Dancing out in the garden in the middle of the night
I had no idea there was a video for Concrete Blonde's "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)" (1990). Does anyone know who's playing the vampire? He looks naggingly familiar to me, but there are a lot of sharp-faced actors in the world. His hair makes me think of Len Cariou's Sweeney Todd, which is thematically appropriate, but not very helpful.
My poems "Sedna" and "Kaddish for a Dybbuk," originally published in Mythic Delirium #6 and #9, will be reprinted in Mythic Delirium #30, the final print issue. It is a retrospective of the first twenty-five issues and the table of contents is very weird for me to look at, because I recognize all but the first two poems from their original contexts. I was in college when both of mine were written: "Sedna" was one of my earliest publishable poems, written in the spring of my sophomore year at Brandeis; "Kaddish for a Dybbuk" in the fall of my senior year, strongly influenced by Phyllis Gotlieb's poetry and the growing involvement in Jewish life that marked that semester. Over ten years ago. That time feels like it belonged to someone else, but I keep reminding myself it was me. I do not need to be any more of a ghost in my own life than time makes happen for everyone.

It is rare to see people with profiles that can be genuinely described as "blade-like," but he achieved it. I just can't find any information about the video on the internet at all. "Joey," I am informed it's a myth that Johnny Depp appears in it. "Bloodletting," mystifyingly nothing.
But yeah, I don't think I ever saw that video!
I would totally have included it in my music video post. I like the version of the song they're performing, too. It's the rare case of a video edit where I don't feel like the song itself has been shortchanged.
I liked the decaying tabletop spread
(I was not expecting the rabbits, I have to say.)
and the implication that Johnette Napolitano's guitarist was also a vampire, since he definitely turned up in the flashback portions, watching disapprovingly as vampire-guy bit her and (one assumes) made her over.
Yes! That one death-glare: oh, you? I had to watch it again to make sure it was him.
I hadn't seen the video for "Heal It Up," either. It's not as narrative, but I really like it. Probably because I am ridiculously fond of the song, though. I should tell Caitlín that Johnette Napolitano reminds me of her. I'd never seen her before these videos.
