Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (2012) by Lesley Barnes<\/a>. She also has peacock wrapping paper<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Big thanks to Dennis Cooper<\/a> for including this blog in his favourite music, fiction, poetry, film, art & internet lists for 2012. Lots of good company there. One benefit of end-of-year lists is the way they suggest things to look for in January.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “…the best pictures of dicks that I\u2019ve ever seen…” Rudy Rucker<\/a> reviews Malcolm McNeill’s The Lost Art of Ah Pook Is Here<\/em> and Observed While Falling<\/em>, out at last from Fantagraphics. Rucker notes that William Burroughs’ text is still only available in out-of-print editions in which case you’ll need a book dealer<\/a>. Elsewhere, Burroughs: The Movie<\/em><\/a> has cleared 50% of its restoration Kickstarter goal but still needs supporters.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Julia Holter has been a recurrent presence in these posts since the release in March of her acclaimed second album, Ekstasis<\/em>. FACT has an alternate version of the album’s opening song, Marienbad<\/em><\/a>, one of the extra tracks on the recent UK reissue.<\/p>\n

Suttree\u2019s saga carried me down, down, down to the bottom of a heightened surrogate reality, a nadir where the rarest jewels of clarity are found. The fourth time through the novel I arrived at a state of barometric equipoise, a balancing between my mental state and Suttree\u2019s. Then, as he descended again, I began to rise. There was a hypnotic poetry to his fall \u2014 his life disintegrated, then the fragments disintegrated, then those fragments followed suit ad infinitum<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Jim White<\/a> on the life-preserving qualities of Suttree by Cormac McCarthy.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 “An 18-year-old boy who discovers he has a fetish for the aged gets a job in a nursing home and develops an intimate relationship with one particular old man.” Gerontophilia<\/em>, a proposed film by Bruce LaBruce<\/a>, is looking for funding.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Can’t wait for this: Groenland Records announces Who’s That Man?<\/em>, a four-CD set of music produced and performed by Conny Plank<\/a>. FACT has a track list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At BUTT<\/em> magazine: Pink Courtesy Phone Mix by Richard Chartier<\/a>, a great selection of electronica old and new.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Another end-of-year list: Volumes 1 & 2 of The Graphic Canon<\/em> are in NPR’s Indie Bookseller best of 2012<\/a> selection.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Nightmare Paintings<\/em>: art by Aleister Crowley<\/a> currently touring Australia.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Christmas with Monte: Colin Fleming<\/a> on the ghost stories of MR James.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “The war on drugs is a war on human nature” says Lewis Lapham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Alan Moore: why I turned my back on Hollywood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More electronica: Chris Carter<\/a> discusses synths.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Saul Bass poster sketches for The Shining<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Pinterest: The Pan Within<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ah Pook Is The Mayan God Of Death<\/a><\/em> (1975) by William Burroughs | Panic<\/em><\/a> (1985) by Coil | Light Shining Darkly<\/em><\/a> (1992) by Coil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
