“Your wife is dead, your son your enemy, your daughter far from you. Has rulership of the Earth made you happy?” Hello my beauties, how are you today? 🥀 We are so happy to announce that the sixth in our series of 'Best Of Season 1' mixes has finally manifested from the depths vicious, vampiric, and smeared in black paint. An hour of indulgent underground goth rock lies ahead, if you dare proceed... Lose yourself within the astral plane painted by artists such as Radio Werewolf, The Naked and The Dead, Cipher, and more with this carefully curated genre-focused enigma! 🔮 Listen here! Image from Algol: Tragedy of Power (1920) directed by Hans Werckmeister

one of these days i'm writing some kind of essay about lost media and humanity's need to solve loose ends. people only care about it because its lost. people only know its lost because somebody cared about it. it's such an achingly beautiful concept. it's such a horrifying fate. it's about mortality and the traitor that is memory and about love. its about the human spirit and a new kind of folklore. all forms of media preservation are a race against the deprecation and physical decomposition of their storage medium. i hope there's a heaven for art.

#my posts #and i hope warner brothers execs never get to see its warm light #This post has been edited 5 times to add or change its wording. It’s original form is lost now too. Creation is an obligate carnivore #anyway id title it ''the lost the liminal and the scavenger hunt''#anyway im just thinkin thoughts #just watched a video about anime piracy and am feeling some kind of way again #GNU infinity train and every obscure out of print thing #also i just wanna play glyder 2 again you guys...#the other one that destroyed me is jacob geller how can we bear to throw anything away #also apparently people found that 80s song everyone was going insane about? and its the funniest possible ending?#i love how in humanity's indomitable spirit there is also inevitably the indescribably absurd and horny. i would have it no other way.

higuruma's favorite way to unwind is to put on some of his old records and kick back on his flea market sofa with a bottle of scotch and his cat in his lap and slippers on his feet.

#he likes obscure 70's and 80's stuff #his cat is fat and long haired and lazy and moody and hates everyone except her owner

“And so, Ivan the Terrible, believing he had been poisoned, went mad and kept turning the hourglass to the end of his days...” Hello my beauties, how are you today? 🥀 We are so happy to announce that the seventh in our series of 'Best Of Season 1' mixes has finally manifested from the depths as a gory, gritty, and danceably abrasive ooze. This weekend we’ve brought together an odd fifty minute mix of punk, industrial, and EBM to truly embrace your inner slime to! Lose yourself within the astral plane painted by artists such as Peace Corpse, Moral Lepers, Vita Noctis, and more with this carefully curated genre-focused enigma! 🔮 Listen here! Image from Waxworks (1924) directed by Paul Leni
