nxwwwwxn Functionality Update 25 January 2016

A) This 'Super HD' Psychedelic Wolf Puzzle, whose pieces may be EZ to pick up and hold, but is vibrationally hardcore and all-over in affect, making ease of solution visibility very slow-moving and complex. B) Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts being repurposed for Citizenfour by Laura Poitras. It is super-awesome that not only does Citizenfour play out like a 21st Century real-life update of the 1970's Paranoid Cinematics, but how well Ghosts fits as a jittery post-ambient soundtrack. Speaking of that, Is it weird that I now like to watch Citizenfour as ambient TV, just having it on for some reason makes me feel better. I am in a nonfictional visual space right now I guess. Lots of Weather Channel, Card Sharks, Citizenfour. C) What is nonfunctional is that Blizzard Jonas actually got inside our house by breaking the roof. That isn't cool. I hope everything does not flood further once the snowpack melts tomorrow!!! It also destroyed our deck awning, but that is not the same as a roof. Here is Jonas from space in sequence! : http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/01/winter_storm_jonas_nasa_and_no.html D) This cover of Mayhem's 'Freezing Moon' by Wyrd Visions in honor of the very large, very cold moon I saw hanging in the sky over the Western Hill. The whole of Wyrd Visions' album Half-Eaten Guitar is definitely worth listening to, but I dig this haunted-folk-blues rendition of such a classick.

  1. I forget, are you a fan of Adam Curtis? He always makes great use of NIN in his films and TV shows. All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace has some incredible needle-drops from Ghosts and With Teeth. (Graham from Letterboxd!)

    1. Hi Graham! I Love With Teeth! It is good NIN for sure. I always imagine Trent Reznor doing power aerobics to that music. I like the Adam Curtis that I have seen but that might be limited to Century Of The Self. I have had Bitter Lake in my queue to watch for a pretty long while. Maybe now I will get to it! I am most interested in that one and The Power Of Nightmares.
