[Pulp Librarian @PulpLibrarian]

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004). They only made six episodes!

It's a show within a show, as horror author Garth Marenghi introduces clips from his cancelled 1980s Channel 4 supernatural drama Darkplace, intercut with actor interviews and readings from Garth's many, many, many books.

There's explosions, gunplay, psychic abilities, portals from hell, slow motion running along corridors, pathos, romance and more explosions - plus musings on the nature of fiction, the craft of writing and some of the funniest line delivery ever seen on TV.

It's endless fun, endlessly quotable ("I know authors who use subtext and they're all cowards!") and pitch perfect as a mockumentary and homage to '80s action horror drama. Matthew Holness, Matt Berry, Richard Ayoade and Alice Lowe turn in excellent performances.

Matthew Holness is now writing and touring as Garth Marenghi, showing a new generation his Darkplace, so do check your local bookshop, horror magazine or internet forum ("if that's how you choose to live your life") for details.

fortunately US didn't elect a woman president to prattle on cluelessly about interior decorating in a time of war; if so, calls for her impeachment would be immediate.

[The Jazz Estate @thejazzestate]

Remembering the great Alice Coltrane who was born on this day in 1937. An accomplished pianist and one of the few harpists in the history of jazz, Coltrane was also one of the foremost exponents of spiritual jazz. Her eclectic music proved widely influential both within and outside the world of jazz.

She was married to jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane, with whom she performed in 1966–1967. Alice Coltrane recorded many albums as a bandleader, beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s for Impulse! and other major record labels.

Here, she is playing the harp in 1970. This clip is from the Black Journal documentary. The segment focuses on the life of Alice Coltrane and her children in the wake of the death of her husband John Coltrane.
