Marbles "Forgive and Forget" [1977]
YouTube video by Perry Amberson Marbles "Forgive and Forget" [1977]

Was watching the great Urgh! A Music War which led me to a great Klaus Nomi documentary (The Nomi Song) which led me to this great power pop gem by The Marbles called "Forgive and Forget" (which led me to pick up the guitar and work out the great riff): www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnze...

Play, by Martin Harris from the album Circular Logic

Was looking at my Bandcamp page and clicked the link to share a track. Suggested text is "omg best track ever" lol. This one is called "Play" and is the first song on the LP titled "Circular Logic." Cover boy is my little brother Joe, circa 1971 or so. martinharris.bandcamp.com/track/play

Just to be safe, I never operate my air compressor if there are *any* fish nearby.

Hey folks... thanks for following! Planning to start posting here soon, but meanwhile if you like politically-minded, “us-versus-them”-type horror SF, there’s a Black Friday sale today over at Routledge which means 25% off on “Horror and Science Fiction Cinema and Society.”

On the left, the cover of the book "Horror and Science Fiction Cinema and Society: American Culture and Politics in the Cold War and After Through the Projector Lens," showing a heavily shadowed figure hiding behind curtains. On the right, a still from the film THE HIDDEN in which a female stripper dressed in red tube dress (and harboring an unseen alien) mows down victims with a machine gun.

It's time we talk about *real* American issues: Racism. Sexism. Giant ants. Sneaky aliens who hide inside strippers. @martinharris.bsky.social writes about all manner of politically-tinged sci-fi in "Horror & Science Fiction Cinema & Society," new #Routledge #horror
