Why Do The Heathen Rage? (2014) by The Soft Pink Truth. Cover art by Mavado Charon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Drew Daniel’s latest release as The Soft Pink Truth is Why Do The Heathen Rage?<\/em><\/a>, a witty electronic riposte to the often reactionary attitudes of black metal music and the people who create it. (The album is dedicated to Magne Andreassen, a gay man stabbed to death by the drummer from Emperor.) Dorian Lynskey<\/a> talked to Daniel about queering the metal world, as did Angus Finlayson<\/a> at FACT. Daniel’s project has been receiving press everywhere<\/a> but you wouldn’t know it to read US\/UK gay news sites where the music coverage is relentlessly narrow and insular. To date, only BUTT magazine<\/a> has mentioned Why Do The Heathen Rage?<\/em> but then BUTT have always stood apart from their parochial contemporaries. Never mind, here’s another fucking article<\/a> about “petite pop princess” Kylie Minogue.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “By the letter of the law, Ulysses<\/em> was obscene. Obviously, gratuitously, relentlessly obscene.” Josh Cook<\/a> on censorship and dangerous books. One of my own dangerous publications, the fifth issue of the Lord Horror comics series, Hard Core Horror<\/em> (declared obscene<\/a> in a UK court in 1995), received a very belated review at The Comics Journal<\/em><\/a>. More censorship: Judy Bloom<\/a> on the perennial panics in US school libraries. Lest we feel superior to American prudery, Leena McCall’s painting<\/a> of a semi-naked woman caused some consternation in a London gallery last week.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Over and over, we\u2019re told that nobody buys [compact discs] anymore.” Steven Hyden<\/a> on the latest obituaries being written for a music format. Ten years ago the death of vinyl was being confidently predicted: “The physical presence of the popular song is gone,” Paul Morley<\/a> declared. Related: The death of mp3s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is nothing quite like Maryanne Amacher\u2019s third ear music. It is alarming. Some of her fellow artists never quite believed that their ears were not being damaged. Third ear music invades you, wraps inside your body, your head, your eyes \u2014 just like she says. You can\u2019t be sure, after a while, if the sounds you hear are those created by your ears or Maryanne Amacher.<\/p>\n

Stefany Anne Golberg<\/a> on the music of Maryanne Amacher<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 At Dangerous Minds: Nothing Lasts Forever<\/em><\/a> (1984), Bill Murray in a “lost sci-fi comedy set in a totalitarian New York City”.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More Joyce (there’s always more Joyce): Humument Images to Accompany James Joyce’s Ulysses<\/em> by Tom Phillips<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Another celebration of Penda’s Fen<\/em> by David Rudkin<\/a>, and another reminder that it’s still not available on DVD.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stairway to Heaven: Atlas Obscura on the Gustave Moreau Museum<\/a>, an essential stop if you visit Paris.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mix of the week: Secret Thirteen Mix 121 by Higher Intelligence Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 MetaFilter has a wealth of links to pulp magazine archives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Yan Nascimbene<\/a>\u2019s illustrations for Italo Calvino’s stories.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rebecca Litchfield’s Orphans of Time<\/a> and Soviet Ghosts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 RIP Charlie Haden<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Going Home<\/em><\/a> (1972) by Alice Coltrane (Charlie Haden, bass) | Earth<\/em><\/a> (1974) by Joe Henderson Featuring Alice Coltrane (Charlie Haden, bass) | Malkauns<\/em><\/a> (1975) by Don Cherry (Charlie Haden, bass)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
