Well, what with the arrival of Savonarola onto and the unexpected return of The Pill Box (a pre-yuletide gift everyone should welcome), together with the re-igniting of Church of Me, Woebot and Heronbone, there’s something of a weblog renaissance happening at the moment.
In this context, I’m delighted to announce the arrival of another high-quality, high-concept weblog. Subject Barred is the new blog of my long-time net pal and alt.movies.kubrick veteran Padraig L Henry. Padraig’s consistently brilliant posts at amk, often corruscating, always ridiculously well-informed, reference-glutted and insight-heavy, but delivered in a style that was stiletto-sharp and quicksilver limpid, were an inspiration in my dark days and a major reason why this blog exists. As I think the rash of early posts at Subject Barred amply demonstrates – image-rich micro-essays on Gaelic Gothic, Kapital’s [hysterical] Obstacles to the Impossible and The Real as Cute Little Girl – Padraig is a natural for the blog format. $ is already plugged directly into current discussions at Lenin’s Tomb, Le Colonel Chabert and elsewhere in the weblog matrix. Expect the best.
