Th 8/6/20

Up 7am: Another beautiful summer day. Sunny with temps to almost 80.

Watched 'THE SERIAL KILLER CULTURE' (Hoopla). A museum curator of monster movie memorabilia collected artwork of serial killers and is a Louisiana mortician by day. The people who organize walking tours of Jeffery Dahmer's Milwaukee neighborhood. FUN FACTS: More women than men are interested in 'True Crime' and serial killers. Gacy's 'Pogo' paintings were done in assembly line fashion. A comedy folk act that writes songs that satirize  serial killers. An internationally renowned Swedish heavy metal band celebrates serial killer, child rapist and cannibal, Albert Fish. And profiles of a few artists whose work is inspired by serial killers. Somewhat interesting because I am interested in the subject; 'If a human did it, I want to know about it'. 

Then I watched 'BRIAN ENO- 1971-1977 The Man Who Fell To Earth'. (Almost two and a half hours) Whether Brian Eno is known as a dilettante or polymath, there's been no one like him. He left Roxy Music because he became too popular for lead singer, Bryan Ferry. After leaving Roxy Music he hired The Winkies, a pub rock band to play his compositions. This music was successful enough to have his record company release ten albums by avant garde composers. This music had largely been ignored and his status allowed them to be accepted by a much wider audience. He then made albums with the German band, Cluster. His first four solo albums represent rock music influenced by art rock and then he completely left rock music to develop a completely ambient sound which continues to this day. 

230pm: Preparing for a long bike ride and maybe a walk later. 

345pm. Biking was nixed. Parkview, Oakmont, Country Club, Outer Park asphalt, North on Douglas, through the park and up the hill north side, Parkview down to 940. 2 HRS. Mp3 'Sorcerer' ~ MILES DAVIS, 'Spiderland' ~ SLINT, DRIVE BY TRUCKERS ~ 'Southern Rock Opera'. 

In the tub with MODEL BEHAVIOR and a little IMAGINE DRAGONS, but too corny 'Coldplay Lite', LUKE Combs {similar to ERIC CHURCH and 'our' cousin}, ZAC BROWN BAND. 

Watched 'TOO LATE' (Amazon Prime). A very complicated Neo-Noir set in Los Angeles. Intertwining plot-lines and a few different time-lines. A non-linear time-line, but it's basically the story of a LA detective who contacts his adult daughter. She's a stripper and is strangled because she supposedly saw some incriminating pictures. He is avenging her murder. Requires several viewings. I had seen it before, but it still isn't even 70% clear; with John Hawkes and Robert Forster.

1050pm: Shutting down the PC early. Will eat and read.
