I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I have long been inspired not only by the music but by the graphic design and album art on Manfred Eicher’s ECM music label.
Here is my latest in a long running series of imaginary albums. And yes everything is imagined; the title, the group, the musicians, the song titles etc.
Below are the original photo followed by front and back covers respectively. How do you imagine it sounds?

So I’m sure we all have different tastes. But here are some of my favorite movies to watch as halloween approaches each year. Running the gamut from musical to silent I tend to like the more “nontraditional” films. Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy yadda yadda yadda just more over-used characters. So without further adieu in no particular order Here’s my 10 favorite movies to watch for Halloween.
Tod Browning’s FREAKS
THE CROW directed by Alex Proyas
F.W. Murnau’s NOSFERATU
ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW by Jim Sharman
CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON by Jack Arnold
SANTE SANGRE by Alejandro Jodorowsky
CITY OF LOST CHILDREN by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Marc Caro
THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE, HER LOVER – by Peter Greenaway

NAKED LUNCH by David Cronenberg
Favorite movies – halloween
caught dead
Living, one’s own terms
no judgement for suicide
Dying, ones own terms
********************
Sweet Sweet Suicide
The last exit from life’s stage
Stigmata of choice
********************
On a high blue bridge
She jumps, flying toward the earth
Releasing all cares
********************
It takes great courage
To take the reigns of death
There’s no mortal sin
4 haiku on death by suicide
by the dark water IV
No more dreams to live
Heart stops, brain ceases, life ends
A cold grave welcomes
*********************
Freedom on the wind
A bird will fall from the sky
Its heart beats no more
*********************
And when the end comes
Can there be beauty in death?
Flowers in the snow
yet 3 more haiku on death & dying
