Notes on God

Notes on God

Hell can be described in a thousand ways, but heaven remains impossible to grasp.

At some point the screen became the world, and now we’re haunting it.

The ghosts of old standards, summoned for whatever comes next.

Broadcasting from somewhere between the bells of a temple and the heat of a night market.

A tribute to David Lynch that roams through the ruins of vintage ballads and slow-motion noir.

Anything worthwhile rests on a knife’s edge like the delicate art of falling asleep.

Slowing down my favorite songs has become a spiritual practice.

This man was the antichrist. Yes, he was what the end of civilization looked and sounded like.

It’s tempting to classify Death Prom as mere nostalgia, but it is a complicated haunting.

A few minutes after midnight in the Mojave desert, a preacher appears on a dead radio channel.

The artist’s obsession becomes the listener’s obsession.
