Greeting. Tonight’s creature-feature is the King of Gonzo. Digression after digression yet somehow it is all linked together by the time you are done reading. Beautiful, drunken right time right place or politically in/out of tune master of the typewriter?

Well here’s what I wanted to share: a neat-o link. Or, simply click the picture above if you fancy.
Greetings brigands. I realize I have not posted in awhile. I have no-one to blame but myself, and the internet.
Just this evening I participated in my first ever line-battle training session for Mount and Musket: a popular mod for the already popular game Mount and Blade. A group of fiends on Reddit created a brigade, and you can align yourself with one of many regiments, including cavalry. The group uses the mod and its server to recreate Napoleonic era line warfare.
I aligned myself with the fighting 33rd and we practiced line drills and melee combat. Despite my sketchy Canadian internets, my first foray into virtual line warfare went well. The commanders were helpful and explained all the 1337 moves to us nublets.
Here’s a screen:

Very cool stuff. The community is passionate and welcoming, should provide great fun during the long winter months.
The game is available for purchase through steam

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women.
I’ve wanted to do this post for awhile. While it is easy for ill informed folk to dismiss him as a sex crazed and severely damaged person who committed a copious amount of unspeakable evils, we should take a minute to think. Before you align yourself with this opinion, let us look at the other side of Mr.Crowley. Many men of supposed genius they tend to have certain “habits” (for Crowley it seemed any drug under the sun, bizarre “sex-magic” rituals while he wasn’t being an avid mountain climber)but if we can put these sometimes unfortunate but usually oh so necessary habits to the side for a second we could perhaps see the truth behind their messages.

Crowley’s infamous motto from the Book of the Law was “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” Does this mean you can prance around and do whatever you please? Not quite. Many different interpretations have been put forth, and I shall put forth mine. I believe Crowley wants people to do what they want, without letting anything get in the way of your will to do so.
Crowley’s influence is still present today, as Thelemites gather and spread the word of the Great Beast throughout many lands. I came across an interesting translation Mr. Crowley did of the Tao Te Ching (Crowley spent some time in China) on this superb website the other day, and thought I would share that site with you here.
The Re-Animator is a fantastic horror film from 1985 based on an H.P. Lovecraft story Herbert West: Re-Animator. The film is centered around two medical students, one who happens to be a genius who has found the key to bringing the dead back to life. The film is outrageous and gory, plenty of filthiness to satisfy bloodthirsty movie go-ers. The movie is charming though and the story isn’t half bad, it only really seems over the top when the one character starts toting his own head around. If you love the charm of pure filthy reeking cheese, you should check it out.

I never thought I would do album downloads on here, but here goes. You all should check out Astrud Gilberto with the Wanderley trio on A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness. You can dance to it and you can relax to it. Appreciate some true beauty here for a second folks.

I saw the posting today on the homepage about the Big Lebowski while listening to a TVZ album. Thought I’d share a link to his cover of the rolling stone’s “dead flowers”. Dead flowers is one of my favourite songs, and I had never heard the actual rolling stones version until a few days ago. I only knew the cover version, that has become immortalized forever in the Coen Brother’s perfect film: the Big Lebowski. A truly great song and a truly great film. They both show human insecurities and how we attempt to deal with (or avoid) those insecurities, mistakes and regrets. They both contain characters who are cast aside by the world they inhabit: they have lost their sense of purpose. Or have none at all. Or do they? Click the photo below to hear the song.
