A great image and a great quote - from a great poem and poet! One of Blake’s more political/prophetic/apocalyptic works. From William Blake’s “The Grey Monk,” ca. 1804. Unsure of the artist or who made this meme. —0liver Sheppard

Brecht quote from the back of a shirt I have of Texas hardcore band WORLD BURNS TO DEATH. Quote’s probably more relevant now than when the shirt design came out in 2005 or so. Came out around the time of the Austin band’s “Cease to Exist” DVD on Prank Records. —0liver Sheppard

The new episode of the CEREMONY audio podcast is up! In the spirit of the moment, the new episode is all about anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, pro-LGBTQ, anti-war, and anti-capitalist songs that have been made by Gothic Rock and Dark Postpunk bands. There are newer dark bands (Tears for the Dying, Christ vs Warhol, Final Rites, Shadow Age) alongside foundational bands (Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Killing Joke), and others. 🦇 There’ll be some "liner notes" (or article) about the rationale / methodology behind choosing these particular songs, and that article will be published on a separate website some time soon. This is not an exhaustive song list, and in fact there may be a Part 2. 🖤 CEREMONY is a monthly club night at The Nines in Deep Ellum in Dallas, Texas. The next event is Wednesday, June 10th, 2020.

Emily Dickinson’s verse weighed heavily on my mind when writing a few of the individual thirteen nocturnes that form the second section of Thirteen Nocturnes (my book & second collection of verse). The above untitled poem by Dickinson is one my favorites by her; two lines from it form a prefatory quote at the beginning of my poem “Nocturne No. 13.” (Specifically: “And so of larger – Darknesses – / Those Evenings of the Brain –”) – 0liver
