\u2022 Resonance FM’s Weird Tales For Winter<\/em><\/a> has returned beginning with a presentation of The Gateway of the Monster<\/em><\/a>, one of the better Carnaki tales by William Hope Hodgson. The story is read by Moon Wiring Club<\/a>‘s Ian Hodgson (no relation) and the musical atmospheres are provided by The Advisory Circle. I ought to have posted this news yesterday since you’ll have missed the broadcasting of the first half but the second half will go out at midnight (UK time) on Monday. Details here<\/a>, and the next release on the Caf\u00e9 Kaput label in February will be the soundtrack, Music for Thomas Carnaki (Radiophonic Themes & Abstracts)<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Keep Calm and Carry On Image Generator<\/a> lets you work your own variations on the ubiquitous poster<\/a>. It wouldn’t work for me, however, so I rolled up my sleeves and made my own. This may be good as a CafePress design, yes?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Interplay<\/em><\/a> is an album by John Foxx and The Maths due to be released on March 21st. As with last year’s collection of Foxx instrumental pieces, DNA<\/em><\/a>, the package design is by Jonathan Barnbrook. John Foxx first came to prominence as the lead singer in Ultravox (do I need to say “of course”? Okay…\u201cof course”) and Ultravox’s debut album<\/a> was part-produced by Brian Eno. It’s been painfully obvious recently (and it pains me to say it) that Foxx’s DNA<\/em> was a far more accomplished and engaging work than Eno’s recent collection of over-hyped instrumentals<\/a>.

\u2022 Word Horde 2.0<\/a>, “a substantial archive of manuscript material, correspondence, and books and printed matter, mostly signed” from the William Burroughs archives can be yours for $260,000. Related: William Burroughs’ Wild Boys photos<\/a>. Also: Rudy Rucker on David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Nabokov described how \u2018a modern taxonomist straddling a Wellsian time machine with the purpose of exploring the Cenozoic era\u2019 would encounter the following series of events in the evolution of these butterflies…” The Royal Society<\/a> confirms that a contentious theory of Vladimir Nabokov’s concerning the descent of butterfly populations was accurate.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The work of G\u00e9rald Bertot aka Thomas Owen, a Belgian author of weird fiction, is explored at A Journey Round My Skull<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Other Side of the Wind<\/em><\/a>, Orson Welles’ unfinished film from 1972, may finally be given a release.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jon Savage celebrates Roy Harper<\/a> and his extraordinary Stormcock<\/em> album.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Philip Pullman<\/a> wants the Tory philistines to leave our libraries alone.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rick Poynor takes a d\u00e9rive<\/em> through the arcades of Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Space music new and old<\/a>.<\/p>\n
