At the same site there’s Russell Cuzner talking to English Heretic<\/a>. “His methodology takes in magick, psychogeography and horror film geekdom, along with firm roots in Britain’s industrial music culture of the early 1980s, to form potent, novel topographies of an otherwise unconnected world of occultists and psychopaths.”<\/p>\n \u2022 A slew of London links this week: Geoff Manaugh<\/a> on how the capital was redesigned to survive wartime blackouts, a piece which inadvertently explains why you see so much black-and-white street furniture in post-war films | Bob Mazzer’s photos<\/a> of the London Underground in the 1970s and 1980s | Philipp Ebeling’s photos<\/a> of the capital and its inhabitants today.<\/p>\n \u2022 “Science has become an international bully. Nowhere is its bullying more outrageous than in its assault on the phenomenon known as subjectivity.” David Gelernter<\/a> on “The Closing of the Scientific Mind”.

Bogdanovich’s interview tapes can now be heard at the Internet Archive<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Brian Dillon on Dada collagist Hannah H\u00f6ch<\/a> who he calls “art’s original punk”, and\u00a0Sean O’Hagan talking to another collage artist, Linder Sterling<\/a>, who says “Lady Gaga didn’t acknowledge I wore a meat dress first”.<\/p>\n \u2022 One Hundred Years Of Weird Fear: Daniel Jos\u00e9 Older<\/a> on HP Lovecraft\u2019s literature of genealogical terror. More fear (and Lovecraft): Will Wiles<\/a> on the growth of Creepypasta.<\/p>\n \u2022 The Last Alan Moore Interview?<\/a> A lengthy discussion with P\u00e1draig \u00d3 M\u00e9al\u00f3id. Shunning interviews hasn’t done Cormac McCarthy any harm so if I was Alan I wouldn’t worry.<\/p>\n \u2022 And speaking of Cormac McCarthy, the headline of the week: “Cormac McCarthy\u2019s ex-wife busted after pulling gun from vagina during alien argument<\/a>“.<\/p>\n \u2022 Where the bodies are buried: Mick Brown presents a potted biography of Kenneth Anger<\/a> who offers a few reluctant quotes.<\/p>\n \u2022 A short animation for gore-obsessed kids: Pingu’s The Thing<\/em><\/a> by Lee Hardcastle<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Helen Yentus<\/a> designs a 3D-printed slipcase for a novel by Chang-rae Lee.<\/p>\n \u2022 Ralph Steadman<\/a>‘s illustrations for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Mix of the week: Secret Thirteen Mix 103 by Lustmord<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Collage art<\/a> at Pinterest.<\/p>\n \u2022 No Escape<\/a><\/em> (1966) by The Seeds | Pushin’ Too Hard<\/a><\/em> (1966) by The Seeds | No Escape<\/a><\/em> (1979) by Cabaret Voltaire | Pushin’ Too Hard<\/a><\/em> (1982) by Paul Parker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
