A high tide coming will eat the land
1. Have a brief mix of storm-songs, even if it mostly rained here.
The Jezabels, "Dark Storm"
But she swallowed all my love
I fell beneath the company
Now shall I sleep in a bed of blood
Down in the deep, the rolling sea
Laura Veirs, "Icebound Stream"
And I can hold a thunderhead in my heart
And in my bed I can dream a winter's gale
And wake up drenched, a stormy pale
Lisa Hannigan, "Braille"
For you I leave my light on
To do its best against the storm
And you came in like the tide
And I knew we could keep each other warm
PJ Harvey, "No Girl So Sweet"
Deep in the sky, a storm he'd seen
There ain't nothing, no girl so sweet
Universal Hall Pass, "Six-Step Dragon"
Not every butterfly pulls a hurricane from over China
2. I Cefalopodi! —Not a Lovecraftian commedia troupe, but Adolf Naef's monograph for Fauna und Flora des Golfes von Neapel und der Angrenzenden Meers-Abschitte (1921–23). Which is still cool.
3. Kim Newman on mad movie plastic surgeons. I thought at once of Arsenic and Old Lace (1944); the in-joke of Peter Lorre's Dr. Einstein drunkenly creating a literal, Universal-looking Frankenstein's monster is even cleverer than I thought.
4. Three songs by Marianne Faithfull, filmed by Derek Jarman (1979): "Broken English."
5. I really like that there's an entire website devoted to Esmond Knight.
