I am a sexologist and an experienced ABDL daddy, ABDL researcher, and ABDL support consultant. I love what I do. I am also “excuses”‘s new rock star daddy. My favorite thing to do is change his thick pampers, give him a paci to suck, and bounce him on my knee as I read him a bedtime story.

Waiting in my bedroom, door open, pretending to sleep. I kissed his thighs, and slowly worked my way up to his ass. Man he was clean, like I almost ate his ass completely off, laying there playing dead. Normally Im careful with my 9.5″, but I felt like I was playing a musical instrument. Balls to his dead pussy lips with deep strokes… not and out, N and out. Within seconds, I gasmed 18 inches. Sadly he came back to life and left.

This Sissy girl created a profile on a sex site to admit who she really is sexually. She has denied the truth about herself for most of her young life.

This sissy girl is not passable, she has tried to remove as many male identifying features as she can. She has used nair hair remover to make her body smooth, her face is always freshly shaved, she wears a wig, crotchless panties, sexy lingerie, finger nail polish, female perfume.

This sissy girl needs some master to finalise the process and brutalize her and her throat, shredded, bloody, destroy it completely and fuck her literally, fuck her mind and fuck everything she lives for.

We’re first year college students by day, waiters by night, and represented tv/film actors who audition for major shit on a regular basis that will one day surpass all the other shit we do.

We are EXTREMELY PICKY, because most gay men are repulsive beyond words, have 0 values, and are the complete polar opposite of masculine.

You MUST be more masculine than us or we’re simply not attracted to you. We’re chasing our dreams, we’re going to win multiple Oscars one day, and we will most likely meet the men of our dreams, the men who deserve us in the industry at some point, not on this garbage site, but we’re impatient, so here the fuck we are.

As far as the nitty gritty goes, it’s very simple. we have sloppy pussy cunts we need to be abused, fucked rough, fisted deep, wrecked beyond their limits and filled with cum.

Hello to you all! I am very new to this site, so yes nervous.

My name is Tomasz. I am from a town called Kiecle in Poland. Now living in Barking.

I work in the construction and have the best time working my body. Having muscles is exciting to me. I work so hard like a beast and like when men come over to say how much they like me.

Having men touch and make pleasure from my body excites me again and again. As a muscle boy men are always wanting hard sex with me. Just imagine my body shaking as they slam into me and their cocks spew out thick cum into my buttocks.

I have hardcore pictures of me with men, but I am not putting them on the profile page, god no… So everyone can see. No.

Being 23 and muscular and single is so sad.

Thanks.

A friend came to me yesterday and said he is making a genuine snuff film. The victim and the scenario he’s planning match exactly the fantasies I have had for years about torturing and killing a hot young man. Knowing my inclinations, my friend has invited me to be on the set during filming to view the scene up close, as an observer, not as a participant. Further, he guarantees that there will be no way anyone could ever connect me with the film. Every violent sexual fantasy I have ever had will be played out before my eyes.

I ask others out there this question. Would you, or could you, accept that invitation? I get off on watching videos of young men being killed, tortured, maimed, burned, dismembered. I got no problem with watching because all those are events in the past. This one will be in the present, for my pleasure. I’d like to say I’ll take the moral high ground and decline the invitation. But I can’t turn this down. I just can’t.

one might have every moral and good intention of stopping it from happening, but once your cock is engorged and thumping away with a mind of its own all of right versus wrong flies out the door and satisfying your meats cravings urges and desires is all that becomes important at that moment. however, if you get off to things relatively quickly and shoot that jizz and the dude is still alive, you may be able to stop it from going any further?

I am heavily into being thoroughly whipped to every inch of my entire body and tortured with no limits at all, I don’t want any safe words. I prefer all taking part to choose what to do to me but some examples of what I seek are whipping using anything, tortures using everything, fire, needles, knives, guns, electrocution. The session ends only when everyone taking part decides what the ending is with my full signed, written informed consent.

