Weird Tales, October 1933. Cover art by Margaret Brundage.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Michael Moorcock’s novels are being republished this year by Gollancz in a range of print and digital editions. Publishing Perspectives asks Is Now a Perfect Time for a Michael Moorcock Revival?<\/a> \u2022 Related: Dangerous Minds posted\u00a0The Chronicle of the Black Sword<\/em>: A Sword & Sorcery Concert from Hawkwind and Michael Moorcock<\/a>. My sleeve<\/a> for that album was the last I did for the band. \u2022 Obliquely related: Kensington Roof Gardens<\/a> appear as a location in several Moorcock novels, and also provided a venue for the author’s 50th birthday party. If you have a spare \u00a3200m<\/a> you may be interested in buying them once Richard Branson’s lease expires.<\/p>\n

\u2022 One of my favourite things in Mojo<\/em> magazine was a list by Jon Savage of 100 great psychedelic singles (50 from the UK, 50 from the US). This week he presented a list of the 20 best glam-rock songs of all time<\/a>. For the record, Blockbuster<\/em> by The Sweet was the first single I bought so I’ve always favoured that song over Ballroom Blitz<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Alluring Art of Margaret Brundage<\/em> is a forthcoming book by J. David Spurlock about the Weird Tales<\/em> cover artist. Steven Heller<\/a> looks at her life (I’d no idea she knew Djuna Barnes) while io9<\/a> has some of her paintings. Related: Illustrations for Weird Tales<\/em> by Virgil Finlay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The masterpiece of Mann\u2019s Hollywood period is, of course, Paracelsus<\/em> (1937), with Charles Laughton. Laughton\u2019s great bulk swims into pools of scalding light out of greater or lesser shoals of darkness like a vast monster of the deep, a great black whale. The movie haunts you like a bad dream. Mann did not try to give you a sense of the past; instead, Paracelsus<\/em> looks as if it had been made in the Middle Ages \u2013 the gargoyle faces, bodies warped with ague, gaunt with famine, a claustrophobic sense of a limited world, of chronic, cramped unfreedom.<\/p>\n

The Merchant of Shadows<\/a> (1989) by Angela Carter. There’s more of her writing in the LRB Archive<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 Television essayist Jonathan Meades was back on our screens this week. The MeadesShrine<\/a> at YouTube gathers some of his earlier disquisitions on culture, place, buildings and related esoterica.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sometimes snark is the only worthwhile response: An A-Z Guide to Music Journalist Bullshit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 London venue the Horse Hospital<\/a> celebrates 20 years of unusual events.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Politics of Dread: An Interview with China Mi\u00e9ville<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 How Giallo Can You Go? Antoni Maiovvi Interviewed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A guide to Terry Riley’s music<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Three more for the glam list: Coz I Love You<\/em><\/a> (1971) by Slade | Get It On<\/em><\/a> (1971) by T. Rex | Starman<\/em><\/a> (40th Anniversary Mix) (1972) by David Bowie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
