doesn't the original Black Sabbath Greatest Hits have a Hieronymus B picture on the front? (answer: no -- see end)
i wonder why i so vastly prefer the gloomocore to black metal? must be its residual, negative-image relationship to E culture, the cold rush
talking of which the Mover seems to have returned from his long exile in the land of dairylea

and another interesting post from Styx, drawing a parallel between writers workshops as mutual inhibition milieux with the way that mnml keeps itself on a leash
it probably works this way in lots of music micro-cultures: a sort of collective self-policing system where subtle administerings of approval and disapproval keep everyone cleaving to subtlety/restraint.... that safety zone where non de trop always teeters on the edge of non de script
especially when that peer-review homeostatic system is then enmeshed with a narrative of music having lost its way, "true people"
detroit techno and deep house true-pathers and pedagogues are an obvious example
backpackerland too

Bosch-core slight return:
the triumph of death, this painting's called
stop press/erratum: actually that's bosh, it's not Hieronymous B, it's Pieter Bruegel the Elder who painted it (Rowan informs me)