I would prefer a dark, isolated location away from civilisation (secluded woodland, caves, derelict buildings, deserted mine shafts, garages, cellars, attics) where we will not be seen, disturbed, overheard etc and where the session can be carried out to the end. I will attend alone as I am not afraid of anyone and don’t care. I will not stalk anyone and will not report anyone to the police.

p.s. Hey. ** jay, Hi. I personally really enjoyed ‘Paranoia Agent’, so … yes? I love ‘Serial Experiments Lain’. I think I did a whole post about it a million years ago. Right, interesting: the ‘Paprika’ comparison. Huh. Thanks! ** _Black_Acrylic, Japanese anime can be truly amazing, and it can suck you in, so I say proceed, and go for the craziest, trippiest stuff first. Kon’s ‘Paprika’ is a good entrance. ** Malik, Hi! The Hammons doc is not incredible technically as a doc, but it gives you a lot of background info that I at least didn’t know, and the footage and sound clips of him talking about his work make it an exciting venture. Maybe, yeah, about the essay. Maybe I’ll try to find it. It’s probably on some floppy disc in some drawer god knows where. How or what is your weekend? ** Dominik, Hi!!! Indeed! Oh, maybe I’ll yell a question across the vestibule at the architects. But I think the weird roof predates their arrival by decades. And I think they can’t see the roof and probably don’t even know it’s there. But I’ll try. How is the Kaulitz doc? Are they still a working band, or what is Bill up to these years? Love is EXTREMELY PICKY, because most gay men are repulsive beyond words, have 0 values, and are the complete polar opposite of masculine, G. ** Steve, Hi. I was very surprised to see the entirety of ‘Paranoia Agent’ online. Punk needed enemies, or that fuel helped, and Disco and the waning days of Prog were easy and effective go-to’s at the time. In LA where so many of the prominent punk bands and scenesters were queer, there were probably closeted selective Disco listeners. But LA’s queer-filled punk scene was pretty isolated from the international scene. Glam got an Ok or shrug at least. Um, film mess to figure out, see a film maybe, see a friend/blog contributor who’s visiting, nothing too huge. How was ‘Sing Sing’? Some curiosity in the concept obviously. ** nat, Hi! No length limits here, no problem. Super fascinating about your youthful entree/reckoning with his work and that work. You must be a writer, no? Oh, wait, yes, you confirm that. Do you by chance know this odd, older anime I seem to love called ‘Tamala 2010 Punk Cat in Space’ about a cannibal cat? Not many people seem to know it for some reason. Too bad about the video game fall-through, Writing a video game sounds dreamy to me, but so does writing a romance book that doesn’t suck, so that sounds like a plan. What’s the other project you’re working on. Heat is a disaster. Me too. It just cooled down a bit here. Maybe there (where you are) too? ** Thomas H, Hi. Oh, cool, happy you’re so into his work. Kon’s stuff so completely kicks the ass of Nolan’s and Aronofsky’s stuff. I’m not a fan of theirs. I get you on that disappointment. Yeah, that’s true, huh? Strange that people (me too, I guess) just skip over that without deliberation. I did mean your podcast. I like podcasts. I have a number that I listen to. Oh, it’s your email thing. I’ll use that. I don’t immediately see that information from commenters. I have to go hunt it. But it’s an easy hunt. Awesome, thank you! You rock (and beyond) your weekend too. ** Dom Lyne, Hi, Dom. Oops. Yeah, Zac and I are learning the hard way that money is at the very root of filmmaking, at least if you want to make films that need more than iPhone and a handful of friends. Thanks, pal, for the camaraderie. Big appreciated. Good weekend to you. ** PL, Hi. Ah, Pedro, I’ll try to remember that. ‘Eve’s Bayou’ … the name rings a bell, but that’s it. No, no voodoo experiences, just friends who were into exploring it. And stuff in movies, which I assume are romanticised into cartoon-ville in a lot of cases. What are some swamp/voodoo inclined films you recommend? ** Harper, Hi Oh, cool, that Kon is up your alley. Your place looked really cozy, wooden cave-like. Is the furniture yours as well? And thanks for the face reveal. I honestly had no mental image of you at all, so you filled in a total blank. Obviously, it’s great to get to see you! Phew, I’m sure he’s not going to call the cops if you’re still there after dark. These people. Right, about ‘Lorca’. I like that, when it experiments, it really does, it commits to that. I hope you’re at least mostly squared away by the next time I see you. ** Bill, Hi. Hm, if I had a Kon day before, I’m totally blanking on it. Sometimes I check back to make sure, and sometimes (this time) I didn’t. Enjoy the visitors, I hope? Where are you spending July? Out way East again? ** Jacob, Hello, Jacob! Welcome! It’s a pleasure. It must be hot in Madrid. But I think I imagine that Spain is alway hot, even though it isn’t and wasn’t when I’ve been there. Minds are weird. Wow, very nice thinking/writing on Kon’s stuff. Really good, I got all riveted. Well, fetish board postings return to your eyesight this very day, by chance. How about that? Yes, let’s meet up. Let me know your sched. Uh, you can write me at denniscooper72@ outlook.com. If you denote your ideas or expectations re: ‘bizarre’ + Paris, I’ll do my best. Good to meet you. ** Uday, That’s true. I can’t even remember the last time I went to a post office. I always try to pretend that money doesn’t matter or even exists, but then you get stuck with people to whom it is everything, like we are now, and dreams dispel painfully. Nice Urdu poem. What’s the music like? Never mind, you linked to what I suspect is it  music. Thank you. Best with the packing and, I guess, traveling if that occurs pre-Monday. ** Right. Tomorrow is technically the last day of the moth, but today is the last day of the blog’s month, so you automatically get slaves to bide your time with. See you on Monday.

