“Send me your tithes, Guardian!”
Wilted Pages is releasing today! I‘m so excited to receive my copy soon
Monday, it’s gloomy outside and the trains are packed. Let’s start the week right: open.spotify.com/track/4VWbPQ...
I can think of a few, maybe Mieville?
My post just stemmed from the usual Sunday evening frustration that it sometimes feels like it needs a Lovecraftian entity to bring about the end of capitalism
Lovecraft, being tortured in hell, ends up writing about Cthulhu delivering the end of Capitalism, but killing half the planet while doing so
Yesterday’s banger about BTF, over at X:
Them, every day: *thinking about the Roman Empire*
Me, every day: *thinking about the Battle of Crecy*
The urge to leave this party early, like Thomas and Delphine when dining in the halls of Avignon.
Funnily enough, it was this New Yorker article that introduced me to Hailey Whitters: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Kelefa Sanneh can articulate way better than me what her place in the industry is, how this came to be and what role country radios plays in this equation.
My fav of hers is definitely Everything She Ain’t: youtu.be/miC3hoAaqKc
“The whiskey in your soda, the lime to your Corona
Shotgun in your Tacoma, the Audrey to your Hank
She's got a little style and a Hollywood smile
But believe me, honey, (..)
I'm everything she is and everything she ain't.”
Devil Always Made Me Think Twice, performed by Hailey Whitters: youtu.be/sbFMn0GP8Lg
Someday I'm goin' six feet under
And Lord, when I'm standin' at the gate
They'll tally my sins, they won't let me in
Say "Girl, you're just a little too late"
"Yeah, girl, you're just a little too late"
When I was a kid, we used to sing this beautiful song in mass (May the Road bring us together), which is based upon this saying. In it, however, it says:
“Be in heaven for over forty years / Before the devil knows you are already dead.”
Germans, apparently, need a bit longer up there.
Just remembered DC’s Swamp Thing and the fact I‘ve never actually watched it. Trailer looks like fun tbh
