Assemblog: November 2, 2012

Post Halloween blues by sachiko-no! on Flickr

I’ve got the post-Halloween blues! It’s been a long and exhausting month, and even though I skipped out on last week’s Assemblog, I’m going to have to skip this week’s, too. Sorry everyone. But we do have a lot of articles from this week for you to enjoy.

New this week on Popshifter: My review of the delightfully weird Wrong (for all my Toronto After Dark Film Fest coverage, go here); Jemiah describes The Ganzfeld EP from Matmos as a “pleasing appetizer” to their upcoming full-length; Cait has fun with the hilarious and nostalgic reissues of Zacherle’s Monster Mash & Scary Tales; Chelsea explains NaNoWriMo for the uninitiated; Elizabeth discusses fan-funded TV in this installment of “TV Is Dead, Long Live TV;” and I review three quite different but worthwhile new releases: ESP’s self-titled EP, Majeure’s Solar Maximum, and Wazu’s Robobo.
