Bankrupting Sky Banks - Exquisite Terror Remarkably talented writing from Erik Hofstatter walks a line where one can read the divine and the profane within the same sentence.

Erik Hofstatter's deft hand conjures a sensation of being sunk so deep in the midst of corruption that there is no light nor a breath of clean air.

Sana / Sana: Let Me Hear - Exquisite Terror Superb use of sound creates a constant, implicit rhythm which worms into the subconscious, transforming sound into an unseen physical entity.

T-shirt worthy, or maybe a tote bag. At the least, a badge.

Just watching Metal Lords, and I think you'll find that actuallllly the RATM song is called "Killing in the Name", not "Killing in the Name of".

Maybe that's part of the joke. I don't think it is. Yes, I am insufferable.

You weren't missing anything. I hear you on time!

You'd hope so, but given they got it in the first place... Maybe once they realised it might push people away? I definitely wouldn't touch them!

I nearly had an arm broken by one in a petting zoo as a kid (unintended pun). S/he didn't mean it, and I still love them.

I think he'd been badly attacked before. I guess the prison is bad, but I can't bring myself to care when it happens to someone like this.

What I was actually talking about the other day was someone who got a tattoo of him when it all came out, complete with 'mega lolz'. Grim.

Oh wow. I was literally talking about him two days ago. If that means I'm in any way responsible, I'm okay with that.

The Severed Sun - Exquisite Terror Mesmerising and enchanting images prove the strange, sublime, gothic folk that Britain built is still very much alive and well.

Secret Lives of the Dead - Exquisite Terror A strong tale of how humans can refuse to accept their power to actively focus on and pursue the better angels of their nature.

Finally got round to visiting Castle Cinema in Homerton today -- I'm a 20-minute walk away; shameful -- and it is just lovely. So is The Ballad of Wallis Island, my first of what will be many films there.

Pretty sure I read that in Kerrang.

Bob Vylan's drummer used to be my favourite barman, so I'm proud of them.

It feels strangely uncomfortable for an alien (yes, in a film, but still...) to tell me there'll be nuclear war in six months.

Saturnalia was just stunning all round. @raindance.org

Erik forgot to tell me he signed them, so this giveaway is now considerably more sexy.
