I'd never seen this episode of Arena focusing on Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon before. It's a very strange time capsule with reenactments, Anger cruising Hollywood in a hearse, music from Laibach and (weirdest of all) narration from Alec Baldwin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaEB...

PROPHECY AT 1420 MHZ. youtu.be/74NluS3jzTo

I've been credited a few places with doing the artwork for the Boards of Canada album- wanted to clarify I didn't do the album artwork or the VHS, just the trailer and the “Introit/Prophecy At 1420 MHz” video (so far...)

I'm not gonna be the first one to tell you about this today, but it's hard not to get excited for new Boards of Canada.The first peek into the new LP hits today along with a psych whiplash of a video from the always excellent Robert Beatty. Mark your calendars for the end of the month bit.ly/4tof8bf
