Case and sacred relics packed ready. Now, just waiting for the Raptor to take off. Surely, it can’t be much longer?

#notagoth

Working on the basis that as this era helped with college, seems only poetic to revisit it as the complimentary soundtrack for today’s Raptor.

(Still some confusion as to when the live coverage kicks off.)

#notagoth

Taped off the radio at the time and subsequently played to death. The initial CD (long out-of-print/flogged) had a notorious cover that, in Space Year 2026, now looks magnificent compared to the malign slop we’re being force-fed.

As it hits the half-century, seems a good time to actually give this a watch.

Prompted by Scarred For Life, decided to revisit another epic not seen since it played in a Cardiff Queen Street cinema last century. Remember owning toys (and the proto-Event Horizon conclusion), but that’s about it.

#notagoth

Caught this in a long-gone Newport cinema when it first came out and haven’t seen it since. Having said that, Rick Baker’s work remains far superior to recent CGI efforts.

A photo of a black wheelie bin with a sticker of a white bat, showing the house number 33.

The bins are now thematically aligned with the doorknocker.

Been filling in the hours (before The Son Of Godzilla/Cthulhu/Anakin Skywalker finally pop up and ‘Fulfil The Prophecy’) with a chronological scamper through Hawkwind’s generous back catalogue. Would recommend.

Goth Gardening – Wow. Black Plants add Drama! Goth Gardening relies on some easy gothic elements plus the sultry drama of black plants. Easy to achieve a great look with many beautiful plant options!

As spring struggles to be born, I once again start dreaming of a garden full of black flowers.

“I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards.” - G. Marenghi

More of a template for Gremlins 2 than you’d think. And Small Prophets, (if you squint). Lanchester, Karloff and Thesiger shine as the monsters. Special mention for the sets and sfx.

Fairly sure this book inspired many of the recent plot-twists in the current season of “It’s The End…”

A post-Jerusalem revisit throws up a lot more than the initial encounter did. Familiar faces, and Easter eggs aplenty. If only it meant something…

“I know a lot about demons, sir.”

Keeping things cheery. Despite having seen the 1982 film, and a theatrical version in Cardiff about a decade later, hadn’t tracked down the ‘nauseating’ Play For Today original until today.

A FB ad for Historic Newspapers shows a white haired woman holding a large, square binder or album. On the front is written "On your 90th, Your life in headlines" but the font makes it look like the word Goth.

This appeared on my FB timeline and I spent way too long wondering who this g0th band was, and why this old lady wanted their album on vinyl.

Whilst panning the News Stream for the latest “It’s The End…” infoturds, remembered a comic panel in an issue of Swamp Thing that I rescued from the Butlins Minehead shop back in the 80s.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a digital copy of this classic piece of copyright infringement’s first b-side anywhere in the wild. Still, “smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em”, and all that.

It is a grey Tuesday.
I am still headachy from this cold, and depressed AF.
So I have naturally just ordered myself a Cheddar Man skull replica from Carnivore Studios as a little treat.
