Ike Reiko Blues

Don't you just hate it when you've plugged the iPod* into the speakers, shoved it on shuffle and an Ike Reiko sexgasping orgasmatrack comes on just when your Mum's visiting?




Forgot to say that you can find some more on Ike Reiko at the ever-reliable, steamroller of a Blog, Mutant Sounds... which may have been where I first came across her...

Actually, during a brief Google for more on Ike Reiko (I won't say my search terms) I found a whole series of stuff on this blog which I'd completely forgotten about. Although now, An Idiot's Guide is clearly a doyen of taste and discrepancy and general good grammer way back in the past it was nothing more than an odd repository of solarised women and slutty record covers.

Check these out: Babe-a-licious Times!

I'm ashamed, but I still think I might return to those times, sometime soon.

Bloggers' WAGs

One day up and the debate begins...

Who do you believe?

Blink

Well, I can't believe that Doppelganger hasn't mentioned Blink yet, maybe he's recharging his Psychodynamics....

It was good though, wasn't it? Freaked the hell out the kids in a way that nothing else has so far - blown to buggery our Winter walks in the dark where we used to play hide and seek in the graveyard ...

(Yeah, they'll probably turn out little goths but I'm trying to pretend it's a social experiment).

Very Sapphire and Steel, I thought - though without the elegaic pacing and the dripping ordinariness of that programme.

Didn't like the fangs though, didn't need them, preferred the blank beauty of the statues when they didn't turn nasty - the fangs detracted from the horror, especially because the murders weren't murders at all, or were Quantum murders, murders that readjust the timelines rather than the bloodlines.

More like accidents than murders and scarier because of it. That Coil phrase - "murder in reverse".



AnythingWill be alrightIf you come outIn the nightWith your life sewn openBreath inPut the bone back inBuried under the skinMurder in reverseOut of timeOut of placeOut of spite Swallow the spikeThe only thing to fearIs fear itself...


And those 2 new people, Sallow Sparrow and the guy, surely sidekicks in waiting: bet that bookshop they run becomes some kind of depository of arcane knowledge from all around the Galaxy, bet the Doctor keeps being in need of info. from that shop or something... maybe they'll get a spinoff series, investigating creepy houses and abandoned places (okay being Sapphire and Steel), a bit like those people who lurk around in old abandoned missile siloes nr Axminster.

maybe themed on those abandoned place people...


C'mon Doctor Who Turn the whole thing into a Thomas Ligotti ( Lovecraft would do - though then you tend to get more tentacles) novel, keep the Claws of Axos blankness, maybe even find a genre and stick to it... less of this skipping around from atmosphere to atmosphere, episode to episode, make it downbeat for a whole series then switch to sexromp in the next...
