Post your favorite first-watches of July 🍿 Rabbit Trap & Backrooms I liked so much I rewatched them within a week, and that very rarely happens! Saloum and The Old Dark House were also excellent! #FilmSky
It is Jukebox time! For the next 12 hours there's some good music chat going on in this thread - come get involved!
Marsha@mmshere.bsky.social · 4d ago1/2 Welcome To Mystery Jukebox Kitty has the jukebox ready here on the shores of Lake Michigan. Coffee & donuts are ready. Everyone gets 2 tokens to request a song. Stay and comment. Please review her rules NO REPLIES HERE Rules: michaelgallagherwrites.com/rules/
Just finished Victor Pelevin's "The Helmet of Horror"! Part of the Canongate Myths series, it was a fast read. A group of strangers talk to each other on a chat channel, each trapped in a labyrinth, wondering when the minotaur arrives. Great philosophical novel! I want to reread soon! 🤔 #BookSky
Mystery Jukebox reminder. Kitty is back in Wisconsin, and will be allowing you to play 2 tokens. Listen and chat with our group. 5am -5pm US CDT ( 11am-11 pm UK).
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Savage House: Delightfully horrible 🧐 Caddo Lake: Puzzlebox film - go in blind! 🐊 Incident at Raven's Gate: UFOz! 🛸 Witch Hunt: LA Noir with magic 🪄 Trancers III: My time with the franchise ends here! 😆 Masters of the Universe: My inner 8 year old loved it! 🗡️
Just finished Martha Wells' "Platform Decay"! I am on an absolute roll with reading at the moment. And of course, Murderbot goes down real easy! 🤖 #BookSky
This week's albums! Manet is new-to-me doom jazz! 🖤🎷 Hypnodrone Ensemble do great droney krautrock 🪬 Ancient Methods & KAVARI bring brooding dark electro ⚡️ Rogers Sisters & Mould do different flavors of post-punk 🎸 Dinosaur L is Arthur Russell's disco project! 🪩 Jamie Lenman does fun covers! 🔀
Having a short story collection and a novel on the go at the same time means there's a chance I'll finish both on the same day! So, just finished Caleb Azumah Nelson's "Open Water". Absolutely gorgeous prose about falling in love, plus the trauma of living in a racist society... #BookSky
Just finished Clive Barker's "Books of Blood Vol. III"! I liked this more than Vol. II. Apparently one of the stories - a straight forwards monster romp called "Rawhead Rex" was turned into a dodgy looking movie in the 80s? Might have to search that out! 👹 #BookSky
Let's plan August's Jukebox hosting! @mmshere.bsky.social 1st still ok? @stillhonest.bsky.social 29th as is your custom? @mtgallagher.bsky.social @tactless-skull.bsky.social @jetboyjetgirl.bsky.social ( @rrwscott.bsky.social 😉) The 8th, 15th & 22nd are up for grabs!

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Killings at Parrish Station: Hell yeah Aussie cosmic horror! cAUSmic horror!l 🐙📖📡 Disclosure Day: Found this very disappointing 👽 Trancers II: Objectively bad, subjectively fun! 🕰️🧟 Lone Star: Enough plot for a 20 episode season of TV, expertly condensed! 🤠⭐️🔫
This week's albums! Arthur Russell, Cocteau Twins & Aspidistrafly for dreaminess 😻 Wilco, Old 97's & Bones of J.R. Jones for some alt country 🤠 Bikini Kill & Die Spitz - riot grrl old & new 🤘 Beyoncé's pretty good at what she does, eh? 👩🏽🎤 Revisting Boris & NIN 🎸 Lemon Jelly! 💦 🦆 🦆 💦 🦆 🦆 💦
Just finished Vonda N McIntyre's "The Exile Waiting". Really rather good - certainly felt fresher than most SF from 1975. Uses the same setting as "Dreamsnake", though explores different areas. Really wish she'd written more stuff in this setting! #BookSky
It's rare that I want to rewatch films soon after a 1st watch, but both of these psychedelic beauties compelled me to! 😵💫 Protagonists with tenuous grip on reality 🔊 Ego-obliterating dark ambient soundscapes 🫠 Irreality with torturous grip on protagonists #FilmSky

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Theatre of Blood: Acting ghoulish! 🎭 Backrooms: Gimme that liminal sound design 🟨 In the Mouth of Madness: Reading is fun! 📚 RIP Sam 🇳🇿 The Seventh Victim: Didn't click for me 😒 Rabbit Trap: Catnip for me! 😻 DVEwAPP:TRWGtSU&W: Cute title! 📹
This week's albums! Juliana Barwick & she's green bring the dreaminess 😻 New Wailin Storms is portentous 🪬 The Caretaker for post-Backrooms liminality 🟨 Art Blakey is effortlessly cool 😎 Carl Craig technos it up ⚡️ Free Cake For Every Creature, Romeo Void & Synergy courtesy of the Jukebox 💿
And now today I've finished Clive Barker's "Books of Blood Vol II"! As these didn't have the chance to traumatize me in my youth, I didn't find them quite as chilling as Vol I, but there was some good stuff in there, for sure. #BookSky
Just finished Cormac McCarthy's "Child of God". I wanted something lightweight, and the subject matter certainly wasn't AT ALL lightweight! 💀 Still, the prose made for a very fast read - not much punctuation to slow things down! 🚀 #BookSky
