Yes, it's a promo still from Frankenstein Created Woman. I've become obsessed with Hammer horror in the last few years.

Absolutely and there is so much! Diabolique used to have a lot more film write-ups but fantastic inclusion of Hammer often.

I was ready to love To All Trains but I thought it was just okay. I really love Shellac’s sound but outside of “Prayer to God” I just never connect with their songwriting.

I still like the early stuff - say, early EPs through Terraform - the best.

Great read. I'm a big Will Oldham fan- the movies he's in, the music he's made, and now the printed words he's expressed.

Yeah, this was a big one. He was big force in my friends lives. Never met the man, but I would not have certain friends that I call family now without him.

The new one is their best since Hurts.
