One of my favorite bands back in 1989 was the Insect Chandelier. They were one of the handful of bands here in Hammond, LA that would play one of the only bars that featured original music, Mariner’s Inn, usually on Thursday nights. The song is a little older, perhaps ’87 or ’88. Damien’s mucking about on Facebook now, slowly trawling the music that he loves from the ’80s, but i also hear now that the main riff is a vague echo of the Who’s “A Legal Matter.”
It makes more sense now.
Norman Thomas di Giovanni’s newish blog.
Pay attention, as it seems he will be publishing what would be the Millennium Borges. This is extraordinary news.
Thank you to b__d.
Jodorowsky and Roland Topor both visible in the video. NSFW- bare breasts and buttocks.

Apologies to all, but I always was a big Damned fan. And you don’t see this every day.
As a few other people pointed out, a figurine of a horse does not make a strong case for their domestication, especially at 9,000 ago. If one means by “roots of domestication” by possibly hunting them for food, maybe. What other evidence do they have? Nonetheless, the al-Maqar culture of the Arabian peninsula will be worth keeping an eye on.
The only Republican presidential candidate who openly professes to accepting that evolution and global warming are proven facts also declares himself a Captain Beefheart fan. Jon Huntsman, please don’t drop out of the race. I have no intention of voting for a Republican candidate, but i’m liking the cut of your jib.
Update: wait a minute…. Huntsman, you devilish panderer! REO Speedwagon and Styx too?! I’m wounded, sir. How dare you reach out to Beefheart fans!
Fluxtumblr linked the Rolling Stone interview/profile of Grant Morrison, but what’s better is that Matthew mentions some of the material that seems to be left out of over 100 pages of interview transcripts.
Honest criticism of Mark Millar? I don’t really want Morrison to bash Millar, but the way that Morrison wrote so glowingly of Millar in Supergods was too much. At least he’s conscious of his friend’s flaws.
Weirder, was what Matthew mentioned about Morrison, Meltzer, Identity Crisis, and rape in comics… very strange observation there. Again, in Supergods, i don’t recall any words Morrison had for Identity Crisis but praise.
