Snagged a copy of Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz’s The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries. https://t.co/D3jydm2Ftm

This episode of @ldipodcast put two books on my radar that I absolutely must read in 2022: Mojo Workin': The Old African American Hoodoo System by Katrina Hazzard-Donald and... Black Magic: Religion and the African American Conjuring Tradition by Yvonne P. Chireau https://t.co/T5FHudGmIB

Another cool resource that captures a band that definitely channeled the violence and chaos of their era is Greil Marcus’ early-‘10s book ‘The Doors: A Lifetime of Listening to Five Mean Years.’ I quote it a few times on the Trap episode. 6/6

My wonderful uncle stopped by and dished up stories about dropping acid and seeing The Cockettes and Sylvester in SF. Seriously wild times.

@jasonpwoodbury I think that's an exciting/revealing approach. I mention George P. Hansen's 'The Trickster and the Paranormal' a lot, but I do think it offers some interesting ways for both artists and critics to approach music and art.

.@p2chillPodcast's multi-episode interview w/ Wendy S. Painting, a PhD and author of 'Aberration in the Heartland of the Real: The Secret Lives of Timothy McVeigh,' is a serious deep dive. If I'm not mistaken, she doesn't do interviews often. https://t.co/LkL17jSBLX

Speaking of writers/thinkers doing a great job critiquing the disclosure media spectacle, as well as mapping the shadowy realms of military/intelligence disinformation, I just snagged @AdamGorightly's book 'Saucers, Spooks and Kooks: UFO Disinformation in the Age of Aquarius.' https://t.co/u7X4CIYmNH

I would dig a critique of Paul Schrader's First Reformed from the perspective of liberation theology, which in my opinion offers views on hope, despair, and political action not represented by Toller's asceticism nor the prosperity gospel of the Abundant Life church.

'Leatherface vs. Tricky Dick: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as Political Satire' is one of those titles that makes reading the book undeniable. @ViewsParallax https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/e/mharris/

The first, written by John Stickney for the Williams College paper in 1967, may contain one of the earliest published references to “Gothic Rock.” The piece revels in a band that feels new, violent and dangerous. The words “satanic, “terror” and “erotic” even appear. 2/6 https://t.co/rv4bBAo1Js
