Following this thread to add to the reading list
Let's say a person wanted to avoid other essays they were writing and started thinking about the current wave of New Weird descendants. Mordew, The Works of Vermin, Dawnhounds, the Tyrant Philosophers, City of Glass, what else? Maybe the Locked Tomb. Weird fiction in secondary cities, what've we got
There’s “new weird”, and “the New Weird”
Wow, even bigger than Wisconsin's Foxconn project!

If you would like a cost-effective way to check out R. Ostermeier, "A Trick of the Shadow" is available as an ebook here: broodcomb.co.uk?page_id=465
e-Books – Broodcomb Press
broodcomb.co.uk
Broodcomb Press has a limited-time deal on a bundle of the four collections by "R. Ostermeier" - all tales from "the Peninsula" (and the pinnacle of today's weird fiction IMO); see broodcomb.co.uk?page_id=84 (postage outside UK & Europe is brutal, but better than 4 single packages)

I'm feeling (mostly) better this week, so Permutations is back tonight! 8-10 PM EDT on WVUD 91.3 FM in Newark, Delaware; online streams at tunein.com/radio/WVUD-9... and 128.175.76.123:8000/stream/2/

It's like my cats: "I see you're walking down the stairs, would you like me to walk very slowly right in front of your feet?"
i see you're doing something online that you have effortlessly done 100,000 times. would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? w
From the liner notes: "IHTLP continues to draw nourishment from the radical past, cherry-picking and re-purposing scraps and slivers from a rag bag of forebears: Ornette, Don Cherry, Miles, Sun Ra, Laurie Anderson, Jon Hassell."
I Hold the Lion's Paw - Potentially Interesting Jazz Music - really great fusion of jazz and electronica from Melbourne quartet; "Progressive Opposition" (track 7) is a standout, and Emily Bennett gives a bravura vocal performance in "When the Earth and Sky Conspired" (track 9)

Life is just one damn thing after another
"as this reality’s Sorcerer Supreme I have certain duties I take seriously" is my favorite line I've read all week
No Permutations tonight; it's my fifth day of being sick and I can't even string a bunch of songs together

Universal Affirmation Ensemble - Unconditional Propositions - the band name and cover art say spiritual jazz, and it is there but overlaid on a post-rock base; cited influences are "Do Make Say Think, 1980's King Crimson, and Balinese Gamelan"
