Etienne Jaumet - "Repeat Again After Me (original mix)"
Droning beat and saxophone, dark evening and a club.
Le Masque - "L'Uomo Felice"
Surprisingly enough, found on youtube. Just thought it prudent to make a note of Le Masque in my list of music.

Haxan Cloak - (misc)
- Consumed
- The Drop (ok)
Ok enough drone, nothing crazy or amazing. Minor chords.

Hunter S. Thompson - "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream"
"My blood is too thick for California: I have never been able to properly explain myself in this climate. Not with the soaking sweats... wild red eyeballs and trembling hands."
"Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only real cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive lik a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas. To relax, as it were, in the womb of the desert sun. Just roll the roof back and screw it on, grease the face with white tanning butter and move out with the music at top volume, and at least a pint of ether."
"But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country - but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that."

The Pussywarmers & Réka - "I Saw Them Leaving"
Surfpop, psychfolk, blues, from Switserland.
It's crazy but pretty nice. Has a bit of a surf vibe, but not much.

Lydia Davis - "A Double Negative"
At a certain point in her life, she realizes it is not so much she wants to have a child as that she does not want not to have a child, or not to have had a child.
(not all shorts in the collection are as good)

We Are What We Are (2013)
Based on the film "Somos lo que hay".
As an old family tradition, the wife or eldest daugther has been killing a girl/woman to eat once per year.
Pretty good, grim American gothic horror story. Staying original while understanding the genre. The montage of the flashback to 1782 with current times was really well done. Interesting ending. No dragging it out, either.
