The Critic 05:39
ontology on top of me bringing reality closer, closer trapped in between a mise-en-abyme of projected dream on the silver, silver buried beneath a sea of celluloid dream mummify me on the silver screen i remember you you've been transformed Into light gelatine blurs betray perspective i hold on to the picture-frame (it is) your coffin your colours are dead but your shadow lives on

Dead Leaves 05:01
emasculated sugarmarble trees flowing in glorious Berlin Springtime reverie black birds (not blackbirds) saw past three foot inches of dust hexagrammatical logic - you betrayed your ignorance in asking why brew death potion in a world of arsenic? death magick is fear no body - you had more questions on your mind, but like an anxious child, tapped your teeth with your tongue deafening, mute septum cleft in januskopf would you make love to dead leaves?

about

Hollywood, Hollywood…
Fabulous Hollywood…
Celluloid Babylon,
Glorious, Glamorous…
City delirious,
Frivolous, serious…
Bold and ambitious,
And vicious and glamorous.
Drama - a city-full,
Tragic and pitiful…
Bunk, junk, and genius
Amazingly blended…
Tawdry, tremendous,
Absurd, stupendous;
Shoddy and cheap,
And astonishingly splendid…
HOLLYWOOD!!

Lillian Gish London, UK

Lillian Gish are a 2-piece from South / East London, committed to combining psychedelia and industrial in such a way as to convince you to drop acid then immediately regret it. One is a classically-trained brooding Svengali, the other is a crazed transgender Kenneth Anger-obsessive. Together, they make music inspired by serial killers, Lewis Carroll and the underbelly of the Hollywood golden-age. ... more
