\u2022 Thanks of the week: to In Wild Air<\/a> for asking me to fill their list of six favourite things; to Hodderscape<\/a> for including my cover<\/a> for Jeannette Ng’s Under the Pendulum Sun<\/em><\/a> among their choice of best book covers of the year; and to Dennis Cooper<\/a> for listing this blog among his own end-of-year favourites.

\u2022\u00a0Mixes of the week: Seeing The Forest For The Trees by Gregg Hermetech<\/a>, FACT mix 631 by Zola Jesus<\/a>, and Secret Thirteen Mix 240 by Restive Plaggona<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Were a normally sexed person to enter such an establishment, he might be puzzled to see so many finely dressed men sitting there with soldiers, though he would find nothing particularly offensive. The friendships between homosexuals and soldiers forged here over sausage, salad and beer frequently endure for the full term of service, and often longer. The soldier returns home, living as a married farmer far from his beloved Berlin garrison, but many a uranian still receives freshly killed quarry as a token of friendship. Sometimes these relationships are even passed on to younger brothers; I know one case where a homosexual had relations with three brothers one after the other, all of whom were with the Cuirassiers.<\/p>\n

An extract from Berlin\u2019s Third Sex<\/a> by Magnus Hirschfeld, one of the new titles from Rixdorf Editions<\/a>. Ostensibly straight soldiers supplementing their income by having sex with “uranians” was still a common thing decades later, as detailed in John Lehmann’s In The Purely Pagan Sense<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 The Cremator<\/em> (1968) a film by Juraj Herz, was reviewed on these pages<\/a> a while ago. It’s now out on region-free blu-ray<\/a>. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wyrd Daze<\/em><\/a> returns with a free pdf, and a mix by The Ephemeral Man to download.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At the BFI: Chris Gallant<\/a> on where to begin with giallo<\/em> cinema.<\/p>\n