 

‘Satoshi Kon, who died of pancreatic cancer aged 46, was one of the boldest and most distinctive film-makers to specialise in animation. His main body of work – four completed feature films and an acclaimed television mini-series – was playful, sophisticated and adult. Tired of the cliches of mass-produced Japanese animation – “robots and beautiful little girls,” as he once put it – Kon sought to make animation that used ambitious and often disorientating editing, intercutting and scene-shifting.

‘”In animation, only what is intended to be communicated is there,” he once said. “If I had a chance to edit live-action, it would be too fast for audiences to follow.” Kon made only sparing use of CGI in his mostly drawn films, relying on such superb animators as Shinji Otsuka and Toshiyuki Inoue.

‘Much of Kon’s animation combines realistic drama (usually set in present-day Tokyo) with dreams and fantasy. This approach culminated in his dazzling 2006 film Paprika, which received a standing ovation at the Venice film festival. Four years before Christopher Nolan’s Inception, Paprika portrayed a puckish “dream detective” shimmying through the subconscious fantasies of other people. Nolan has acknowledged Paprika as an influence, but Kon’s film has far more fun with its dream worlds. Its titular heroine dashes through paintings and signboards while transforming into everything from a fairy to a mermaid to Pinocchio.

‘Kon thought that people lived in multiple realities, such as those of television, the internet and the realm of memory. “The human brain is mysterious; we can’t share the time axis in our memory with other people,” he said. “I’m interested in trying to visualise those nonlinear ways of thinking.” The first feature he directed was a Hitchcockian psycho-thriller, Perfect Blue (1997), about the mental disintegration of a young actor after she takes part in a lurid rape scene.

‘Perhaps the only effective horror film in animation, Perfect Blue was graphically explicit and psychologically disturbing. Asked about its 18-rated gore, Kon said he was not particularly interested in the violence. “However,” he said, “if the story or the character or the expression of a mental state requires a violent expression, then I wouldn’t hesitate to use it.” In contrast, Kon’s next film, Millennium Actress (2001), was a lyrical magic-realist romance. In it, another starlet – who resembles the reclusive Setsuko Hara, star of Yasujiro Ozu’s Tokyo Story (1953) – obsessively searches for her lost wartime love, racing through movies and memories as if they were the same thing.

