Listening to a 1970 Love bootleg at the Fillmore West, that Paul of Albums That Should Exist cleaned up. It’s the seventies, so Arthur Lee is heavier, more Hendrix influenced than the insurmountable “Forever Changes”. The show is pretty great. 🎵
I found a little command line program, ftb, to align markdown tables. Very useful. I use it as a Neovim filter, as I recently blogged about. 💽
Häxan, 1922
Impressive visuals for the time, and slow paced. The opening segment is all still images with text boxes. The conclusion draws some I think for the time progressive parallels between witchcraft persecution and the then modern treatment of women, but it sounds ignorant from now modern knowledge. Interesting from a history of film perspective, and there’s some great shots of nuns sticking out their tongues.

I enjoyed this. I don’t know what I was expecting, but this surprised me with how dirty it was, in that American way where it’s obsessed with sex and also a bit prudish and scared (oh the deviants!). I can’t hate a New Jersey mystery, even if it doesn’t much resemble anything I’ve known in the state. Fun to read after the excellent Murder on Sex Island.
