I had a work colleague from one of those regions. when his birthday came around, he brought along Mettigel instead of cake and wondered why nobody joined him for a slice.

Fairies on film: a review of ‘Rabbit Trap’ Bryn Chainey’s Rabbit Trap (2025), which has been classified as a psychological horror film (but is in truth just a weird film) is that rare thing: a serious film about fairies. Set in Wales (altho…

I reviewed Bryn Chainey's 'Rabbit Trap' - finally, a serious film about fairies! drfrancisyoung.com/2026/04/21/f...

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

how excitement!

did you ever hear anything? real or imagined?

it seems I am a bit grumpy today.

also, cliques can fuck themselves. closed doors usually lead to echo chambers, undeserved self congratulation, and eventually toxic behaviour.

get outside your little circle jerk sometime, the fresh air will do you some good.

another day, another reminder that just because someone broadly aligns with some or all of your values, doesn't mean they aren't awful people. you probably already know some or listen to their music.

arseholes are arseholes.

Instant block. I do not want your theft-based, planet-killer writing hollowed of lived experience. Fuck off and keep on fucking off till the waves swallow you. AI always means Arseholes Involved. You will find nothing but derision and harsh curses for it in Hookland.

blep or mlem? the fans need answers.

A long time in the works, a split between myself as Greenhollow and Fourthpeak, whom you may know as Gray Friar, Magic Hilt, Forgotten Relic, etc.

Very proud of these works and humbled to share space on this release with a friend.

me whenever I open up social media

love the future where there's a cool ass moon mission and you see a cool ass picture of the moon and have to go comb through a few different nasa sites and their flickr to make sure it's a real image.. you have to act like a conspiracy theorist before believing/enjoying anything

it's really good and you need it.

sold and sold. looking forward to it!

It's worth remembering that not everyone who shares your values and ethics is a good person.

Arseholes are everywhere.

poor Smeagol, spinning towards a fiery death in nought but his skimpies

Sachiko's Seasons, by Waterboatmen 17 track album

waterboatmen.bandcamp.com/album/sachik...

and this one, which again feels very ghibli.

Starts a School, by Ernest Owl 11 track album

ernestowl.bandcamp.com/album/starts...

it's an owl called Ernest and he is starting a school.

Scenic Railway, by Scenic Railway 11 track album

scenicrailway.bandcamp.com/album/scenic...

this one always reminds me of ghibli film soundtracks. pure cosiness. toot toot.

Songs For Spring, by Moss Knight 7 track album

mossknight.bandcamp.com/album/songs-...

truly captures the magic and enchantment of spring, like a cosy warm hug that also clears your pollen allergies

Roots and Tunnels, by Olde Fox Den 5 track album

oldefoxden.bandcamp.com/album/roots-...

one of the first comfy albums I heard, and still one of the finest

The Crebain, by Dregahir 8 track album

dregahir.bandcamp.com/album/the-cr...

this one is very underrated.

thank you, it's been bothering me a lot longer than is necessary. I also prefer "por-sha" but my brain started playing tricks on me.

also, I am delighted by your punchy new book. almost to the end and have no idea where it's going to end up. thank you for it.

ultimately, it's open to interpretation. as instrumental music, I hope the narrative thread allows room.dor folks to hang their own meaning over the framework.

But I do hope that the music lends itself to a certain aesthetic, and that it fits somewhere within folk horror.

5/

The third, Life And Death And All That Lays In Between, is an album length meditation on where such a community goes next. Toward darkness, does it close upon itself, does it find meaning in suffering, does it attempt to move towards the light?

Much more discord and stress, musically.
