Nemeton – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Celtic culture, a nemeton was a sacred grove used on occasion for performing ritual animal sacrifices, and other such rituals. The grove itself might be personified as Nemetona, attested in votive and founding inscriptions. The word may be traced in th (tags: writing thoughtcloud notes) a456: The Anti-Architecture […]
Need Some Old Music
So I’m working on a comics script, and I need some music from the 1920s — partially to reference, and partially for ambiance while I’m writing. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to buy this stuff, and I think a lot of it might take some effort to track down. So does anybody have any […]
This Is The Picture
Laurie Anderson, “Excellent Birds”, from Home Of The Brave, 1984. (I also like the duet version with Peter Gabriel on his album So.) I dig this song. I’m going to steal the idea of having lights on your palms. That looks cool.

The Magnetic Fields, Distortion: Lovely goodness from Stephin Merrit & Co. Sonically very Jesus & Mary Chain, but pure Merrit in terms of songwriting.

They’re really […]
"Berlin Floor Show" and "Scarecrow" Are In The Can.
I recorded vocals last night, all hot and sweaty ’cause I had to turn off all the house fans so they didn’t register on the mics. Mixed “BFS” and “Scarecrow” tonight. I think the mixes are pretty much perfect, or as close as I’m gonna get. When I’m done with all of the songs, I’ll […]
So It's Official…
…I am officially a blogger for The Unofficial Apple Weblog. Er, that’s all.
Sigh.
So I may make the India trip, but not until August or September. I feel so fucking stupid — I’ve flown literally fifty times or more in my life, and I’ve never missed a flight before, ever. I simply misread my itinerary — I was flying from Vegas to Chicago to Delhi, and I read […]
