Yaay a new episode of the Backlisted #podcast is out. #108, on the topic of "Remembrance Of Things Past" by Marcel Proust.

I'm 15 minutes in and already I feel happier.

I should have threaded the last three posts. I've been watching the 1994 movie Nadja, written & directed by Michael Almereyda.

Somebody uploaded Nadja to youtube if you care to watch it. It's probably been zoomed in or panned or cropped or whatever to fool the copyright algorithms, but here it is:

Lucy: "Monday I ate half a bagel, hot tea, and a can of coke. Tuesday I ate two diet cokes and a piece of pizza. Today I had a bag of M&M's. But I didn't eat the yellow ones."

Van Helsing: "Face it, Jim. She's a zombie."

Peter Fonda is great (and funny) as Van Helsing.

Renfield: "Do you mind if I sit in that chair? That's the chair I always sit in."

Cassandra: "Yes I do mind. I'm having a nervous breakdown."

Renfield: "I don't think you've been taking your medicine".

Cassandra: "I don't take medicine. I'm the nurse." ...

Renfield: "Well, maybe you should start taking it, because you don't look very well. And you're still sitting in my chair."

"We have come for the body of Count Voivoida Armenios Ceauşescu Dracula. I believe there is a wooden stake in the heart. You will take us to him."

"Note: the picture should be an expression of your brand identity, whether you're an individual or a brand/collective"

I hate it

Me and my friend DJ Cache are filling in for Proqxis at the arcade tonight. Cache & CEV @ Ground Kontrol Arcade #pdx 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM, no cover, 21 & over.

We'll be playing electro and IDM; house and techno. Probably some demoscene music too, since that's on my mind.

The DFWC2019 round 6 CPM winning run is beautiful. That slide. #quake3 #defrag #dfwc

Dune / I'm A Ram [AKA sapa.s3m]

I'm rendering and tagging Lassi Nikko's old mods tonight. #nowplaying

Legowelt / Crystal Cat

I've had this stuck in my head for a few days. #nowplaying . "Bronson Quest".

I'm going to have to rewatch Michael Almereyda's movie Nadja tonight now that I've thought about it. Here's the slightly misleading trailer:

I had seen parts of Cherry 2000 before, but that was my first time watching it in full. The campy tone was surprising. IMDB tells me Michael Almereyda wrote it; in that context it makes a lot more sense.

Lester, for example, reminds me of Peter Fonda's portrayal of Van Helsing in Almereyda's Nadja.

Thanks again #WeAreNameless .

I'm just now starting work on this year's tracker music show. Better late than never, I guess.

I think I'll play a bunch of Lassi Nikko.
