Dream Log: Ectobee & Past and Future Selves

By Giania • Sep 4th, 2007 • Category: Dream Log

Hot: The dream log to follow really isn’t all that suprising to me. I’ve been re-reading The Dark Tower series (Stephen King, I’m on The Waste Lands) and quite frankly I’m probably crazy. The majority is unfortunately already disappearing into the fog of the waking world. A lot of what I do remember is NSFW [...]



The Scritch-Scratch of Busy Little Hands

By Giania • Aug 29th, 2007 • Category: Film

Hot: A short film about a young man who likes to draw. In the quivery, rich, hand-drawn art I see shades of Bill Plympton and Don Hertzfeldt, and Gerald Scarfe. Yet the twin animators, Joy and Noelle, do exude a lot of unique character. The music fits like a well-oiled glove, and the voices are [...]



Haluz 2: Just as Gorgeous as the First

By Giania • Aug 22nd, 2007 • Category: Art, Internet Toys, media

Hot: Jay Is Games tipped me off yesterday that Haluz 2 is out. If you enjoy “casual gaming” at all, and you don’t have JIG bookmarked, then shame on you. But I digress. Haluz and Haluz 2 are two gorgeous point-and-click puzzle solving games. (See also: Samarost and its sequel, Samarost 2 from the fine [...]



One Television You Shouldn’t Throw Away

By Giania • Jul 25th, 2007 • Category: Audio, media

Hot: Clocking in at 11 minutes, this alternate take of the title track from the rerelease of Televison’s 1977 album Marquee Moon is a sweeping soundscape of what translates to near pure bliss for this listener. “Eleven minutes?!” one may be inclined to exclaim, “Why that’s much longer than 3! and far longer than the [...]



dream log: morning journeys

By Giania • Jul 24th, 2007 • Category: Dream Log

Hot: Had a very lucid-feeling dream in which I was able to speak to my recently deceased father. The reason I claim lucidty is because I physically felt the struggle to stay asleep upon realizing that I was dreaming. It was near a pool. I only spoke with him briefly. Told him it was pretty [...]



Dream Log: Flaming Lips, Purple Valve, and Evil Symbiotes

By Giania • Jul 15th, 2007 • Category: Dream Log

Hot: I went to bed rather early because I got up early and was a lot more active than normal. At first I dreamt I was in a field and the stars over my head shone with a brilliance I have never seen before (not even in NM and the stars there were intense). At [...]



Remarkable Sand Art from SICAF 2003

By Giania • Jul 11th, 2007 • Category: Art

Hot: This gorgeous display of sand art drawings, created and destroyed from one moment to the next is truly captivating. It’s so wonderous to see the images almost seem to come alive from the shadowy hands which gently sift, place, and sweep away sand from atop the lighted podium. Nine minutes may seem like a [...]



From the Freshly Slaughtered Corpse of ToM

By Giania • Jul 5th, 2007 • Category: Art, Articles of Interest, Audio, Film, Fnord, Literature, Memes, Science!, media

Hot: O Gentle Readers, I would be truly remiss if I did not make it a point to express my elation and sorrow. Sorrow for the loss of Table of Malcontents, and elation that when ToM was slain a glorious monstrosity arose from its fetid corpse to continue to disseminate only the finest cthuloid steampunk [...]



Captain Ahab

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2007 • Category: Audio, Film, media

Hot: During these days of Table of Malcontents‘ last stand, every post is to be latched onto and ferverantly shaken like a favorite chew toy. From the incendiary, delightful Ms. Eliza Gauger comes a Noise Du Jour post sure to knock your socks off. Meet Captian Ahab (no not that one): Imagine, gentle readers, if [...]



Late Night Tales (Flaming Lips)

By Giania • May 27th, 2005 • Category: Fnord

Hot: http://www.azuli.com/full-details/?s=67135c9d2024662c695090f3c6be4697&id=537&category=1 This compliation is to die for. It opens with some pleasantly ethereal Bjork. In contrast to the Filter review, this song’s album of origin is not one I assumed I must own. Point of fact, I myself only like Bjork’s material in small doses. (They mentioned a few others I didn’t necessarily classify [...]
