The Area X series was already my fave weird/horror fiction of the century, even more so now. Stellar literary merit, profound psychological depths, and utterly unique creepiness. Bravo squared!

Absolution, the fourth novel from @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social Area X series, is sublime weird/horror fiction. Stellar literary merit, vast psychological depth, and utterly unique crepiness. (The first Area X book inspired the film Annihilation.) Bravo squared! #horror #horrorfiction #weirdfiction

I kinda love the story in today’s Guardian about Rod Stewart’s lifelong model train obsession.

My musical colleague Ursula Blind wrote a funny song about displaying love and patience over the holidays, whether the recipients deserve it or not.
“Thanks,” by Ursula Blind
This #Thanksgiving it might be a little harder to love all our neighbors. Here’s a song about finding a few crumbs of common ground — even if it’s only #pie crumbs. #musiciansky #musicsky #indiemusic

Many posts lately on “scariest movie.” Well, Hereditary — duh! But nothing has ever terrified me like the jump scare in the original House on Haunted Hill, which I watched on TV as a kid in the 1960s. Camp today, but sheer horror then. Why is it so scary? The framing and composition, I think.
