The Cafe Kaput Podcast
Jon Brooks, of the hauntological unit The Advisory Circle, is podcasting. Am downloading the first podcast now. I have a great and well-documented fondness for all the creatures of Ghost Box Records, of which The Advisory Circle is one.

Night Music: Indignant Senility
On Type Recordings:
"Using a handful of dusty Wagner pieces (no doubt scored from one of Portland, Oregon's many thrift stores), he has stretched and distorted the hallowed tones into something indescribably dark and beautiful. Like David Lynch's peerless Eraserhead soundtrack before it, this is music that sounds as if you are being dragged through rusted pipes and hearing the distant swell of broken gramophones playing in unison. Maherr has created music that is at all times exquisite but...

"The world's mega-cities are merging to form vast "mega-regions" which may stretch hundreds of kilometres across countries and be home to more than 100 million people, according to a major new UN report." MEGA-CITY ONE!

NEXTWAVE: Ultimate Collection
I got a package of these the other day from Marvel, which I guess means it was published sometime in February. It collects all 12 issues of NEXTWAVE, which were previously released in two 6-issue collections, THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT and I KICK YOUR FACE.

I presume this is the dominant collection now, as the other two were released ...
IRON MAN: EXTREMIS Hardcover Reissue

FREAKANGELS Volume 4: The Covers
I think these are out in late June. As ever, the book is released in three different formats.
The paperback:
The hardback:

T-shirt Of The Week #015: STOP IMAGINING ME
TOTW is basically a joke that Ariana and I pull each week in our joint guise as the International Electrophonic Unit. Basically, we take some of the stupider things I've said on Twitter and elsewhere, often in a state of extreme alcoholic refreshment or severe sleep deprivation, and put them on a t-shirt. Ariana set up a Cafe Press store (because this is a joke and engaging with a serious maker of t-shirts would be less funny to us), and… well, once a week, here we are.

Station Ident: See My Headguts Pulse
Templesmith took this photo at Atomic Comics in Phoenix AZ.
Good morning. This is warrenellisdotcom. That's me on the door, minus my protective brain shielding. Obviously the primitive yet enlightened staff of Atomic Comics worship at this makeshift shrine.
It's the toilet door, isn't it?

LEVERAGE writer/producer John Rogers, on how he works:
I write to the sound of weeping children. Warren Ellis gave me an MP3 of weeping children.
