Sure, every thing is ending, but not yet. Ever since David Tibet's Current 93 sung it's birth canal blues back in the early 1980s, there's been a smell of apocalypse in the air. As the American author of horror novels Thomas Ligotti put it, Tibet has over the years presented us with words and images that are "portentous in a literal and most poetic sense."* No matter how great or small, Tibet's visions have sustained a sense of urgency throughout his many, many projects and towering work. 35 years on, as dark clouds once again are gathering on the horizon, his syncretic tale of the fallen empire inside us all seem to be as pertinent as ever. Arise for bad times. Enter Zu93, the effectively named collaboration between Tibet and the ever-changing Italian group Zu, centered around Massimo Pupillo and Luca Mai. Seven years after the collaborators first met in Rome, the most beautifully apocalyptic city of all, they can finally present Mirror Emperor, mixed and produced by Stefano Pilia. If last year's Create Christ, Sailor Boy, the startling Hypnopazuzu album Tibet made alongside Youth, the legendary producer and Killing Joke bassist, was "a transformative union," the imperial ghost music presented on Mirror Emperor marks a return to their earth, a tour amidst the ruins: Gentle guitars, weeping cellos, the occasional rumbling bass and soft percussion, are melted and gently poured into the sepulchral engine. Despite a few electric swirls or the odd metallic screech Mirror Emperor moves seamlessly and comes across as surprisingly grounded and subtle, yet anticipatory, foreboding and at times even pastoral and Arcadian. The sound of a magical chamber orchestra or Cæsar Legions? Well, Mirror Emperor does echo pivotal moments from the respective catalogues of it's creators, most urgently akin to Zu's acoustic explorations on their 2014 collaboration with Eugene S. Robinson of Oxbow fame, The Left Hand Path, leading up to last year's brilliantly metamorphic Jhator. For others the album will come as a gift from the blazing starres, more than hinting at a stripped down Current 93 of the 90s, perhaps in the same way as 2010's Baalstorm, Sing Omega or Myrninerest's 2012 album, 'Jhonn,' Uttered Babylon at times did. "The album is the closing of a long circle for me," comments Massimo Pupillo. "I've been following David's work since the early days and count Current 93 as one of the main inspirations behind my work with Zu. For me his poetry and music is like a light in the depths of human experience, a soundtrack for one's personal descent into the unconscious fields." "Zu made something very beautiful and very powerful for me to skip into. I love this album," Tibet says. Mirror Emperor adds another chapter in his ever-expanding oblique vision: personal, dense and hallucinatory. A voice through a cloud, indeed. On Mirror Emperor, the demiurge of our demise hides in the cracks of a broken world, beneath stones and moss, among the comets, in tears and things and on BloodBoats, as if a "cosmic melancholy" (Ligotti) is being articulated. More mourning than light. Tibet explains: We all carry different faces, different masks, and all of them will be taken from us. We were born free, and fell through the Mirror into a UnWorld, a Mirror Empire. In this Mirror Empire we are under the Mirror Emperor, and there are MANY Bad Moons Rising. At the final curtain there is scant applause. As the music fades out, we hear a whispered "awake." "Every time I heard this final call to awakening while working on the album, I found myself deeply moved," Pupillo says. "Awake. If this was the last word to come out of Zu, I would be a happy man." What we're left with is a dreamlike suite, created under a murderous moon. Perhaps that is all we ever hoped for. Hey, was that the Apocalypse? Zu93 is: David Tibet, Massimo Pupillo, Stefano Pilia, Luca Mai, Luca Tilli, Andrea Serrapiglio, Sara D'Uva. - TORE ENGELSEN ESPEDAL, MARCH 2018

Perfect toddler book for teaching big emotions and calm down techniques in a simple, visual way
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
What I received / first impressions:
This is a picture book written for toddlers and young children that walks through what big emotions feel like, where you feel them in your body, and what to do when they show up. It is written in a way that is easy for kids to follow along with a parent and includes practical techniques they can actually use in the moment.
What I liked:
- Perfectly written for young kids: The language and pacing are just right for toddlers to stay engaged and understand without getting lost.
- Teaches body awareness around emotions: I love that it helps children recognize where in their body they feel emotions, which is such a foundational skill for emotional regulation.
- Covers a full range of emotions: It addresses big feelings that come from both difficult and happy moments, and acknowledges that emotions show up differently for everyone which is an important and inclusive message.
- Interactive and easy to practice at home: This is something you can do together as a family, not just read and set aside. The techniques are simple enough for little ones to actually try.
- Parent tips included in the back: The added section for parents on how to integrate the techniques into daily life is a thoughtful bonus that makes this more than just a read-aloud.
- Great addition alongside other behavior books: We are fans of the Best Behavior series like Teeth Are Not for Biting and Hands Are Not for Hitting and this fits right in alongside those in both tone and approach.
What I didn't like / concerns:
Nothing. This book delivered exactly what we needed and then some.
Who I think this is best for:
- Parents of toddlers and young children looking for a practical, visual tool for emotional regulation
- Families who already enjoy behavior and feelings books and want to add to their collection
- Anyone looking for a book they can actively use with their child rather than just read to them
- Teachers or caregivers working with young children on identifying and managing big emotions
Bottom line:
This book has genuinely helped us work through big emotions at home in a way our child can understand and participate in. It is visual, approachable, and gives both kids and parents real tools to use together. We are so glad we found it and it has earned a permanent spot in our regular reading rotation.
Would I buy again?
Yes, and would gift it to other parents of young children without hesitation.

Toddlerhood is a journey you should enjoy
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Toddlerhood is a completely different game from the newborn or the curious infant. But it's not just "the terrible twos," or the throw down to the ground tantrums. It's learning and doing so together and finding joy every day. As a single mom, i was looking for parenting advice and books and felt like I was continuously getting let down. I liked a little from a couple of different topics, but it felt like no one was really connecting to what I wanted to represent. I read the book transforming toddlerhood, and was so happy. Not only does the book have great advice, but actual real situation suggestions and free available resources you can download and use. My coparent and I have both read it. We love that you can do sections at a time, the easy and relatable language and small laughs of how on point Devon is. Really the only toddler parenting book you need!

Turns Toddler Parenting Struggles into Strengths
Format: Hardcover
We are in the thick of toddlerhood in our house. And I frequently feel at a loss. Ever feel that way? Along comes this book. I’ve followed the author on social media for years and implemented quite a few of her tips. So after one especially rough toddler parenting day, I opened up to JUST the table of contents and felt hope for the first time in a long while. This book can be read as a whole book or you can hit the chapters that are most relevant like “Decoding Screaming, Yelling, and Demands” or “Supporting a Slow-To-Warm Up Child”. Literally feels like Devon has been a fly on the wall at my house. Her writing supports us a parents, helps us understand these toddlers as humans, and gives us bite sized actionable ideas and mindset shifts that work!! I really have felt so much hope and empowerment as I’ve read even just a paragraph at a time. Can’t wait to get through the whole book!