‘Tokyo Godfathers (2003) proved to be another change of direction, a Frank Capraesque Christmas comedy about three homeless people trying to return an abandoned baby girl to her family. The film also had the same basic plot as 3 Godfathers, John Ford’s 1948 western. Despite its humour, Tokyo Godfathers was upfront in showing its characters’ harsh situation. This social commentary was also overt in Kon’s Paranoia Agent (2004), a 13-part late-night miniseries, in which Tokyo is terrorised by a homicidal little boy with a baseball bat. Coming after a wave of much-publicised youth crimes in Japan, this was a near-the-knuckle subject for television animation. The darkly funny show soon turned fantastical, with shades of Twin Peaks and The X-Files, and macabre subplots about suicide clubs and repressed housewives.

‘After Paprika, Kon began The Dreaming Machine, which promised to be his biggest departure – a film suitable for both adults and children, set in a fanciful future with an all-robot cast. It seems likely that the film will be completed by Kon’s artists and released by the Madhouse studio, which has handled all of his work since Perfect Blue.’ — Andrew Osmond

Interview
from Midnight Eye

 

I’d like to talk about the genesis of Paprika. I know that you met Yasutaka Tsutsui, the author of the original novel, in 2003 and that he wanted you to make his book into a film.

Satoshi Kon: That was the first time we met each other and I thought perhaps as a gesture of goodwill or business manners that he would say something like that, but perhaps in the back of his mind he was considering it. I was already a fan of his work, so I was glad to meet him.

Once he did give his blessing to make the film, did pre-production start soon after that or did it start the wheels in motion for production of the film?

SK: At the time of our meeting, the Paranoia Agent TV series was still in production. Completing that series was the first commitment for Madhouse. We were thinking of a project that we could realistically begin developing soon after Paranoia Agent, so it happened quite naturally. We started developing Paprika while we were still in production on Paranoia Agent.

If you had not got his blessing, would you not have made the film?

SK: I don’t think I would have. As a film based on someone else’s story, without that meeting and blessing from the master, I probably wouldn’t have made the film.

Fate, perhaps?

SK: Of course there is an element of fate, but in order for a film to come into existence it has to go beyond that. When fate happened to bring us together, I started to think about what the meaning was for me to make Paprika at that moment. All of the films I had made up until that point – Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, and Tokyo Godfathers – were made through a very realistic method of representation, and the themes and subject matter were also quite realistic. I thought Paprika was a chance to tap a new part of creativity within me by using realistic methods of representation to deal with something more fantastic.

Before I ask about the themes and imagery in the film, I’d like to ask about some practical things like the budget of the film and production time. Is this the largest budget to date you’ve worked with and the longest production period? How does it compare to your other work?

SK: It’s on par budget-wise and time-wise with Tokyo Godfathers.

But was there more use of CG or newer technologies with Paprika than with previous films?

SK: Yes, there was. We considered how far we could expand the possibilities using computer graphics, so the role that CG played in this film was bigger than in my previous work. The biggest challenge was that in all kinds of 3D and 2D animation, there’s a big divide between hand-drawn analog animation and digital animation. In all the projects I’ve seen, it’s been difficult to blend them harmoniously. I prefer hand-drawn imagery myself, so my biggest challenge was how to blend them so the textures worked together.

Everything blended very well. Perhaps in a similar way, Howl’s Moving Castle used CG as a means to an end to achieve an overall vision, not to stand out.

SK: It’s true that the attitude of directors towards how to employ CG differs from person to person. In fact I don’t think that type of blending has become a natural part of our everyday lives. Our wish is for analog animation to swallow digital animation.

