Celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Transition of Howard Phillips Lovecraft
God grant me the grace to pump out something decent in memory of the 70th anniversary of the death of HP Lovecraft, the power to force the audio player to work, and the wisdom to come back later and edit this into something that makes a helluva lot more sense than it does at 4:18am.
Audio from SFFAudio, via SFSignal. For more audio of forbidden madness, check out this roundup of all available HP Lovecraft audio.
Yog-sothoth be praised! If you’ve been looking for H.P. Lovecraft audio look no farther! We’ve compiled a list of all the story readings and audio dramas that we know about! Most of these “old ones” are out of print but once you know it exists you’re half way to finding it – though perhaps that’s not the wisest move. If you own one of these audiobooks and can provide more details or a scan of the cover art please send us an email. But no copies of the Necronomicon please …. we’re crazy enough!
and now, here’s your Podcast of the Elder Gods:
The Dunwich Horror

mammoth sale!
Only three and a half months till my birthday, people!
You didn’t come through with the Golden Mermaid for Christmas even though it was at the top of my list, right under the pony, so here’s your chance to make up for it (Metro and Mistress Cowfish excepted; anyone who gives me a bobbing squid to celebrate the birth of Our Saviour gets serious cred around these parts).
Today from Wisconsin comes news that the woolly mammoth skeleton discovered there in 1996 may be for sale soon. One only hopes Grampa Clem here isn’t aware of the current market value of this particular example of the Insanely Cool Knicknacks genre.
And practically speaking, if you’ve seen my living room you’ll know that adding a mammoth skeleton to the mess won’t make a bit of difference, crowding-wise. I may die under piles of stuff from my shelves, but at least the rescue workers will have a great time digging out the body. “Hey Bob, look at THIS!” “That’s nothing Lisa, did you see she’s got three of THESE? And they’ve still got their scales!”
A 76-year-old Kenosha County man in whose cornfield the skeleton of a mammoth believed to be about 12,500 years old was dug up in 1994 is interested in selling it, and officials of the Milwaukee Public Museum are interested in it.
“I’m just looking for some funds for my grandkids’ college,” John Hebior said the possible sale of the skeleton now in 15 large wooden crates and four plastic tubs in the basement of his farmhouse five miles west of Somers.

300, the game! Spartans vs Persians, old-skool!
So the movie 300 is a jingoistic, bombastic, cartoonish, homoerotic two-hour military recruiting video. I mean, they say that as if it’s bad!
Some demented and nostalgic genius has taken this simpleminded movie and given it perhaps the ultimate Generation X accolade; he’s made a Nintendo Entertainment System game out of it.
The reviewers should have just watched this instead of wasting ten bucks and two hours of their time. As for me, I could watch and watch…pot, Pearl Jam, and Doritos optional.

Nine Inch Nails: Survivalism
The latest key to the conspiracy…distributed in USB drives at the London show, March 7th.
Or so they say…
Hmmm, definitely not my favorite NIN song, but the worst thing is…oh god…is Trent actually wearing that badge of the clueless, the Hipster Hijab?
Sure, he’s still hot, but je suis ainsi mortifié!
