\u2022 December is over-stuffed with enervating cultural lists, most of them reminding you of things which received enough attention earlier in the year. Better value than these\u2014and always unpredictable\u2014is John Waters<\/a>‘ choice of favourite films; unpredictable and enlightening are the Secret Satan selections at Strange Flowers which come in two flavours: books originally published in English<\/a> and books translated from other languages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Flash Of The Spirit<\/em> (1988), a collaboration between Jon Hassell and African group Farafina (with production by Hassell plus Brian Eno & Daniel Lanois), receives its first ever reissue on double-vinyl<\/a> and CD<\/a> next year. The last piece on the album is the 11-minute Masque (Strength)<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “In 1968, Federico Fellini decided he was going make the greatest homosexual movie ever made. What he meant by a homosexual movie, no one was quite sure, but it was going to be great.” Paul Gallagher<\/a> on Federico Fellini’s delirious (and distinctly homosexual) Satyricon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Here’s the typography of the next decade; the age of font minimalism is coming to a close,” says Rachel Hawley<\/a>. I’ve been using Didones for the past decade so I’ll carry on happily ignoring the trends.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More obituaries for comic artist Howard Cruse: Justin Hall<\/a> at The Comics Journal<\/em>; Trudy Ring<\/a> at The Advocate<\/em>; and Richard Sandomir<\/a> at the New York Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Cowley records a kind of utopian sleaze that\u2019s breathtaking.” Brett Josef Grubisic<\/a> reviews Patrick Cowley’s sex journal of the 1970s, Mechanical Fantasy Box<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At the BFI: Carmen Gray<\/a> on where to begin with Sergei Parajanov, and Matthew Thrift<\/a> on 10 essential Fritz Lang films.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A promo video<\/a> by Julian House for Paul Weller’s In Another Room<\/em> EP which is released in January by Ghost Box.<\/p>\n
