In addition to promoting the endlessly charming Colonel Kurtz in an earlier post, I'd like to do the same for the film recommendation page of the man behind the power electronics powerhouse known as Deathpile, Jonathan Canady. Anomalous Cinema is thoughtful, accessible, and diverse, so check it out ...

From Kurtz's Twitter:

"Livestream tonight on my channel at 9 EST for an hour or so to discuss all the recent big news & my conversation with Ashley Smithline on @PopcornedPlanet . Will answer questions on the #MarilynManson stuff and other things you want to ask."

Aside from her dead eyes, Evan Rachel Wood's pretty hot, and given that she was interesting enough to inspire not just one, but two whole Manson albums, you might be onto something...

Colonel Kurtz is a woman who, in her own words, "make[s] videos on pop culture, celeb controversy, and philosophy." Her main project, however, is the craziness surrounding Marilyn Manson, and she's been at it right from the beginning. Whether you think the man's innocent or guilty, or you ...

I was really obsessed with Prurient for a while, but then I started to sense something emotionally artificial in the project. It's like he tries too hard to express certain emotions, and the consequence is that he ends up expressing caricatures of those emotions. I find that art is more emotionally ...

Three cool noise artworks from the past year: The Rita's Lake Depths Lurker (reissue) - a thoughtful cover that tells you all you need to know, both about the content of the release and the new context provided to it by the Rita's current immersion in ballet. I'd prefer a less visually dark and grai...

My first experience with the Rita was The Princesses , and that's probably still my favourite of his releases, as some of the frequencies remind me of the brittle clicks and crunches of glass or ice splitting. If I remember correctly, I didn't even flick through the album before buying it, as I usua...

Despite the title, there's a striking submissiveness present in Homicidal . It's not that it's apologetic, but that it's quietly self-devastated. Take, for instance, the lyrics of "To Play": "I really hope that you like this game." Marco's not taking "no" for an answer,...

Thanks for reading.

No, no, sorry about the confusion. I just mean that I don't have whatever it is that vinyl is played on, so everything I listen to is downloaded off the internet or ripped from a CD.

Interesting, I haven't heard that one. I'm an audio quality obsessive and have only listened to material I can find at 320kbps. But yes, for sure, there's no one quite like that dude.

Okay, one more. Up until I heard this album, I'd never been particularly impressed by Burial Hex, so Gauze took me completely by surprise. The craziest thing about it is that it sounds exactly like Coil, and yet it doesn't come across as plagiarised in any way. It's as though one project inherited t...

Iron Fist of the Sun's best (and final) album knows both precisely what it wants and the perilous, improbable journey toward that. Family Survival Strategy is absolutely submerged in an atmosphere of unbearable Gothic obligations and futile nobility. There are worried high frequencies here, and low ...

This is an album with a great deal of replay value. It represents the convergence of the two aesthetics explored on Climax Denial's two previous releases, the steel-wool-as-sticky-tape harsh noise of Asexual Electricity and the overwhelming, dread-saturated power electronics of Confessional . The fi...
