Tomorrow's newsletter (which is mostly me being angry about curtains and dust in a dead man's house) is in the send queue, delivery scheduled for +/-0700 tomorrow morning. More moving of things awaits.

I/O – Peter Gabriel

Gabriel’s first album in 20 years (since the personally creative direction-altering UP) is a masterwork, replete with amazing, unsettling cover art. Not sure I can add much more to that other than I’m considering buying that huge vinyl set that won’t be here until who knows when because it’s that good. One of the year’s best.

FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA (trailer)

Ohfuckyes.

First time working according to my old work schedule since the last few months unleashed hell and it feels so good to be back.

D yellow but not DD yellow in posable plastic

Staring up and in circles around the Paintshop, as is my wont when I'm getting nowhere quickly, I'm fascinated that none of my yellow-costumed Daredevil figures, variant or otherwise, ToyBiz or Hasbro, use the DD symbol of Wally Wood's two yellow and red costume issues (five and six, feat the first of his changes to the suit before the all-red switch in seven): they all use the single D. Not sure why things worked out this way – or if this extends to the figures I don’t have, or why I've become fascinated with it (other than I needed something to stare at), or why I felt compelled to share it, but here it is. DD Yellow doesn’t get enough posable plastic love so I suppose we can add that grave injustice to the world’s list.

UTOPIA – Martin Küchen

From the saxophonist of yesterday's EarBliss, a haunting collection of free jazz compositions that immediately conjured the films of Carl Th. Dreyer, F.W. Murnau, and silent Fritz Lang – but compositions that, each and all, both stand on their own and flow from one evocative soundscape to the next. Superb.
