Few things you need to know about zombies

No matter if they really exist or not, zombies are a part of the popular culture.  When we say zombie, it usually refers to a reanimated corpse, but also zombie could be human being that is controlled by someone else by use of magic. They are encountered in horror and fantasy themed fiction and entertainment, typically described as mindless, confused, decaying corpses, hungry for human flesh.  They may be concerned as a successor of the concept of the vampires.

The modern conception of the zombie has its roots in the movie of George A. Romero from 1968 – Night of the Living Dead.  From then till now, conception of the modern zombie has being tied with the “zombie apocalypse”.  It refers to a society breakdown as a result of zombie infestation, portrayed in many zombies – related media.  The most famous zombie – themed television appearance probably was Thriller, Michael Jackson’s short film and music video, directed by John Landis that became one of the most popular music videos of all time.  Zombies also became a part of the modern literature so the zombie fiction emerged as a distinct literary subgenre.  They take a part in the gaming also, zombie games are one of the most popular video games…

Very interesting thing, related to the zombies, are the guides for zombie survival.  No one has seen group of “undead” walking through the streets, but these guides exist, there is a great number of books, articles on internet.  Probably the most popular book of this kind is The Zombie Survival Guide, written by American author Max Brooks, published in 2003.  In the book he describes “cases” of zombie outbreaks in history and gives detailed plans for the average citizen to survive zombie attacks.  For the ones that are impatient to read whole book, here are few simple rules how to survive zombie meeting.

When the zombies are breaking down your door, you should stay calm; they are slow so you can probably get away if you stick to the rules.  It’s good if you have a few important things with you like weapons, good flashlight, food and water.  Next step is to secure your location, do what you can to barricade every entrance, but in any case, stay put and always have an exit strategy.  The rules said that it’s not important if the zombie was your best friend or girlfriend; put a slug in their head, because if you don’t do that, they will kill you no matter what.  Be patient waiting for rescue, but start making your long term plans for survival.  And another very important thing, don’t get surrounded because you are dead if you do.

Historical zombies

Zombies! The first thing that comes in our minds when someone mention this name is darkness and a corpse with no live in it, but is still moving in a way to harm us. Isn’t that creepy? Do they really exist or they live just in our imagination? Who created them? A lot of questions and ill try to answer it.

Real life zombies

Zombies appear in front of us, regularly, in our TV sets of course, and we are amazed of their power and scared of their look. Imagine what would you do if one of them appears in front of your eyes while you are coming back at home at night? It’s creepy, isn’t it? But better think of it because zombies can be real. We will give you some real examples.

A few nice Zombie Book Reviews images I found:

Interesting Things In My Library #8

Mental Illness, Possession, Exorcism and Life After Death (1977) – Dr. Francis Harber

This is a truly extraordinary book. By way of explanation, I can do no better than the tongue in cheek review that I once gave the book on Amazon:

"Harber’s comments and insights into the nature of possession and the afterlife are ground breaking. Using a conversational, question and answer format, he attempts to answer major spiritual and philosophical questions for the reader. Towards the end of the text, he provides the reader with a comprehensive guide to recognising the 217 most common symptoms of possession in humans, dogs, and plant life. A plant, named ‘Begonia’, is used as an example. He provides a detailed discussion of the nature of demonic possession, exorcism, and the soul from the perspective of a spiritualist. Constructive solutions and advice are provided to resolve most garden variety possessions by demons and spirits. Well worth the read!"

Jesus, zombies, syphilis, possessed house plants and succubi all make appearances in the book.

Prior to writing this book, Harber authored "Schizophrenia, Obsession, Exorcism, Reincarnation, and Mediums"

Inset: a photo of the good Doctor, taken from the book’s back cover.

2009 in music

Image by erin m
On last year’s music post, Scott wrote "if i posted about music i’d have left out so many other things that are so important to me."

Music is so much more than a list. It’s a mood, it’s nostalgia, it’s being transported to somewhere other than where you are.

In the scramble to get out the door in the morning, I sometimes weigh the merits of what I’ve left upstairs against how late I am. I won’t turn back for a mislaid hat or my lunch or a book I’m just about to finish. But I cannot get through a single day without music.

People complain that we’re a city of zombies, tuning out the world with our earbuds and shuffling from metro to office and back again. But when the music is good, it makes me want to smile at strangers, to spread the soundtrack of my day.

Top 5 musical happenings of 2009

Avett Brothers, "I And Love And You"
Oh. My. God. It’s just…I’m in awe.

Alejandro Escovedo, everything.
When I got into Chicago late one night last fall, I went for a short walk in Grant Park, intending to get straight back to the hotel and crash. The city instead offered up a free Escovedo show, and I watched a girl in a bridesmaid’s dress dance in her own private world.

Soundtrack, "(500) Days of Summer."
It almost collapses under the weight of twee hipsterdom, but then it doesn’t.

Elvis Costello, "Secret, Profane & Sugarcane."
Yep. When I saw him at Wolftrap this summer, a banjo sat to the side of the stage for the entire show. No one touched it. It just taunted us. Also the man is just charming.

Film, "It Might Get Loud."
See what I did there? I called this musical happenings so i could get away with this. It’s just one 90-minute musical experience anyway. But good god is it wonderful. The storytelling, the journeys home, bizarro mini-Jack White, the inability of White and the Edge to smother the childlike glee when Jimmy Page picks up a guitar in front of them … (go on, look at ‘em smile). This is a movie made for music-lovers.