Going into the themes and visual style of the film, as you mentioned, Paprika has more surreal content than any of your previous films. I do recall some surreal imagery in Paranoia Agent and Millennium Actress, but with this film it’s a full-blown display of surrealism. What challenges were entailed in achieving all the fantastical and hyper-detailed imagery?

SK: It’s not as if I had a goal in mind when I chose this type of hyper-real technique. Rather, I was hoping to create something that went beyond my imagination. I thought, “What would happen if we did this?” I wanted to surprise myself. It wasn’t a plan I set up, but it resulted in something very strange and it gave me a lot of confidence in what I could achieve. As you say, the hyper-real method of creating reality is an “excessive reality.” This is different from live-action filmmaking. It’s a different kind of reality that challenges us what to emphasize or not emphasize. Each step will create a world beyond what is truly real. Instead of trying to create reality as it is around us, I felt that the surreal world would come out.

Regarding some of the specific imagery like the Japanese doll that destroys the buildings and the parade of characters that includes inanimate objects such as furniture and appliances. Were those elements in the original novel or did you come up with them with your Madhouse team?

SK: The parade itself is something I came up with. It’s one of the most important motifs for me, and wasn’t in the original story. I didn’t feel a strong desire that I had to change the original story, but the novel was very text-based and psychological. Trying to visualize all that text couldn’t compete with the novel as it is, so I had to find a way in one visual step to represent the mindset of the novel and that became the parade of inanimate objects. Where that parade goes is also interesting – it overflows into reality. It starts in the desert, which is the furthest point from civilization, through the jungle, over a bridge, and finally intrudes into reality.

One line that I found fascinating was when Paprika’s character says that dreams and the internet are the same thing in a way. Do you believe that?

SK: What I wrote was that the internet and dreams share the same quality of giving rise to the repressed subconscious. I think in countries like Japan and America and other countries where internet is prevalent, people can anonymously seek or release things they can’t speak of offline, as if there’s a part of the subconscious that’s uncontrollable and comes out on the internet. That is very much like dreams. This may be a very visualistic analogy, but I’ve always thought we drop down into dreams, and when you’re sitting in front of your computer and connect to the internet, you’re also going down into some kind of underworld. I’ve always thought those two images had something in common. I’m not trying to say that dreams and the internet are good or bad, I’m trying to saying that there’s good and bad that cannot be judged in both worlds. Some people say that in the virtual world, different rules exist or try to say that a lot of vicious things happen there, but I don’t think there’s a reason to differentiate the virtual world from reality because reality includes that virtual world.

The internet is a kind of mirror that reflects everything good and bad in society.

SK: Exactly.

Satoshi Kon’s films & TV works

The Dreaming Machine (?)
‘During Kon’s battle with pancreatic cancer, the director expressed concern about the film being finished to Madhouse head Masao Maruyama. Maruyama assured Kon the film would be completed, no matter what. When Kon died, production was suspended indefinitely until further plans could be worked out over the film. On Friday November 12, 2010 Madhouse Studios announced production resumed with character designer and chief animation director Yoshimi Itazu taking over as director of the film. At Otakon 2011, Maruyama revealed that production had been put on hold for financial reasons, but that he was dedicated to eventually be able to finish the film. According to Maruyama, about 600 shots out of 1500 had been animated at that point.

‘Susumu Hirasawa, whose song “Dreaming Machine” (from The Ghost in Science) is the source of the film’ title, said: “I never received an official order from Kon. It’s an unspoken agreement of sorts. There are scenes where he specifically requested a certain track to be used, but there are also many parts where there are no such directions, so it falls to me to choose the songs. This is a difficult task. But we must carry out his dying request, to complete this work, even without a director to question”.

‘In 2011, founder Masao Maruyama left Madhouse to found MAPPA in order to “make new shows that we wouldn’t have been able to make at Madhouse.” At Otakon 2012, he stated regarding Satoshi Kon’s unfinished film, “Unfortunately, we still don’t have enough money. My personal goal is to get it within five years after his passing. I’m still working hard towards that goal.”

