Anal El-mohtar - Seasons of glass and iron

http://uncannymagazine.com/article/seasons-glass-iron/

Glass Candy - "Shell Game" (Lost River Original Motion Picture Score)

Pretty much instrumental, low beats and the kind of synths that burn through subwoofers. Nice enough. Check out either album or artist?

Johnny Jewel - *misc*

Very David Lynch-y.

H.U.V.A. Network - "Orientations (Above Towns Edit)"

Electronic, slow beats, good for coding

Creed

Another Rocky. 95% and 89% on rotten tomatoes? Well for once I couldn't disagree more. OK film, but nothing special. More fun for me because of the actual boxing than because of the storyline or film.

Get Out

Fun horror where a black guy is lured to an old family's mansion by his girlfriend "to meet her parents" but in reality to get his mind swapped with one of the family members.

Top of the Lake - China Girl

Thrilling and horrible. The soundtrack reminded me of The Returned, but it seems to have been different people.

Shocking story about surrogate mothers in the sex industry and Elizabeth Moss - "Robin" - who has to rescue her mother.

Ska Vengers

From India, with radically political lyrics. To which I'm in all honesty not listening too much, but ska wise, it sounds amazing.

Haruki Murakami - "1Q84" (book 1, 2, 3)

Book one is too long. Took me ages and I lost interest. In book two, things speed up. Tengo and Aomame finally start to do something. The Little People, the air chrysalis, "real life" maza and its "mirror" dohta, the strange Eri-Fuka... finally things started to happen.

I'm definitely no fan anymore of Murakami's main characters. Always the same introvert guys. The same silent girls. Cooking. Jazz and classical musical. Merf.

What struck me: in book 2 or 3 he for once suddenly switches to omniscient storyteller, instead of the usual limited third person. He does it once, for a few paragraphs, a page at most. Curious.

All in all enjoyable, but way too long.

Michael Haag - "The Durrells of Corfu"

A biography of the fantastical family of the Durrells. Famous writer(s)??
Fun enough since the trip to Corfu, but nothing special.

Twin Peaks: the Return

Crazy so far. But I still enjoy it. Even the really slow sequences. Great music!

• Au Revoir Simone - "Lark" (the Bird of Music (Bonus Track))
  typical David Lynch music, electronic, softly sung
• Trouble - "Snake Eyes" (Snake Eyes)
  Great southern rock with saxophone!! must look into this.
• Cigarettes After Sex - "Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby" (I.)
  again, very David Lynch-y
• Johnny Jewel - "Windswept" (Windswept)
  Saxophone, instrumental, nice, look into?

Session 9

Run-off-the-mill 90's horror film about a asbestos cleaning crew suffering from weird illusions in an abandoned madhouse. It was probably my own state of mind why this film actually got to me. It wasn't that good but there was a shift in my perception for a little while.

Logan (2016)

Amazing film that kept me in its grip from beginning to end. Not in the least because of its amazing soundtrack.

Maceo Plex - "Polygon Pulse"

slow, electronic, female vocals, good stuff

The Keys - "From Tense To Loose To Slack"

Great surfy-twangy music, very melodic.

Swans - "Lunacy" (The Seer)

Lunacy! Lunacy! Lunacy!

Aine Cahill - "Black Dahlia"

Very Florence & the Machine ish. Hints of Marina and the Diamon. No full album yet, it seems.

Love in the Circus - "Trust me"

female vocals, lost saxophone, 3am stuff, Vaya Con Dios but less swing.

Robert Gitelman - "As You Wish"

Good for coding?

The Beat - "Mirror in the bathroom"

Nice ska.
