Or do other kinds of art, but today I'm sculpting.

My sister's birthday is coming up, and I'd like to make a lil kitsune for her garden. I tried doing a more realistic one, but realism is hard so the new goal is cute and silly. As you can see, I have a big pile of clay and have already prepared its tapered sausage body.

are you going to paint it?

Probably just flat white with some yellow highlights, maybe a face. The main thing I want to do is a bunch of thin layers of lacquer until the surface is smooth, because the clay has a lot of fingerprints and imperfections, then cover it with paint.

I baked it as directed and it was still soft when it came out, so I threw it back in for another 30 minutes and will leave it in the oven overnight with the pilot light to keep it warm. If that fails (likely), I'll get some actual quality air-drying clay. I hope it works, but by now I've made like two or three prototypes before this one, so I'm getting used to it.

No, kitsune are helpful! They bring good luck, and I might even get a foxgirlfriend out of it! Also, I just used Sculpey. It's the mcdonalds of clay and pretty much anything else would have been better, but it's what I wound up with.

It's in the garden, hiding in the mint. There's a few cracks and it isn't the best version of the tails, but she liked it and we were discussing what color to paint it and how. Since I still have a bunch of clay left, I might make a tengu for myself sometime.

I'm not a guy who listens to much rock but I've been trying to get into it more. But Rock culture feels like its the opposite of what it sells itself as. Its conservative, old, and non-threatening.

Every musical genre has a culture built up around it. Hard bop fans have a style and attitude that's different from fans of classical. Rock culture's attitude is youth rebellion and sticking it to authority. But rock fandom seems really conservative (not political). You have to respect the canon, bow to tradition, and play by strict genre conventions. Disrespecting famous rock acts isn't tolerated, unless those bands are considered "too mainstream." Sure, there's room for discussion and contrarian opinions, but rock fans will get very mad at you if you disagree with their high taste, especially classic rock and metal fans. They also seem to really like formulaic stuff that mimics the past. They'll have a bunch of bands they like (depends on sub genre they are into) and want a modern band that mimics that, like another Metallica 2.0 or whatever they happen to like. And the modern day band has to look and sound just like that fossil from 1971. Virtually all popular rock bands are really old too. Like decades old.

Last thing, the element of rebellion feels fake or at least staged for dramatic effect rather than something genuine although there are exceptions to this. Its not like rock bands are espousing ideas and values that are radically at odds with consumer society, unless they are some fringe N*zi band or black metal types. So what are people rebelling against? If you really were a rebel you wouldn't get on MTV, get radio air time, or be allowed on streaming platforms. You'd be black listed. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll aren't rebellious anymore and are more or less acceptable in mainstream society. You're not breaking any rules.

rock for a long time has been produced by members of the upper middle class. its sole focus is on compositional prettiness, and I would argue there's not even a pretense of contrianism/anti-establishment sentiment in modern productions, let alone the genuine article.

we are also in a period of cultural and creative malaise in the west, thanks in large part to corporate algorithms which have ruined normie's discrimination capacity and search skills when it comes to media consumption, and stealth censored much that is truly original or threatening to platform interests

List some of your favorite YouTube channels! Preferably more obscure and retro themed, but anything's fair game.

Recently I found a cool channel by the name of The Smuggler who makes videos about old video formats like VHS and laserdisc as well as stuff about anime. Check him out! https://www.youtube.com/@The_Smuggler_

I love Hobo Stobe's videos. Just watching him ride the rails and go on silly hobo adventures. His videos are an example of video logs done well and I feel its the sort of thing YouTube was really meant for. Its sad he passed so soon. I think his vids have been archived on a separate channel:

There's another channel I watch of an old Afghan man who goes through classical literature and breaks it down line by line. Its not in English though but he has a wonderful personality and is so full of knowledge. Can't avoid mentioning N commander too. Great retro computing videos.

A death-grind mix with slam/beatdown chugs and more. Very low register vocals. Reverberating production. Life of crime style of lyrics. Short and sick.

somehow ive never seen that poster for noroi. Koji Shiraishi is a genius but almost none of his films are as serious as noroi. that being said, Occult, Shirome, Cult, and the very very silly senritsu kaiki movies are incredible. if youre looking specifically for japanese folk horror, kwaidan, onibaba, kuroneko, and ugetsu are all amazing and beautifully shot, try 1000 youkai too but that ones sillier. aditionally watch ju-on the grudge if you havent already, its incredible

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's films are super creepy. Some are from the same era as The Ring, like Cure and Pulse.

Cure technically isn't horror but it's still creepy
