The Hangmen - Bad Goodbye (1966)

Here are the Hangmen from Washington D.C. with some downbeat, hang your head, garage rock. Vocalist Dave Ottley sounds like he's really been through the wringer.

And now the only words that'll do Are "we're through"

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

a little autobiographical piece about the internet

[ID: a black and white comic, with blakl as the background and white as the lines. The first panel says “At my office, they’re very efficient when people leave.” It shows a person staring tiredly at a computer. The second says “Their email, their calender, their personal page… Gone in 24 hours.” It shows the computer on a 404 error page.

The next panel says “I don’t know exactly who’s in charge of doing it. But they’re fast. However…” It shows a grim reaper walking out of a door labeled ‘IT’. Theres a small panel of just text; “No one deals with the bodies on the internet.” The next panel says “When my best friend died… Her tumblr queue ran while she was in a coma.” It shows a tumblr page of someone with a grim reaper icon and the username Sabrina, showing they reblogged a post.

The next panel says “Her facebook was never deleted.” It shows a facebook page of someone with the same grim reaper icon, and the name ‘Sabrina XXXXX’. The next panel is formatted like a text conversation. At the top is an old message from the other person, with a grim reaper icon. The words on the panel are formatted as texts from the tired person; “I still talk to her. - She’s not online. - Obviously. - But the messages go through.”

The second to last panel is blank except a text message from the grim reaper person slowly coming through, showing only an ellipsis. The last panel is completely blank besides words at the very bottom; “the internet is full of ghosts.” end ID]
