Gary Numan’s Dance album came out September 4, 1981. Here’s the video for “Crash” from it.
Best song on the album!

Being an abridged compendium of all things Pegritzian, presented to readers in a convenient digest format!
3The Comateens’ self-titled album came out August 26, 1981. Here’s a video for “Ghosts” from it.
Oh, and I almost forgot: this album—from one of my alltime favourite New Wave bands—came out yesterday thirty years ago!
Devo’s New Traditionalists album came out August 27, 1981. Here’s a bit of their performance on Fridays around that time, including the excellent “Jerkin’ Back and Forth.”
New Traditionalists, my favourite Devo album and the inspiration for the New Traditionalist Party, was released thirty years ago today! Thirty. Fucking. Years. Christ…when did I get old?!

Justinfinity: Daily eBook: Carl Jung - Liber Novus (The Red Book)
Oh yes indeedy my friends. I bring to you this gem I recently found. I had actually come across another scan copy of this about a week ago, but it had separate versions for the German and English translation, and all color pictures were separate jpeg files… that was no fun. This is one PDF, with with the first half the full color scanned German original w/ pics, and the second half English translation text w/o pics.
This is a must for anyone interested in psychology and the occult. More info on it on Wikipedia.

HUGE Thanks to Justin - who has been featuring some pretty nice book downloads. The sheer size of the file nearly killed my computer though, ha.

I have arrived.
So it’s like this: now I have a Posterous site as well as my main blog and music site, Facebook page, Google Plus site, SoundCloud page, ReverbNation page, BandCamp site, and MySpace page. Not quite sure yet how I’ll work this site in with my usual distribution network, but who cares? I’m one step closer to having an account on every damn social media site imaginable! I shall likely find it very useful in that it will make it considerably easier for me to update all my many promotional platforms in one fell swoop—a godsend in this age of myriad networks and DIY promotion.
So, to get things started, by way of testing the efficacy of this service, I’m uploading a bunch of moody images taken using the Hipstamatic application for my iPhone. If you’re unfamiliar with my work, these photos prettymuch set the tone for what my audiovisual aesthetic looks/sounds like. They were all taken in California University of Pennsylvania’s Old Main building—a lovely example of 19th-Century red brick architecture which I’m sure would’ve pleased H. P. Lovecraft immensely.

This poor, scarred gentleman looks like a character in…well, any and all of my writings.
All the Tumblr blogs I follow are either nothing but cartoons or pictures of naked womens. I believe I have officially established that I am male.

The Hammer Speaks
“Why so hard?” the kitchen coal once said to the diamond. “After all, are we not close kin?”
Why so soft? O my brothers, thus I ask you: are you not after all my brothers?
Why so soft, so pliant and yielding? Why is there so much denial, self-denial, in your hearts? So little destiny in your eyes?
And if you do not want to be destinies and inexorable ones, how can you one day triumph with me?
And if your hardness does not wish to flash and cut through, how can you one day create with me?
For all creators are hard. And it must seem blessedness to you to impress your hand on millennia as on wax.
Blessedness to write on the will of millennia as on bronze — harder than bronze, nobler than bronze. Only the noblest is altogether hard.
This new tablet, O my brothers, I place over you: Become hard!
— Zarathustra, III: On Old and New Tablets, 29. (Actually, Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of The Idols).
