Alfred Kubin, The Sucker. 1903

I’m sure we all had one of these during Black Metal’s first wave ⚔️ 🤠

‘Diamond, the only trouble with you is, you’d like to be me. You’d like to have my organization, my influence, my fix. You can’t, it’s impossible. You think it’s money. It’s not. It’s personality. You haven’t got it. You’re a cop…’

THE BIG COMBO (1955)

dir. Joseph H. Lewis

1982 👊

The type of signs I miss on my way to the beach for a midnight fire party with someone cool strumming a guitar, and a whole 70s vibe encasing us. 😎

Fortunate to have been able to chat with Medbh McGuckian and tell her how enjoyment of her poetry has connected myself (RUC) to some with counter-narratives (PIRA) in striving towards reconciliation + mutual understanding while at the launch of her new poetry collection.

Just rewatched Suzuki’s absurdist classic, Branded to Kill. Did it influence John Wick, amongst other films?! The audience is continually wrong footed, maybe it’s all about the annihilation of the ego after all? 🤠

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social best post-punk group you never heard 🫡

to live in this world

you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go

Mary Oliver
