I’m feeling a little off this week and really just needed to spend some time after work relaxing and vibing out. So when it came time to pick this week’s Monday Magick entry I went looking for something that sounded smooth over something with in-your-face occult qualities. Ultimately I chose[…]
Swedish Metal outfit Ghost use vintage film clips to weave a tale of rebellious school children, blasphemous scientists, secret societies, illumination via initiation, and spiritual transformation in their new video “From the Pinnacle to the Pit”. It’s almost as if their method is science, but their aim is religion, if[…]
The gorgeous sisters who comprise CocoRosie weave some witchy word-magic over plucky guitars, tinkling pianos and music box chimes on the spoken-word-infused “Lost Girls”. “Lost Girls” is from the duo’s newest album, ‘Heartache City’, which is out now digitally with a physical release due October 16th on the City Slang[…]
Creepy little girl with supernatural powers? Check. Weird doctor/social worker to make you feel uncomfortable? Check. Freaky hooded cultists? Check. Available on DVD, VOD, and streaming services like Hulu on October 6th? I’ll be there. ‘June’
Sometimes El Keter and Emeysi drop a new episode of our Clandestine Transmission podcast sooner, rather than later. This is one of those occasions! Listen for throwback Rap, underground Hip-Hop, wonky bass beats, a little bit of House of the “Hip” and sophisticated variety, a chilled out Nu-Wave Indie-Disco cut,[…]
Once again my obsession with conspiracy-themed talk-radio pays off by exposing me to another potential Monday Magick featuree!

I bet you thought El Keter and Emeyesi had forgotten all about podcasting and wouldn’t ever upload another episode of the Clandestine Transmission, didn’t you? Well, you were wrong! The Clandestine Transmission returns with some smooth sample-based boom-bap beats, big-bass trunk-rattling Trap shit, some slick soulful sounds, a surprise guest[…]
Time just ran out on me today, so Monday Magick will be taking this week off. We’ll be back with another entry of our magickal musical feature next week.
Turkish witch-cult flick ‘Baskin’ had its world premier at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday and people are saying some really good things about it. I have no idea what Can Evrenol’s debut feature is really all about, but you know if you throw some goat-headed motherfuckers in your movie[…]
I’ve made no secret about the fact that I don’t care for Christmas. This year the Holiday Season brings me and people like me a special gift in the form of horror/comedy ‘Krampus’! The yuletide slaughter, starring Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Stefania Lavie Owen[…]
Hip-Hop psychonauts Flatbush ZOMBiES are finally back with a new song and video titled “Blacktivist” that’s sure to make heads want to wise-the-dome and act a fool! “Blacktivist” is from an as-yet-untitled forthcoming EP that the Brooklyn-based trio is reportedly readying for release some time before the year is out.[…]
