Królówczana Smuga is one of my favorite new discoveries in recent memory and I could not be more excited to hear his new record.

"If I cast my eyes before me, what an

Infinite space in which I do not exist;

And if I look behind me, what a terrible

Procession of years in which I do not

Exist, and how little space I occupy in

This vast abyss of time..."

This is a growing playlist and mostly an attempt to get back into the habit of writing regularly. I don't know if I will find an audience but it would thrill me to stumble into a community of feverish writers who happen to be into the darker realms of music/art/fashion.

I accept that compared to most everyone here I am ancient and might be susceptible to being labeled "out of touch". Certainly youth Culture confuses and baffles me but only in the sense that I perceive it as a challenge albeit a highly distracted one. There are certain things that I will never bother trying to understand because the generational divide is just too vast. Now, Generation X were born roughly from 1965 to 1980 which means they were too young to be trad Goths or Punks but might have caught the death throes of Punk if they were precocious and unruly. They existed for certain in various contingents across the globe with their precious Ari Up sticker collections and Barking Metaphor 7 " pile. The difference between them and most of you was that their music consumption was mostly deliberate. The key songs were purchased or exchanged or perhaps heard in clubs or on very specific radio programs.

St. Nicholas lounging (poetically) in his lair.

Survival is not guaranteed let alone any type of recognition for your talent or your pain or your ideas. Most people are not recognized for anything they have done, said, thought, or preserved. We are not useful in this way and our lives remain a series of meaningless gestures that do not impact the structured lives of the general taint who are busy suffering anonymously for no cause and no care. Of course, in our minds we are all blisteringly important and exciting and vital which means we are terribly delusional and histrionic to a fault.

That one friend who introduced you to all the music as she gazes outward at something only she can see.

The key is to reach the destitute, the desperate, the scarred and scared in such a way that they feel obligated to fuel our fancies with their hard won dinero. Get them to pay us for something they did not even know they needed until it was too late to back down. Yet we fail because we haven't talent enough to rise above the mediocre and risible which means we do not actualize our aspirations. Subsequently, we have nothing to sell them and cannot even reflect their fragmented desires back at them.

Fortune smiles upon the very few who demonstrate a viable service that others are mesmerized by and this service provides a Satanic demon-stration that becomes impossible to ignore or withstand. Fast music, fast food, fast fashion all whipped up to feed the relentless, churning appetite of the perpetually bored and restless.

Do not listen to those who insist that you can do anything you set your mind to because this is one of the most pernicious lies and should not be heeded. You simply cannot be a popstar or a professional athlete or a nuclear physicist just because you really want to. Only incredibly special individuals are able to do the type of things the rest of us can merely gawk at. Or, perhaps it is different today where Fame does not carry the same meaning it did in previous eras. Music does seem extremely easy to make these days but that just might be because everyone has access to technology that requires very little musicality to operate.

The Piano may be decrepit but its Music still Haunts Me.

Nobody has to spend years becoming proficient on an instrument or even forgo a serious study by simply jumping up on a stage caterwauling, making a tremendous racket. That was thing in 1976, natch. But the refuse of those times are relegated to the dustbins of history but that does not mean they were not important at the time. I was not there but there was everywhere for a while--people just didn't know it because they couldn't see it. Still, each lousy town had its share of Teenaged jerks whose ideologies and hair and fashion gave the regulars stuff frights. Certain places produced more of these creatures and some of these began to express the venom musically. Anger, violence, smashing every pretty thing for the sheer thrill of it until some others, inspired by the Victorian age and 19th century poets and bondage and lace and the Church started drinking absinthe and masquerading about in clubs and bedrooms so that an entire way of existing developed into a military existence. Gothic interludes became an expression of severity and tyranny which ultimately led to massive hairspray bills and a seeming dearth of good humour. Why smile? Laughing is for imbeciles?

The 1980s are so distant from you. I was your age in 1987 which is as far removed from you as 1950 was from me back then. Of course technology has accelerated everything so a fair comparison is categorically impossible. Still, I don't expect any child of this age to fully comprehend a Time so distant from them in every conceivable way. It is always a miracle when I read a playlist or something similar from a younger sort of person that seems to reflect a keen awareness of post-punk, new wave, goth, etc. They are the rarest ones who I cherish even though they remain mostly spectres tormenting my imagination. Admittedly they are always difficult to fully apprehend and impossible to decipher. Mystery is their preferred state and they aren't in my town presently so I go on begging.

The perennial, elusive Scott W.

It is true that we despise you for your youth because your lives are a perpetual circus of furious jumping. Certainly, some of you are anguished routinely and this should never be because the Young should not be burdened by a world that their elders have nearly ruined but that's the way it is. Joy is wasted on the young who are provided with the genuine treasure of experiencing phenomena for the first time. If they lack the capacity for wonderment everything they encounter will simply fail to elicit any type of response out of them. Most people are precisely this way in that they constantly look yet never see. You get old. It sneaks up on you and time moves faster as you age. I am 53. It seems like yesterday I was 17 and first getting into Skinny Puppy and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult. It still freaks me to think I am old enough to be the grandfather of most of you. What a paralyzing and preposterous proposition.

I started working on fantasy post-apocalyptic tabletop RPG in this vibe

the work title for now: "Myths of Crumbling Concrete"

From previous posts: Ayling, Angel Executioner and Demon are from the same setting. It's pretty early in production, I hope that something will come out of it.

thinking of referencing the whole "is Keanu Reeves immortal?" thing in my novels

#in short my idea is ''a shapeshifter who can only do one face meets a movie buff from the year 3000 who's seen that face in bill and ted'' #the long answer involves the shotant from tenesoir memoirs - living shadows who can read minds and meld together to form tangible things #the thing is shotant law forbids taking human form (the result of a complicated and sometimes violent history between human and shotant) #violators are cut off from the shotant hivemind forever which severely limits their powers #such folk will often go on living as humans--but ARE they human? or shotant? or something else? they're still immortal telepaths you see #so maybe keanu and these guys in these old portraits aren't shotant--but maybe a shotant does carry on the look past the apocalypse #so it's sort of a coincidence that this shotant happens to pick a form that someone far in the future recognizes #(and only because of her special interest in pre-apocalyptic movies) #lyla the movie buff is expecting keanu to be a highlander or smth but her nosing around still leads her to learn about the shotant
