So sad to hear of the passing of Anthony Head. Always so supportive of the magazine and, living in Bath, a frequent visitor to the @sfxmagazine.bsky.social office and photo studio. Fabulous actor and a charming, approachable man who wore his fame lightly.

Absolutely awful news about Anthony Head. A very fine actor and a genuinely lovely man. A regular sight in and around Bath, too, and a friend of SFX. He will be missed.

This is gonna be ace. Looking forward to a catch up with master of the mystic arts @polypores.bsky.social.

Incredibly sad news that John Blanche has passed away, for so many of us he was an inspiration, a man who literally shaped the spiky contours of our imaginations when exposed to his work at, probably, far too young an age. I’d say that British gaming would be unrecognisable today without him but…

Rest in peace John Blanche. His work defined everything good about Warhammer: it's weirdness and singularity, it's satirical edge (something the game has been noticeably heading back towards of late), and it's mad gothic atmosphere. An incredible, unique talent.

Looking at perfumes again. Yes, i do want to smell of beer and cables.

It hath arrived (a day early)

Just learned about "out-gassing" in vinyl and now frantically disposing of any PVC sleeves.

This is bizarre. Chris Carter has made a surprise director's cut of the un-loved second X-Files movie (yes, there WAS a second X-Files movie). Fascinating. www.polygon.com/x-files-i-wa...

Saw Rose of Nevada again. Decided to join the dots with everything else that I like. FOTY so far, honestly.

This looks like the press photo whenever you get an e mail from Mute.

Today is, sadly, my last day at GamesRadar+ after a very fun three-and-a-bit years. Forgive my self-indulgence, then, as I link to a few pieces that I liked. Starting with that time I wrote about David Lynch's The Angriest Dog in the World. www.gamesradar.com/comics/david...

Widow's Bay gets better with every single episode. Wrote a little bit about it last week before I'd seen this week's astonishing instalment. www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...

New most anticipated film just dropped. www.screendaily.com/news/mackenz...

New single out today on Lost Map! It’s called ‘An Apparition’, and it’s a catchy anti-establishment, ghost-pop song, loosely inspired by Michael Haneke’s TV adaptation of Kafka’s ‘The Castle’. li.sten.to/an-apparition Here we are, looking all haunted and stuff…

Widow's Bay on Apple TV is excellent. It's about a spooky small town, so of course I'm gonna pick up on the Twin Peaks vibes, but I'm also getting unexpected notes of Northern Exposure; Eerie, Indiana; even Round the Twist. Really fun and witty writing and a great lead performance from Matthew Rhys.

Not at all what I expected and totally beautiful. Wow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Nl...

I'm on my way to sunny Whitby to bring the FREE Scarred For Life Folk Horror show to the Hand of Glory festival! Me and @bobfischer.bsky.social are really looking forward to this one - and yes, tickets are free! eventbrite.co.uk/e/scarred-for-life-a-folk-horror-special-tickets-1987994982508

As lots of big indie labels hit milestones this year, I wanted to have a really open and frank conversation - including facts and figures - about what it’s currently like to run one in this climate. Lots of fascinating insights. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Was doing really well on this record review and then saw that post your top 10 songs thing and that's the rest of the night torpedoed.

😅

Really wish I could make this, but I can't. You should go and see Bob and Folklore Tapes and Burd Ellen and Bridget Haden and Pefkin and Black Meadow and probably everything else, too.

The Wachowskis built 1.5 miles of highway for their Reloaded set piece, got 300 some cars from GM that were not deemed to be road safe for consumers, and after filming one of the five best car chases in cinematic history, recycled all that material into affordable housing in Mexico

Not saying I've developed a fun new obsession to get me through the most stressful few months of my life, but I had two separate dreams about the Boards of Canada album last night.

Rewatched the 2018 Suspiria. Remains a beautiful, awful nightmare rich with subtext and mid-century real world horror + witches

Rose of Nevada is out today. I saw a preview last week and it's magnificent: Jenkins' quiet but ever-present 2020s social commentary wrapped in an enigmatic time slip narrative. As ever with his work it looks and sounds absolutely amazing, too.

If you're excited to hear the new Boards of Canada album and want something "new" to tide you over, somebody leaked soundboard recordings of their last live performance recently including this unreleased track. Louder! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDb8...

Jonathan Keir Harker Starmer 🤝 Not having enough questions about their good friend, the Prince of Darkness

Love being a small part of this amazing magazine. LOOK AT THAT COVER.

Mum, the computer's having a go at me again

Feels like a distillation of their entire aesthetic to this point. Beautiful. Need to know more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bgh...

Rose of Nevada is fantastic. A superficial observation, but it's smack bang in the middle of Bait's Cornish social realism and the time slip mind fuck of Enys Men. The sound design on this thing is absolutely insane. Oddly a hint of Donnie Darko in its make-up and maybe a trace of Life on Mars, too.
