Beneath the Panels: Nameless Issue #2

The second issue of Grant Morrison, Chris Burnham and Nathan Fairbairn's Nameless came out two weeks ago and I spent a pretty large amount of time going through it. There's not nearly as much material to "decode" in this one as Morrison comes clean with a lot, however as is always the case when researching anything with Occult ties, there are so many rabbit holes you end up falling through that, well, I think this installment of Beneath the Panels will add an extra sense of what is going on in the book. You can read it right now over on Joup.

A Mix for Shadows

Shadow Play from laserknee on 8tracks Radio.

I made this mix sometime ago while working on an earlier incarnation of the novel I'm writing. The novel is dark - but not too dark. And it's mysterious. And there's a smidge of teen angst (just a smidge - I ain't no billy corrigan). Like that time you walked through the house/forest/cemetery that everyone in town said was haunted. That prickly, anxious feeling that inspires more than it condemns. I made this mix to help keep the tone while writing. The book has morphed somewhat. It's gotten a hell of a lot better and coherent. But the tone still works. And besides, this is a pretty good mix.

I always forget about 8tracks. But it's a really cool site and a good way to discover new music.
