Aka Saturday 8 July and Sunday 9 July aka a very lazy
weekend.
I tried my prochlorperazine prescription again to see if
anything had changed and it would have a positive effect, but no, like before
it just made me feel worse. Kinda like being drunk, but without any of the nice
effects of being drunk.
I watched a few films on Netflix, but they were pretty much
just meh. So meh, that I can’t remember what they were, except for Here Alone.
Here Alone is obviously very low budget, but it does make the most of it. It
has a very small cast (effectively just three people) and one location (the
woods) and does a great job of showing the consequences of an apocalyptic
effect on a family. It also packs in more emotion than an entire season of The
Walking Dead.
I also spent a load of time backing up my hard drive, which
was dull but necessary and at least I’ll have everything if the hard drive goes
down.
Also, this was the 20th anniversary week of Primal
Scream’s Vanishing Point album being released.
Vanishing Point is probably my favourite Primal Scream album
and is the album that got me into the band. I can still remember being in my
student flat, listening to Mary-Anne Hobbs Breezeblock show and hearing Kowalski
for the first time (with that heavy, heavy bassline) and being blown away.
The album is really eclectic, with rock ‘n’ roll, house,
dub, ambient and more sounds in the mix and was really complimented by the B-sides
and remixes. And this article does a better job than I could of explaining how
good the album is:
I also read Batgirl #12, Mother Panic #8 and Cave Carson Has A
Cybernetic Eye #9. Batgirl is a great little done-in-one-issue superhero story involving
a teleporter murder, ghosts and swimming pools.
Mother Panic and Cave Carson are both in the middle of multi-issue
storylines and are developing/continuing those storylines, setting up dominoes
to be toppled in later issues and building momentum. Cave Carson also has a
nice little discussion on the nature of reality.
