FINAL GIRL COUNTDOWN: #6 - Julie James (I Know What You Did Last Summer)
Julie represents something unique in #FinalGirl history - a survivor who actually earned her stripes TWICE.
The first film establishes Julie as a classic late-90s Final Girl. Guilt, trauma, and the Fisherman seeking revenge...

FINAL GIRL COUNTDOWN: #7 - Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street)
And here's where I'm going to piss people off. Nancy at #7.
Look, I get it. Nancy is THE blueprint. She established the rules every #FinalGirl follows. Without Nancy Thompson, this entire conversation doesn't exist... BUT -

FINAL GIRL COUNTDOWN: #8 - Erin (You're Next)
Erin revolutionized home invasion horror by asking one simple question: what if the victim was more dangerous than the killers?
#You'reNext seemed like standard fare at first - family gathering interrupted by masked killers. But...

FINAL GIRL COUNTDOWN: #9 - Ginny (Friday the 13th Part 2)
Here's my most underrated Final Girl pick, and I'm prepared to die on this hill.
Everyone remembers Alice from the first film, everyone knows Tommy Jarvis, but Ginny gets forgotten. That's criminal negligence of Final Girl history.

FINAL GIRL COUNTDOWN: #10 - Grace (Ready or Not) There's something beautifully chaotic about Grace's story. It's your wedding night - supposed to be the happiest day of your life. Instead, your new in-laws reveal they're part of a death cult that requires human sacrifice, and YOURE the sacrifice.

Nine Inch Nails' Hesitation Marks reveals the balance between control and chaos in storytelling. Sometimes, the bravest move isn't the loudest, but the quiet edit. Watch the full video on YouTube and explore the tension and silence that shapes this Upward Spiral. #HesitationMarks #NinelnchNails

The 2002 Horror/Suspense film - feardotcom - was ahead of it's time in a lot of ways, despite bombing at the box office. Stylistically, the movie was there. I can't help but wonder how much was left on the cutting room floor.
I explore this, and so much more both on the podcast & YouTube.

I don't have the movie, but I do have this...
NIИ (nine inch nails) Broken
The initial pressing of the CD contained Physical + Suck on a second 3" mini CD in a separate sleeve.
It's the tiniest little dot.

It's cold AF today. But also sunny?
So the project "Dutch" by Jedi Mind Tricks alumn, Stoupe gets a spin.
Dutch - A Bright Cold Day is a great project. I tend to think of it as if Stoupe tried to make a Portishead album for jmt fans that never heard Portishead.

Adobe who?
Here's a test run of the visuals I've been working toward developing.
The image is not mirrored digitally, it's made "in scanner" in one motion... the bit crushing however, IS post processed.
It's highly conceptual -nothing fancy yet - it's a significant POC for my work in 2025.

I often think about what a Def Jux would look like in 2024. @el-p.bsky.social

With the recent pick up of @telefontelaviv.bsky.social Map of What is Effortless, I decided to share this image I made (+ processed) from a live honeycomb in its honor..
The first is the actual album, and the second is mine..
(I just picked this up again so I'm a little stuck on it in this moment)

I feel like this is a benchmark in my physical media rebuild process. @telefontelaviv.bsky.social music is monumentally important to me, and so there's a significant energy in the house with the delivery of 'Map of What is Effortless' today. Just a few more releases to go. 🙏
