God, he thought, and felt ill. Was this what Tanya Lee had called the “aquatic horror” shape? It had no shape. Nor pseudopodia, either flesh or metal. It was, in a sense, not there at all; when he managed to look directly at it, the shape vanished; he saw through it, saw the people on [...]

According to the mechanic, another new fight club rule is that fight club will always be free. It will never cost to get in. The mechanic yells out the driver’s window into the oncoming traffic and the night wind pouring down the side of the car: “We want you, not your money.”
The mechanic yells out [...]
Very leftist, very Situationist, very brilliant. Here. I particularly like Ben Watson’s “Music, Violence, Truth” written after 9/11.
Take an eye for an eye
Take a tooth for a tooth
Just like they say in the Bible
Never leave a trace or forget a face
Of any man at the table
Any man at the table
When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
Sharp enough to draw blood from a stone
He rides through your dreams on a coach
And horses [...]
Zdecydowanie nie dla nieletnich - obrazy nie aż tak super wyjątkowe ale z takim nazwiskiem gotyckość i złowieszczość wzrasta o jakieś 57 procent. Teza: nasze odczucia względem wszelkiej maści projektów artystycznych są radykalnie kształtowane przez adekwatność (która jest w jakimś stopniu bardzo arbitralna) nazwy, tytułu czy sloganu reklamowego - a dzieje się to dokładnie podczas [...]

“A ritual includes the letting of blood. Rituals which fail in this requirement are but mock rituals.” (Cormac McCarthy)
Who wouldn’t want a good girl, a soft hand, a gentle woman for a gentleman? He said, “It’s been fine so far but after a while I want more than a soft style. I want some slashes to go with those long eyelashes.” And so the bedroom became the black room but a year later [...]
The most insane, the most radical, the most mind-boggling piece of cinematic art this side of whatever. Period. Said I.
May I ask you all for silence
The dreamer is still asleep
May the goddess keep us from single vision
And you too sleep
The dreamer is still asleep
The dreamer is still asleep
He’s inventing landscapes and the magnetic fields
Working out the means of escape
We’ll cut across the crop circles
He says no, not much time left
For these escape attempts
Look at [...]
It’s not the kind of music I listen to but I saw them live a couple of times and it was like watching Samurai warriors in preparation for attacking a village or something, it’s so intense.
