'she has taken his hand' (the revenge of vera gemini)

good morning (grey morning). horsemouth is alive and well and living in ________. 

horsemouth was delighted to find a whole silent movie (dementia (1955) directed by john parker) sound tracked with early (near b&w) blue oyster cult (ok ok there's a couple of tracks from agents of fortune in there). it's a rough old life for our un-named heroine on skid row, alcoholics, grabby bullying men, procurers, fortunately she has a flick-knife to defend herself with.

in the evening horsemouth attended (via zoom) a meeting of the communal endeavour. it all went more smoothly than he imagined it going, an attempt to roll back a vote was defeated. 

later he watched loads of videos by modern metal band ghost (not to be confused with japanese semi-improv band ghost). who play nicely with genre conventions between 80ies metal and black metal and clearly have a budget. they had been suggested to horsemouth as a kind of modern equivalent to the blue oyster cult in that it is both poppy and creepy. 

 

horsemouth spent some time yesterday singing through the revenge of vera gemini. (the albert part) it has one of those nice diminished chords and a horses  referencing chorus. 

he also found a great song by singer tina and poet david meltzer (actually another east-coaster) let the door stay open which has a kind of magic incantatory part to it (hmmm doubletracked vocals). he thinks that may make it on to his next mixcloud compilation, he thinks it would go well with ennio morricone's macchie solari. 

today? more walking. horsemouth's cough seems to be improving (but he did throw up last time he went for a walk). more reading. further consideration of the question are book collectors crazy?

should horsemouth need to take public transport or go into a shop (or any crowded area) he will continue to wear a mask.
