‘It was like she was possessed’: how Q Lazzarus made Silence of the Lambs’ most bewitching song – and then vanished

Her track Goodbye Horses soundtracked one of the 90s thriller’s most memorable scenes, but the singer ended up driving cabs and dying in obscurity. Now a new documentary lets her tell her story

This sounds fascinating

The Big Silent Hill 2 Retro, Ian-Style - Part 1 | Cleo and Ian Catch Up 001

IT’S HERE!

As part of our Silent Hill 2 commentaries, @cleolinda and I wanted to do a podcast-style discussion of our playthroughs. Cleo’s still in the midst of her playthrough, but I finished mine up in October, so we recorded a retrospective on that experience that was meant to last about an hour, hour fifteen. It lasted three hours. For your convenience, it has been split into 3 episodes that we’ll be releasing over the next few Saturdays.

Part 1 releases TODAY, and it covers my history with the franchise, some of the stuff that’s currently going on in the Silent Hill universe (or still to come), and a lot of general thoughts on the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake. Next week we’ll be digging into more of the specifics with the game itself and my playthrough. We hope you enjoy!

I finally got my paws on a copy of @cleolinda‘s book! If only I could get her to sign it then this would be perfection indeed. Oh, and I made a helm weave because why not.

I kind of love it like cake. With rainbow sparkles sprinkles. Carried in by ponies. Pink ponies. If I had a hard copy, I would snuggle it. I'm going to read the other two, but they'll have to wait until I reread the first one again. [...] A lot of people are really passionate about these books. Some of them love and defend them passionately; others... well. I'm not going to defend them any more than I'm going to defend Twinkies--you go and get yourself a Twinkie when you have a very specific kind of craving SUGARRRRR!. If you want gourmet pastry, or even a homemade cake, you know where to get that. If you're eating a Twinkie, you clearly know what you want and why you're eating it, and you know that it's not good to eat very many of them, but... you know... sometimes you just want one. And then when you're done you read it all over again. Apparently there are people who think that Twinkies count as fine dining, but... well, live and let live, I guess.

Cleolinda Jones, “My thoughts on Twilight, let me show you them”

This remains one of my favorite ways of expressing love of books and other media that maybe isn’t “high brow” or often not even particularly well written in the traditional sense, but is enjoyable regardless. I need to make an effort to use it more than “trash” because I really need to break the habit of calling stuff I love “trash” just because it’s fluffy and stars a woman instead  of a white dude named Skywalker, Bond, or Indiana.

The Big Silent Hill 2 Retro, Ian-Style - Part 2 | Cleo and Ian Catch Up 002

Part 2 of our Silent Hill 2 discussion releases TODAY! @cleolinda and I dig into my favorite musical moments from the game, how the remake provided Akira Yamaoka (and Bloober Team) with the opportunity to be so much more intentional with every detail, and an in-depth, beat-by-beat examination of the Stillness ending.

We Found Love in a Haunted Place

“Well, I’m scarred for life.” Thus spake my father, in a very bemused, matter-of-fact tone, as he, my brother, and I left the theater after seeing Christophe Gans’ 2006 movie Silent Hill. It was our introduction to the series, after only previously hearing about it when my brother went to a sleepover in the early 2000s where he played it and professed it to be “the scariest video game ever.” For…

THIS WEDNESDAY (4/16), 7PM EDT on twitch.tv/idoherty451: It’s all about Maria this week: the motel, the mansion, the Moongrove, and everything in between. Three pieces of music outline this journey, including a new one written for the remake, and I’ll be taking a deep dive on each one, outlining the subliminal story they tell about who Maria is and what she wants.

If you want to catch up, check out the YouTube playlist for my entire commentary thus far. MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUND!

@cleolinda ’s write-up and video commentary on the previous section, Blue Creek Apartments, can be found on her master post HERE. She's also been running into some tech issues with OBS, so if anyone can offer some assistance, please do!
