The far-Left is devastating Portland. Its childless hipster residents couldn’t care less The political establishment is up in arms about Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard. But the progressive city had it coming

Anyone have access to this? Is it satire?

Calling all American folklorists, pop culture critics, historians, and artists! Please take a look at the call for proposals for Crossroads, a magazine dedicated exclusively to folk horror in the United States. Our first issue will be dedicated to the 1970s.

A junk shop roll of found photos so old the text from the backing paper has etched in over the years. Kodacolor II was made from 1973 to the early 80s and the clothes/space-age garden furniture seem to say 70s. Transmissions from a lost world.

I’ve got so many gigs coming up; if I had an agent they’d be looking at upwards of Β£20/month right now.

Great thread covering what I'd have mentioned but I'd add Bridget Hayden & the Apparitions - Cold Blows the Rain as genuinely brilliant contemporary folk-rock.
