Mortal Coil






Death! The end of all our trails! Is it nigh? Perhaps...for some! After all, it's all around us!






"When do you fully realize that people actually die?" Hollywood seems obsessed with this question, from Stand By Me, River's Edge, Four Weddings and a goddamn Funeral, hell, any movie with a funeral, for that matter.







I haven't been to many funerals in my life, but people in movies sure do seem to end up in the graveyard a whole lot..

Which is what brings us to this messed-up gem from the mid-90's, Cemetary Man. It's Italian, crazy and features necrofilia and multiple undead boy scouts getting shot in the head, so... yeah, there's that. And tits. Award winning stuff, right there. 

Definitely NSFW in almost every way. Enjoy!  







Everything dies, Billy...everything!!




Sale at Harvey Nichols, guys!? Quick, everyone kill each other over a small piece of sushi and a pastel shirt! 





Of all the Springsteen songs about life & deaaaaath, Lost in the Flood is my go-to track.








Apparently, after Gram Parsons died, his father decided to have him buried,  against what was stated in his will.

So, his friends decided to get really high, and steal his body from the mortuary. And they took it to the desert and set it on fire, supposedly after visiting a few bars and parties with the body in tow, raving that it was what Gram had requested whilst he was still amongst the walking dead.

Now, for some odd reason, there was no law against desecration of a human corpse in New Mexico (not sure about the state, story fuzzy!) at the time, so they were let off and Mr. Parson's father buried the remains.





The Fall is by no means an excellent movie, but for 2:47, it is a masterpiece. Visually amazing, but its all style and zero substance, with lame, pappy heart string pulling and probably one of the most irritating children ever to appear in a film. 





Our minds have been bloown!

But, hey, it's always terrific to hear about flying body parts at a marathon, right? What a horrible thing to happen. Heyy-yoo, here come those horrible thoughts, I can't help thinking, if some terrorist really wanted to scare people/piss people off, why not go after the Masters Tournament? You wanna see people get angry? Bomb a golf course mid play! You don't even have to kill anyone, just blow up a huge chunk of the course and watch people lose their shit! Totally a joke this, I respect the PGA and all it's patrons! No,no.. not the 9-iron, I'm sorry!

The Other Son Part II

THE OTHER SON PART II  (Link to Part I) As Abiah convalesced, he saw many things.  A mountain in flames. A sea churning with oily creatures. A goat with the head of a snake. The sky raining putrid flesh. The siren would appear and comfort him. As he writhed in his condition, she would caress his wounds.  She would whisper to him of the world as it grew and molt. Tribes were fractured and frayed, pillage and rape were rife. Humanity cried out for salvation in despair.  The siren sang and spoke of a great devotion. Not unto God, but unto love. The love of fellow earthly entities, beast and man alike. Upon the siren's breast shone a silver "T" that radiated with such strength that it burnt Abiah's eyes. As Abiah marvelled at the shining spectre, she would sing: "Joy is not the same for thee as it twas and whilst for me Love is shared by all As we rise we will fall Sweetest love, I do not go For weariness...

The Other Son

THE OTHER SON (draft) It was no ordinary birth.  Twins were highly uncommon at the time, generally resulting in death for both mother and progeny.  The holy men said it was a twin virgin birth, truly a blessing, a gift from God above.  Many discussions were had; they quickly agreed that only one child could truly be chosen, so one was sent away to live in isolation with the shepherds. Abiah never knew his origins as a child; he never questioned his keeper Sardis over this.  Sardis taught him the way of the sheep. The grazing, shearing of wool, the gentleness that the sheep's eye reflected back.  “Of all of God's creatures, Abiah, the sheep is best. It is generous to man both with fleece and with flesh,” Sardis would often remark. “But, like man with God, they require the guiding care of the shepherd” Sardis would write small poems and recite them daily to Abiah. “The Shepherd loved His little lamb, And gave it His tender care... And follow...
