Claudia's Lament

Watching Bohemian Rhapsody and imagining the authorized "print the legend" biopic of Claudia Welles.

J: Except she died of ennui
Me: Like that ever stopped biopics.

I Wanna Be Your Gold

The women's figure skating final was lovely as usual until the depressing end.

Though I was not expecting to hear Iggy Pop.

David Bowie at 75

Live without your sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
I can't live within you

David Bowie, Within You

Album of the year, in a year when like five other albums I liked came out, Halsey: If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power.

Halsey, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power

Halsey, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power
Produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

Thanks to Shawn for the link

C: with an accompanying IMAX film as the source of its lyric videos which look like Marie Antoinette by way of Rembrandt and also rather like Convention Of Thorns

Billie Eilish, Happier Then Ever

The all important new chronicle question... theme song.

I can see it clear as day
You don't really need a break
Wanna see what you can take
You should really run away
Billie Eilish, Oxytocin

(Obviously a Vampire game theme including the line "I wanna do bad things to you" might be too on the nose, but...)

CHVRCHES, Screen Violence

CHVRCHES, new album, kind of angry, bit spooky.

Inaugural gig held in the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. C-bomb and all, because we're like that as a people. Part 1, part 2.

Vampires in Goth clubs

Aesthetic and the baseline reluctance for countercultures to invoke mainstream authorities. Gothic culture's affectations make for a default baseline Masquerade, and the darker emotionality allows Kindred to indulge the memory of what it means to be alive.

Maneskin

Pretty decent Jane's Addiction fan band wins Eurovision.
