MUSIC FROM SPACE: Ceri Frost - DEAD ALL ALONG

Saturday, September 26, 2009

Student animator Giles Timms has made a really lovely and remarkable video for Dead All Along, a jangling, resonant and bittersweet song by musician Ceri Frost. The video is an Edward Gorey homage that manages to be wrenchingly effective in its own right, telling the story of a little boy named Yorick who goes for an outing with his parents and is led astray by some pixie-folk. Alas, poor Yorick!

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