‘In August 2016, Mappa Producer Masao Maruyama Said in an interview: “For 4~5 years, I kept searching for a suitable director to complete Kon’s work. Before his death, the storyboard and script, even part of the keyframe film was already completed. Then I thought, even if someone can mimic Kon’s work, it would still be clear that it’s only an imitation. For example, if Mamoru Hosoda took the director’s position, the completed Dreaming Machine would still be a good piece of work. However, it’s Hosoda’s movie, not Kon’s. Dreaming Machine should be Kon’s movie, him and only him, not someone else’s. That means we cannot and should not “compromise” only to finish it. I spent years, finally reached this hard conclusion. Instead, we should take only Kon’s “original concept”, and let somebody turns it into a feature film. By doing so, the completed piece could 100% be that person’s work, and I’m OK with that.”‘ — collaged

Ohayo (Good Morning) (2008)
‘Ohayu is a super-brief one minute piece directed as part of the Ani*Kuri 15 project, a multimedia scheme where one minute short animations played on TV and the web. In the film a girl waking up discovers exhibits a literal disconnect in the process of waking up. This was Satoshi Kon’s final work before his early death at the age of 46. Until his death, Satoshi was in the middle of work on a new film project, MADHOUSE’s Yume-Miru Kikai. The status of that film is unclear at this time, but hopefully we’ll be treated to one last major work from this unique film voice.’ — collaged

Paprika (2006)
‘Paprika is a highly sophisticated work of the imagination, a journey into a labyrinth of dreams and an exploration of the line between dreams and reality. It’s not a film for children, and it’s not even something children would like. It’s challenging and disturbing and uncanny in the ways it captures the nature of dreams — their odd logic, mutability and capacity to hint at deepest terrors. The story surrounds the invention of a device meant to be used therapeutically. A dreamer is hooked up to a machine, making it possible for doctors to see a dream on a screen, record it and understand its unconscious meaning. As the film begins, the device — known as the DC Mini — has not yet been approved, but young Dr. Chiba is using it already to help her patients. Moreover, she is entering her patient’s dreams, in the guise of an alter ego known as Paprika. This is easily one of the most insightful and enjoyable films about the unconscious that you’re likely to find, full of images that echo through the mind in eerie ways.’ — San Francisco Chronicle

Paranoia Agent (2004)
‘Paranoia Agent (妄想代理人) is a Japanese anime television series created by director Satoshi Kon and produced by Madhouse about a social phenomenon in Musashino, Tokyo caused by a juvenile serial assailant named Lil’ Slugger (the English equivalent to Shōnen Batto, which translates to “Bat Boy”). The plot relays between a large cast of people affected in some way by the phenomenon; usually Lil’ Slugger’s victims or the detectives assigned to apprehend him. As each character becomes the focus of the story, details are revealed about their secret lives and the truth about Lil’ Slugger.’ — collaged

Tokyo Godfathers (2003)
‘Japanese animator Satoshi Kon has a striking sense of composition, but I’m more impressed by his storytelling skills; his previous feature, Millennium Actress, was a highly ambitious tale with a sweeping sense of contemporary Japanese history. The three main characters of this 2003 feature are homeless—one a decadent gambler, another a transvestite, the third a young woman who’s fled her abusive father. When they find an abandoned infant in a pile of garbage, the transvestite refuses to part with it, which forces all three to deal with their pasts. Except for a bathetic ending, Kon transcends his corny premise, leavening its sentiment with irony and a mercilessly downbeat vision of metropolitan Japan.’ — Chicago Reader

