Man, I listened yesterday to revamped Live
& Loud recording and it's the epitome of kickassery!

That scene was just awesome, complete with that subtle martial drumming… Felt a bit like a promo for a new Rammstein video.

Yeah, the popped-out eye - classic Poe!    Oh, sorry, - classic Paul!

"A maginificent saga of salacious perversiveness, and prurient debauchery, Mike Bigelow's priapic utopia centers on the quasifreuadian fiasco enwraping a police inspector played by Jeroen Krabbé. You know. Dicrector's Mike Bigelow's Krabbé. A man whose dick …(spoilers). Krabbé has stimulated his Krabbé with…

Well, it's not very strong on plot but has many amusing digressions and a very distinctive, dry narrative style. It reminded me of Alessandro Baricco's "This Story" (WWI, human-machinery iteraction) and New-York City-based Don DeLillo's works. "Savage Detectives" by Roberto Bolano also has common themes. Yeah, and…

Just finished "The Flamethrowers" by Rachel Kushner and I'm pretty satisfied. An engaing bildungsroman tapestry with lots of muted sexiness, charming  (anti)intellectuallism and a whiff of violence boiling near.
 I also enjoyed Thomas Ruperts' latest, "Intimacy". Old-school period page-turner elevated by his unique…

Yep, "Sisters Brothers" is awesome. An amusing read with just right amount of melancholy and menace. I read it right after "Masters of Atlantis" by Charles Portis and there was an amusing connection - this delirious hope to extract treasure from crap.

Hell, Son of God is generally a paean to death and necrofilia. And Suttree  which is considered a lighthearted and humorous effort is also full of macabre visions. Amazing books both, nevertheless!

What's creepy about being afraid of orifices? Because Bob really was puzzled by holes.

Hell, I found this piece!

Goddamit- it's really interesting! In fact I remember reading that hallucinatory "story" on Genesis Live LP when I was a kid. Feels more like a Jodorowsky screenplay material.

A nice summation of Soviet stance on WWII! But 80's were completely different time to 50's and Stainist zealot stuff is pretty anachronistic. Stalin was officially condemned by Khrushchev (who was very much implicated in mass execution and other dismal stuff) back in 1956. So in 60's in 70's the official Communist…

She says give me one good reason not to empty the heart of all its zeros and ones, 
not to smash that Telecaster before it births a thousand useless slums. 
And love bit you in the throat while you were staring at the sea.
all the girls in Montreal are smashing skateboards in the street. 
And it's 4 AM, she's at your door…

Да вы тут все, наверняка, и не американцы никакие, а русские боевые карлики под прикрытием и на маленьком проценте.

Speaking of Reagan, my own first memorable impression of him was from “Land of Confusion” video, which I regarded as the most hilarious piece of high art, along with Dio’s “Last in Line”. That was probably in 1985, and I was 9. There weren’t many VHS machines in Moscow by then. And soon after seeing that MTV…

Does anyone here watch new British series "Utopia"? It's amazing! William Gibson-style conspiracy thriller with high tongue-in-cheek factor. At three episodes it's as violent as "The Following" but not near as trite and stupid. Plus a bitching soundtrack and a crazy-ass hitman from "Kill List" practically repreising…

And what is Gozu if not absolutely hysterical?

Yeah, I saw it and second your opinion. Miike really amped the weirdness to the max.
That creepy cartoon in the beginning sets the tone immediately. And I love how grandpa treats a raven - classic Poe!

Jealous of the flies and the worms inside me!

It's funny how DEP's second vocalist grudually turned into a Patton clone. A classic case of Patton infestation!
The EP with DEP was great, aside from Come to Daddy. Never thought that song needed additional fuck-uppedness.
