Thanks for one of the best documentaries ever made, a wonderful (if somewhat middling) album, and all those really shitty films. We were watching the MST3K episode Starcrash last night, talking about how cool it was that he was still around. He was already dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL2VaMwJRFc04 Oct 2026 09:14 +0000at://did:plc:2z3ceflfwr7svpmsogj3oaor/app.bsky.feed.post/3mx22s5jjws2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/shaynek.bsky.social/post/3mwpvj7rnas2uI'm feeling introspective tonight, that happens sometimes when the past comes to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdL_dquSXX8&list=PLP0IenmeCOtypIobK3p6ugi1yZsBANWiA30 Sep 2026 08:13 +0000at://did:plc:2z3ceflfwr7svpmsogj3oaor/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwpvj7rnas2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/shaynek.bsky.social/post/3mw3halordc2yAutumn's coming on, it's cold here tonight and it looks like highs in the low 60s for a few days.

There's thick smoke everywhere, the sky was like if Mordor was in Carcosa and I had to put tape and plastic on a few windows and doors, but it's staying nice and clear in here now.

I am lucky to know all his work inside and out. The Box, which came out in 2022, is an incredible collection. I love this book and I'm sure some of you would, too. You should give it a read and let me know what you think.29 Apr 2026 23:58 +0000at://did:plc:2z3ceflfwr7svpmsogj3oaor/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkockujgek2khttps://bsky.app/profile/shaynek.bsky.social/post/3mkocgszso22kSome cool song or other! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISIsMzn9rTk&list=RDS-hWrnYud0U&index=629 Apr 2026 23:56 +0000at://did:plc:2z3ceflfwr7svpmsogj3oaor/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkocgszso22khttps://bsky.app/profile/shaynek.bsky.social/post/3mkj26lj2hc2eI've been away from here, what's going on?27 Apr 2026 21:45 +0000at://did:plc:2z3ceflfwr7svpmsogj3oaor/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkj26lj2hc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/shaynek.bsky.social/post/3mcovf5uuk223Listening to the whole of, what I consider one of the most beautiful and important albums ever made. I really think this is the first album that captured all of the elements of metal with very little blues, psych, and boogie. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_luQejI7xMeirGJfqNDQeFKelliauGfocw&si=6upahozrCayC7p7i18 Jan 2026 10:14 +0000at://did:plc:2z3ceflfwr7svpmsogj3oaor/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcovf5uuk223https://bsky.app/profile/shaynek.bsky.social/post/3m3wkoyfdlc2aListening to Tim Buckley to fight the Despair.