________________
Millennium Actress (2001)
‘Millennium Actress is fabulous for many reasons. Most important, this movie is Chiyoko’s story, not an anime adventure. It’s animated, but it’s human and will touch the soul of anyone who has loved deeply. We wonder, alongside Chiyoko, if she will ever see her love again. But it’s the quest that rips our hearts out in this classic and, yes, manipulative tearjerker. Too often, anime – between the explosions and cataclysms reflected in opaque eyes – is a visual show, like IMAX films. Millennium Actress is a movie first, catching us up in its sweeps and turns. As with their Perfect Blue, Kon and Murai craft a nonlinear story, interweaving the tale’s fact and fiction, treating time as just another element subservient to Chiyoko’s yarn. She traipses through Japanese history, backed by dazzling sets that look as they might if Peter Max had turned his psychedelic eye to traditional Japanese art. Some might cavil that Millennium Actress is confusing, as it blurs the line between Chiyoko’s real and cinematic lives, but that’s the point: Love is all-consuming – it never dies, even as life goes on.’ — Chicago Tribune

Perfect Blue (1997)
‘The pressures of career choices and the threat of a murderously obsessive fan loosen former pop star Mima’s grasp on reality, in a story that explores the dehumanizing effects of the entertainment industry. Perfect Blue also shows how that same industry makes vulnerable women complicit in their own sexual exploitation. This startling first feature reminds us of the immense talent the anime universe lost when director Satoshi Kon succumbed to cancer at 46. No one else would even have thought of doing this intense psychodrama as an animated feature—the source material’s not dissimilar to Black Swan—and surely only Kon had the visual skills to transfer the disturbingly fragmented mise en scène of a Polanski or an Argento into animated form. The outcome is dark, mesmerizing, but also controlled and coherent in a way the hyperimaginative Kon never quite managed again.’ — Trevor Johnston

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (1994)
‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure showed off Kon’s abilities in 1993, as he scripted and co-produced the fifth episode of the OVA series based on Hirohiko Araki’s flamboyant fighting manga. It’s a strange match, as Kon admitted in interviews that, as a kid, he was never fond of the overblown shonen fisticuffs that JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure frequently embodies. He also stuck to the story established in Araki’s manga, and the only really Kon-like scene comes when series villain Dio torments an underling by chasing him into the same car over and over. Perhaps Kon and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure weren’t so different.’ — Anime News Network

