The Jam - Funeral Pyre (1981)

All these people dying these days...

One that I missed until recently was Jam drummer Rick Buckler, who passed away on Feb. 15th. From 1979 to 1982, the Jam were my absolute favorites. Buckler was not a flashy drummer, but this was one of his finest moments. Sadly, this song seems too appropriate now.

Stranger - Grimshire

I tried the demo for Grimshire [HERE] and my brain hasn't let me drop it in WEEKS, so buckle up as I post some of the fan art and fan trades for this upcoming game. The opening of the game really sets the tone for this game. I will be thinking of the lost goat woman for a long time

-----

PLEASE check out this game and wishlist it on Steam. It's a farm sim, but it does a number of things differently. The farm is intrinsic to the story and doesn't become a chore to be automated so it's out of your way. It also doesn't devolve into "Become a zillionare by growing beets". If you do not grow and raise food, the villagers will starve. If you do not preserve your food, it will spoil. If you do not balance the needs of herbivores and carnivores.....well, I'd honestly rather not find out.

The Death of Sardanapalus

“...according to one account, the city of Tarsus was founded not by Sandan but by Sardanapalus, the famous Assyrian monarch whose death on a great pyre was one of the most famous incidents in Oriental legend. Near the sea, within a day's march of Tarsus, might be seen in antiquity the ruins of a great ancient city named Anchiale, and outside its walls stood a monument called the monument of Sardanapalus, on which was carved in stone the figure of the monarch. He was represented snapping the fingers of his right hand, and the gesture was explained by an accompanying inscription, engraved in Assyrian characters, to the following effect :—‘Sardanapalus, son of Anacyndaraxes, built Anchiale and Tarsus in one day. Eat, drink, and play, for everything else is not worth that,’ by which was implied that all other human affairs were not worth a snap of the fingers…. To avoid falling into the hands of the rebels, who laid siege to Nineveh, he built a huge pyre in his palace, heaped it up with gold and silver and purple raiment, and then burnt himself, his wife, his concubines, and his eunuchs in the fire.”

—J. G. Frazer, Adonis, Attis, Osiris, part 1 (The Golden Bough, vol. V, 1914, p. 173)

I am the funeral pyre I am the grief candle I am the Fire that marks the liminal space I am the vébönd of the gate I am the table laden with photographs I am the stories told over coffee I am the memories reminsced over tea I am the feelings nursed over wine I am the poured out flask I am the lit incense I am the fire that lights the pipe I am the embers of the cigar I am the slow…
