Cosmic horror, weird fiction, continental philosophy, psychedelia in all its forms. NOTE: Saxon is to honour the late great Sky Saxon and is not a cypher for any of that Blut und Boden nonsense.

You know that feeling when you accidentally win a Dusty Springfield single on eBay for a bargain price compared to the going rate on Discogs? Haha well that what I’m feeling today. #Dusty #NorthernSoul #Spooky

Great read from the intro of Albion Dreaming which details the British experience of LSD from its early days through the 60s and 70s Not read it myself but this has certainly whetted my whistle for the book and some LSD 🤓 psychedelicpress.substack.com/p/glad-i-too...

Great interview with Richard Stanley and his “The Dunwich Horror”. Loved his adaptation of Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space so have high hopes for all his films youtu.be/_P5lO5niWHk?...

Oblique Strategies I’m shit at stats but my wife drew a card, returned it to the deck, which I shuffled, and then drew the same card. Not sure how many cards are in the deck but if 60, is the stat 1 in 60x60? So 1 in 3600?

The previous owner of my copy of Pierre Borgeaud’s book clearly had some thoughts.

I’ll never forget the time I got hold of Sky Saxon’s hand while he was singing & wouldn’t let go till I got my photo haha Or the time we got backstage in Manchester, he flirted mercilessly with our partners then got picked up by my mate and carried around in a celebratory hug haha what a guy

Working my way back in ancestry.com and now back beyond the Plantagenets to Fulk V, king of Jerusalem. Kinda half guessed from my colouring that I was a Plantagenet but it’s super-cool to have it verified

@scarfolk.bsky.social the heavy referencing of Scarfolk in Charles Stross’ latest Laundry Files novel is so apt it’s unreal.

AllMusic Staff Pick The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band Vol. 3: A Child's Guide to Good & Evil This psychedelic folk rock band has the trappings of its flower power era, and can take a few spins to attune to because of those sometimes heavy-handed production moves and political overtones.

I love the articles of the British Horror Chronicle, all produced to resemble a 1950's British Broadsheet Newspaper! britishhorrorchronicle.com/the-reign-of... #lovecraft #horror

Talking of folklore and folk horror, does anyone dig the folk-infected beauty of medievally-dressed Circulus? Another band that gets little reward for their incredible output. youtu.be/Yi7Sub9XHio?...

I love this so much. I’ve read it caused quite a stir for Noel Coward at the time so I guess a sense of humour is perhaps understandably lost a bit during war youtu.be/wveW9Tw2JKE?...