p.s. Hey. ** PL, Hi, PL. Or may I call you P? Chic’s ‘My Feet Keep Dancing’ is one of the greatest tracks ever, IMO. There was great hostility to disco in the early punk era. It was seen as a kind of sedative that was being dosed to a world that needed to be woken up. ‘Death to Disco’ was a rallying cry. Strangely, I’ve never really spent a lot of time with Lana Del Rey’s stuff. Just the occasional track I hear somewhere. So I don’t have any kind of informed opinion. I have friends who totally adore her. Glad you’re good too. ** Dominik, Hi!!! ‘SttS’ and ‘Candy’ is a wacky combination, I must say. That’s the view out my apartment’s back windows. The thing under that roof/guardrail is an architecture firm. But I don’t think that explains it. Love seems to have at least temporarily killed the heat and humidity here and given us the good stuff. Probably won’t last long. Hopefully he didn’t cure our problems rather than yours by accident. Love adapting the most recent slave post (or any of them really) into an anime, G. ** _Black_Acrylic, I think that oft-played cover of ‘… Siren’ by This Mortal Coil also gave him a moment. Thanks for the fill-in about how you make PT. Makes sense. It’s a masterstroke. I definitely meant Industrial on MDMA as a compliment. Maybe you’ll singlehandedly start a new genre. Add my voice to the one telling yourself to get back into your writing. I’m happy that a post lead you successfully into that book. ** Ellie, Hi, ellie! Eileen and Fanny hated it? That’s very interesting. Thank you for the email. I’ll get to it ASAP. I can be pretty slow with email, forewarning, but I’ll try hard not to be. Great, really look forward to that. I’m happy the recent posts have been useful. Cool. Everything’s still kind of okay with the Olympics stuff except for the metro closure annoyance, but it’ll start getting crazed in a couple of weeks or, wait, even less. I’ll keep you informed. Hm, now I’m going to spend the rest of my day trying to figure out how I could melt a marshmallow unusually. Which is good. I like sticky thoughts. Cleaning the lens of a pair of reading glasses definitively, D. ** Steve, My memory is that ‘Greetings’ is the best of those three Buckley albums, but I’ve had no inclination to re-listen to it in years. Oh yeah, I think I’ve heard you on Nick DeMatteo’s podcast. Ugh on the meds adjusting. All the luck. I may just order the ‘Aggro’ Dvd even though I don’t have any way to play a DVD if it doesn’t get a Paris screening soon. ** Dom Lyne, Hi. I hate(d) fish and seafood so much that I can’t even tolerate fake vegan versions. Deciding to shoot the film in Southern California added to the costs for sure because the ‘industry’ is there, and technical people there charge more for their services. We also greatly underestimated how much it would cost to rent a house that we could alter for two months, even way out in the desert where we shot. And the haunted house itself cost a lot more to have designed and built than we guessed. Those were the biggest problems. Relatively speaking, our film was very inexpensive for a feature film. It cost 430k dollars to shoot, which was a ton for us, but feature films that cost less than a million or two are very, very rare. Anyway, that’s the deal. Thanks, pal. xoxo. ** Harper, Hi. Oh, nice about ‘Starsailor’. I especially like ‘Lorca’. That’s the most experimental one. A rice cooker is no small thing. I’ve been meaning to buy one for, wow, forever. So, some consolation, yes. Nice about you making Polaroids. I miss mine. I used to carry mine around with me and take polaroids of everything. Sadly most of them are all yellowed out now. I assume they figured out a way to give polaroids a healthier life by now. Phrase beautifully turned! ** Justin D, Hi! Well, me being me, I’ve already had the new GbV album for some days now. GbV fanatics can be sneaky, determined folk. And it’s definitely one of their very best of recent times even! What are you listening with a degree of consequent ecstasy these days? ** Malik, It is Friday, indeed. Lonnie Holley is so great! I love his music too. His last album ‘Oh Me Oh My’ is amazing. Do you like David Hammons? I just saw a documentary about him, and the way he talks about his work is so brilliant and exciting. It made me really wish I could have a coffee with him. I’ll try to find that Jeremy O. Harris documentary. Thanks! I used to be obsessed with WWE. Quite a while ago. I even wrote an essay for some art magazine way back comparing it to how they used to theatricalise and narrative-size sports in ancient Rome. I don’t know whatever happened to that essay. It was probably trying a little too hard. Happy day! ** nat, Hi, nat! Good to meet you, and thank you for coming in here. That’s a really good question. It’s a while back, but I think when Frank O’Hara was referenced on ‘Mad Men’ it did kind of permanently enlarge his fan base. And maybe that happened with Eileen Myles re: ‘Transparent’? I don’t know. I do wonder what would happen if, like, ‘House of Dragons’ soundtracked something like ‘Lorca’ prominently. Probably nothing, I guess. I’m happy you’re into Buckley, and I think inarticulation is maybe the ultimate response. So, no problem obviously. Thank you again. Come back any time, need I even say. ** Uday, Hey! Wow, a email (I’m guessing) from Lucy Sante is pretty cool indeed! What a good egg she/they is/are. I feel like everyone is just assaulted with crowdfunding these days, or I certainly am, and a successful campaign is a huge amount of work, and I am really not a good self-promoter, so while it is an option, it’s a very last ditch one. No, it’s a good and obvious question. It’s just a very hard way to raise money for an art/film project, at least on our case. May Friday bestow a lot on you. ** Okay. Today I give the blog over to the late and sometimes remarkable anime creator Satoshi Kon in hopes that you will peruse the evidence at hand and see what you think. See you tomorrow.
