The Witch (1920) by Mila von Luttich<\/a> for Die Muskete<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 “One thing that used to annoy Geff in particular\u2014I don’t think Sleazy cared so much\u2014was that the gay press hardly ever paid any attention to Coil. It really was the clich\u00e9 of, if you’re making disco bunny or house music then you might get covered in the gay press, but if you’re not doing something that appeals to that rather superficial aesthetic, which was the hallmark of the gay scene, they didn’t even deign to glance at you.” Stephen Thrower<\/a> talking to Mark Pilkington about Love’s Secret Domain<\/em> by Coil, and touching on an issue that I’ve never seen referred to outside the occasional Coil interview. Coil’s sexuality was self-evident from their first release in 1984 but they always seemed to be too dark and too weird for the gay press, and for the NME<\/em> according to this interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Gorey collected all sorts of objects at local flea markets and garage sales\u2014books, of course, though also cheese graters, doorknobs, silverware, crosses, tassels, telephone insulators, keys, orbs\u2014but he especially loved animal figurines and stuffed animals.” Casey Cep<\/a> on Edward Gorey\u2019s toys.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Last week it was a giant cat opposite Shinjuku station; this week at Spoon & Tamago<\/a> there’s a giant head floating over Tokyo.<\/p>\n

\u2022 DJ Food<\/a> delves through more copies of The East Village Other<\/em> to find art by underground comix artists (and Winsor McCay).<\/p>\n

\u2022 New music: My Sailor Boy<\/em><\/a> by Shirley Collins, and Vulva Caelestis<\/em><\/a> by Hawthonn.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “\u20ac4.55m Marquis de Sade manuscript acquired for French nation<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Dangerous Minds: The Voluptuous Folk Music of Karen Black<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Greydogtales: Montague in Buntlebury<\/a>.<\/p>\n
