Y'all know about Channel 42?

Stunning!!
Frog's Breath from Spindlebone's Video Decay: An Experience Which Will Seem Completely Real. The original version of the song appeared on our 1st album, Beats In The Witch House
The video utilizes degraded footage from educational films on the life cycle of frogs, as well as pieces of La Grenouille (The Frog), a 1908 silent short film directed by Spanish filmmaker Segundo de Chomón, known for its pioneering hand-colored cels, stop-motion effects, and surreal scenes, heavily influenced by Georges Méliès. We're told the overall effect of the pairing is rather unsettling.
Were you familiar with La Grenouille before you saw this video?
YES!! I love old, silent, experimental films!! Especially put to new music!
Yeah, I think... didn't this inspire Lady Gaga to do something or something?
NO!! Thanks, Spindlebone! The more you know, y'know!?
Nope and I didn't watch the video so... raspberries to you, you old witch!

This was my introduction to what Chaos Magix are all about. Absolutely changed the course of my life and practice. I could not possibly express how it affected me.
It is truly a treasure for the ages.
On April 22, 2026, its author departed from Earth, destinations unkown.
Rest in Chaos, Peter J Carroll.
Video Store Memories and a pic from K-mart
Long before Blockbuster became the scourge of the video world, we had stores like Video World, Movie Mart, Video-To-Go, AVN American Video Network with 16, 000 (milliontrillionbazillion) movies! And many, many others. It wasn't unusual for them to hold some sort of local event or meet and greet.
These were taken at a Movie Gallery, if memory serves, where my buddy, Justin, and I were brought to an almost certainly unlicensed visit by a certain popular extraterrestrial. Also, Billy Bob of Showbiz Pizza fame was there, but that's a discussion for another day.
In my early youth I had thoughts of being a scientist or an astronaut, mostly to create and/or befriend an alien. After I saw E.T. though, that changed. I didn't like the way they treated E.T., but I still wanted create and befriend aliens. So I got into special effects.
When I was 11, my friends and I were regularly dropped off at the Fashion Square mall. Across the street there was a theatrical make-up store that also had magic tricks and masks and how-to books and mags. It was called Paramount (until the cease and desist) and I ended up making friends with the owner, Madge. She hooked me up with a special effects guy she knew, Allen Duckworth. I ended up spending the day at his house one day and he showed me how to make eye mechanisms and hand mechanisms and different things in his workshop. Then he showed me his little gallery of monster suits and puppets. And guess who was hanging there...
It was E.T.
Allen was the scientist guy holding E.T. at the Movie Gallery! The synchronicity still blows my mind and warms my heart.
And just today I found out that he later went on to do some set construction for a 1988 straight to VHS that is a featured Best of the Worst favorite of mine called... Christmas With Dennis.
The Polaroid looking picture was taken at my local K-mart. This E.T. was a mask, gloves, and sheet type, closer in quality to the creepy ass Easter Bunny I loved that also visited K-mart and was quite possibly the same employee.
I'm going to ramble for a while. If you choose to follow along, please do. I'm going to make Spindlebone's page about Spindlebone's POV and talk from my perspective about Spindlebone over here. What I see in these 6 sick pics is progress. Beats in the Witch House is where I started gathering all I had done audio wise, for film or project soundtrack or just for pleasure, up to that point. Since life had put me in a position where I had to step back from film and, to a large degree, any sort of group project, it was nice to find I already had a really good base to begin my own musical endeavor. I decided I was going to do this despite not being a musician in the proper sense, but with Audacity, both the boldness and the sound program. I have ideas, seeds planted by all the things I have admired that need to come into the light and flourish. I have narratives and imagery that seem to me best expressed through sound and music. I have some skills, but I need more. I have to keep learning. As I learn, I build not only skills, but praxis and lore. Each lesson produces... well, something. Each album is a test and then a testament to what I've learned. On the one hand, I'm telling a story, in essence, about a witch-led, backwater, spectral, electro-jug, cosmic horror, puppet band with this music. On the other, the music is telling a story about me, about my successes, failures, and near misses. I'm not always comfortable with what it has to say in that regard. I'm still trying to make the music I really want to make. These albums are the products of the process of getting there. The whole project is a sort of puzzle. The songs have somewhat obvious genealogy for those devils interested in the details. Of which, to be real, I hope there are many. Maybe you're one of them. Follow the throughline of all 6 albums. Listen to all of Spindlebone. See if you can figure it out. There will be lyrics and vocals eventually for some pieces, but admittedly, I fear the "and then they started singing" trap, i.e. The song started off really cool... and then they started singing. Still that's different for everyone I suppose. Not everyone loves Tom Waits' voice like I do and other people who are really into Coil, like I am, actually love it when they sing, like I generally don't. I'll be throwing my hat in the ring someday soon all the same. Maybe on Spider Basket (the new shit). Who can know? I'm also thinking of releasing an album, tentatively titled Bone Drones, made of mostly longer placeless pieces, for those into the trancier stuff. Although, some of the more alien things will likely end up on the forthcoming We Are Not From Here, as well. We'll talk about that later. I know "no one is listening" and that's truly something of a boon right now. It allows me to grow in the dark until I can glow in the dark. It means my influences are my own. It's not entirely a choice, even so. I have to do it whether anyone is listening or not. And it seems this music is not really like other things. It is distinct. The greater majority of the things I listen to, trying to find family for Spindlebone, can sound so uncomfortably clean to my ear, some even clinical, nearing sterility. Spindlebone is most certainly not sterile. If anything it's probably infected. Still, even though it is spreading, I often have to remind myself that this music is meant to stay occult and I'm not striving for fame.
What I'm striving for is musical infamy. You're invited to the show!
I'm fed up with "maybe later".
Almost slept through my whole five hour energy again. Now I only have like 15 minutes of energy left.
The Wii Towai tribe of Papua New Guinea believes in mystical spirit birds that sit by waterfalls, acting as guardians between the physical and spiritual worlds. These birds are said to carry messages from ancestors and serve as omens, guiding the tribe in important decisions. The tribe also creates intricate ceremonial masks, which represent these spirit birds and ancestral beings. Worn during rituals and ceremonies, the masks are believed to channel the spirit's energy, offering protection, wisdom,and a connection to the unseenworld.

Special guest Arthur Cullipher joins Ben, David, and Scott for a deep dive into the year 1980. We're going through the year's 100+ releases,
Hey weirdoes, some fiends of mine have started a podcast thing and have invited me to be a guest on Sunday the 23rd to pimp some Spindlebone and go Cruising back to the year 1980. A lot was going on back then and, while not all of it was horror, we sure do have some gems! Films like Humanoids from the Deep, Fade to Black, The Fog, The Changeling, The Children, Christmas Evil, and Maniac just to name a few! Plus freak out movies like Forbidden Zone, The Apple, Flash Gordon, and Xanadu!! We're going to be talking about all of them and I'd love to see you there in the chat! I'll keep an eye out for you... in this jar... don't let it get cold...
