Yesterday was a write-off, work-wise. New Book DEATH BAR: In which I wrote the line “Did you have silver polyester over my head at some point?” Yeah., I know.  It gets better, I swear.  I hope. So America is now switching off in order to devour an almost unimaginably wide swarm of birds, or vegetarian [...]

And that’s it from me this week.  Back Monday.  Things are a hair less crazier here, so the site should be more active from Monday morning, and there are some things planned for the near future of the place. As ever, if you’ve got something you think I should be featuring here, warrenellis at gmail [...]

A new album by old mate of warren ellis dot com Kemper Norton?  I’ll have some of that.  And so will you.  Click through to buy for a very reasonable price, or stream the whole thing here.  G’night. Carn by Kemper Norton

See you next week, folks.  I leave you with the new record by Dirty Knobs, optimised for your Halloween enjoyment.  Click through and buy the whole 90-minute ambient soundtrack of skulls being slowly and loving crushed in hell wonder for a single Yanqui dollar. Whisky and the keyboard await.  Back Tuesday. Hallow by Dirty Knobs

Because every now and then, in the middle of the night, what you want is some classic Berlin School style synth washes.  And Lunar Miasma does the best ones.  G’night. Impermanent Nature (sicsic022) by Lunar Miasma

Some proper nighted, chilly dreampop to shut down with.  G’night. PUZZLES BY Datsyuk by Datsyuk

A very evocative collection of glitchy witch-ambient from Australia.  G’night. Fleeting Joy by Hollow Press

Some Arctic ambient from Russia to close with, complete with sparkling ice winds and strange digging machinery excavating graves in the snowfields.  G’night, folks. Pulse by Echo-ES

I do love Motion Sickness Of Time Travel.  Here, two excerpts from their new record, which (by the time you have read this) I have just bought on mp3 from Boomkat, who describe it in part as “a holographic collab between Tangerine Dream and Julianna Barwick in the year 2040.” Perfect.   G’night. Motion Sickness [...]

Cabbibo’s “Polar Excess,” off the ICEPUNK 2 compilation.  I’m at Kapow Comics Convention in London tomorrow, speaking onstage in the afternoon before running back home to work. Have a good weekend. Polar Excess by Cabbibo

I do like a bit of cosmic, and Giant Claw’s brilliantly named CLASH OF MOONS fires a huge information-rich pink laser of it.  Or, perhaps, a radiophonic burst from beyond space.  Either way, it’s a perfectly nice way to close out the night.  G’night. Clash of Moons by Giant Claw

What is the sound of being locked in a box, being transported to a bleak riverside, being gently slid into the river, sinking to the bottom and then being slowly enfolded by cold black waters, closing your eyes, opening them again some endless time later, realising you are conscious but not breathing, finding yourself in [...]

See you on Monday. We Make Life Sad by Nicholas Szczepanik

Didn’t get a thing done here today after all. So we’ll just close out with this: From their beautiful new record OPEN EXITS.  G’night. Related articles GUEST INFORMANT: Joseph Stannard (warrenellis.com) Night Music: Kristine Barrett (warrenellis.com) The Fonal Jukebox (warrenellis.com)

Some rather epic spookiness to close out with: (actual act name is a witchhausy unicode disaster that may not survive posting: I?????????????????????I   )

Songs for drifting away to.  Good night. Sun Drums by Sun Drums

For many reasons (work-related, health-related, burying-more-pets-related, just-bloody-tiredness-related), I just haven’t been able to get going with warrenellis.com so far this year.  So I’m switching the site to Pause for a couple of weeks.  Normal service will resume with a new episode of SPEKTRMODULE on March 9 or thereabouts. In the meantime, I want to leave [...]

Comics retailers! Please to order the first issue of ANNA MERCURY 2: ULTRASPACIAL DREADNOUGHT VANAHEIM next week or I’ll have mind-controlled slaves burn down your shops! Of course, if YOU, gentle reader, would like to secure a copy of this work, you can grab the order codes from the ANNA MERCURY microsite and communicate them [...]

Unbelievable. I missed a few Closedowns and people actually started missing them and complaining. So here’s Katie West. My day has mostly been eaten by phone calls, work crap and people walking in and out of my bloody office like it’s Victoria fucking Station outside. In related news, I need a Tactical Defense Pen. Goodnight [...]

Photograph and art direction by Marta Lamovsek. G’night.

I’ve got a good two hours of work here left to do, but there won’t be any more broadcasts this weekend. Instead, you can visit an interview with my friend Katelan Foisy. She wears about a dozen different hats every day, but this interview with Asylum revolves around her life as a tarot reader. She’s [...]

Slinka, as half of design unit Ego Assassin, makes clothes that you want to retroactively insert into every science fiction film ever made.* All that floaty toga shit in LOGAN’S RUN? No. Jenny Agutter in Ego Assassin latex. This dress is called Hel, and that’s Slinka in it. She eats like a pig, drinks like [...]

Via Katie West, again. I’m actually still writing, and will be up for hours yet. But it’s definitely sign-off time for this particular web channel tonight. I usually leave Twitter up while I’m working. Tomorrow, I have an appearance announcement: I’m waiting on the link to the place’s website, but it already got mentioned on [...]
