I was a teenaged Lovecraft fan. Part of that still resides in my doomed soul so looking forward to this.

Hello Everyone :)

I've always been a huge fan of Nick Blinko who is a huge fan of Lovecraft so that's how I tend to get my Howard Philips fill, now I'm here, yay!

As a graduate of the Miskatonic University, I like this stuff! Hi BC & all.

Hi Arb, Sonder & Mr. Fab :) Playing several things at once.
Avatar 3:07pm
Mr Fab:

I recognized his voice! Roddy McDowall reading Lovecraft, wow, who knew? So random. it's like, i dunno, Bob Hope reads the Marquis de Sade.
Avatar ♥ 3:11pm
ARB:

Tried to herd some macabre and lachrymose types over from the mothership
Avatar 3:13pm
BC Sterrett:

Thanks ARB, thank you for being here :)
Avatar 3:14pm
Mr Fab:

hi ARB, I was going back and forth from Otis to you. Def a good crowd over there. Hopefully we made some converts. i was handing out pamphlets, and promising them a hot meal.

ARB:

I saw that Mr Fab, thanks! Lure them in with the tantalizing smell of virgin flesh

Mr Fab:

Technicolor Paradise, compiled by WFMU's own DJ Little Danny.

BC Sterrett:

Oh wow, that's so awesome Fab! I love those records

BC Sterrett:

Lovecraft really was a master with the beauty of the English language

Sonderangebot:

Debussy and rotting flesh!

Otis:

Listenin' and detoxin' and lovecraftian'
Avatar 3:21pm
BC Sterrett:

In the background, Rosemary Brown channels new compositions by dead composers.
Avatar 3:23pm
Otis:

Yes, that Technicolor box by Numero, had a pal who pre-ordered it with me local here, one of those releases I was on the edge of my window for.
Avatar 3:23pm
Mr Fab:

Definitely BC, Lovecraft was a master stylist. His plots were simple enough to describe in one sentence. It was all about the dense atmosphere conjured up by his outlandish writing.
Avatar 3:25pm
Otis:

Roddy reads Lovecraft?.... what's next, Andy Rooney reads Anais Nin. Oh please.
Avatar 3:26pm
Mr Fab:

i suggested "Bob Hope reads the Marquis de Sade." Imagine finding THAT in a thrift store.
Avatar 3:27pm
Otis:

Wait, it wasn't one of the on the road movies? On the Road with the Marquis!
Avatar 3:27pm
Mr Fab:

Didn't Jayne Mansfield do a Shakespeare album or sumthin?
Avatar ♥ 3:28pm
ARB:

I made a pilgrimage to his grave in Providence "I Am Providence" and I'm not even a real fan
Avatar 3:28pm
Otis:

I could see that. I'd like Claudine Longet reads War & Peace.
Avatar 3:28pm
Mr Fab:

Well, it's probably among the cooler things to do in RI.
Avatar 3:30pm
Mr Fab:

I have that Sammy album, really great Mel Torme and Jerry Lewis singing "Lulu's Back in Town."
Avatar ♥ 3:30pm
ARB:

Very true, I also got hired to deliver a singing telegram (my only one ever) while there, one of the more bizzarb things I've done
Avatar 3:31pm
Mr Fab:

Ha, what did you sing? how's your singing?
Avatar 3:31pm
Otis:

Oh nice, Angie Tillett from Death by Chocolate in Lollipop Train.
Avatar 3:31pm
BC Sterrett:

I'd love to hear that telegram!
Avatar ♥ 3:34pm
ARB:

It was a telegram to celebrate someone getting the gender on their drivers license successfully changed to reflect their gender identity and the persons sweetheart hired me and friends to sing "what I like about you" by The Romantics with the lyrics changed to be about "The F on your license" and all the things F stood for. I can not sing. But I can hustle.
Avatar ♥ 3:34pm
ARB:

We added in some "Mr Sandman" to make the poetry fit, it was a real abortion
Avatar ♥ 3:35pm
ARB:

With a tuba accompaniment
Avatar 3:39pm
BC Sterrett:

TUBA always makes things better! (I think)
Avatar 3:40pm
Mr Fab:

They do! Well, i would have been thrilled, but what was her response? Did you see a big question mark over her head?
Avatar ♥ 3:40pm
ARB:

It certainly makes them bigger, which is better
Avatar ♥ 3:40pm
ARB:

???Completely Confounded????
Avatar 3:41pm
BC Sterrett:

Val has stepped in to help with the playlist which makes it easier to communicate on here. I don't know how Otis does it almost seemlessly
Avatar 3:43pm
Otis:

I am confounded on how I keep up sometimes, massive juggle with vinyl and playlist and chat but fun and mistakes happen a lot, but rarely can anybody tell, like today put on the wrong record at one point and just said, meh, I'll go check the mail, hit the bathroom, check on the cats and let the sound of rain play. Ha!
Avatar 3:45pm
Otis:

I had the wrong side on one cut today but just powered down the turntable and flipped it over. Ooooh Judson!!! I still have a print of your Judson Fountain Puppet Show BC, the woodcut print... we need to get you on the mic talking about your projects, like the Judson one!
Avatar 3:45pm
Mr Fab:

for FOUR HOURS Otis does it. i suspect there is actually three of you.
Avatar ♥ 3:46pm
ARB:

Four For Fodder is fun to say
Avatar 3:47pm
Otis:

There is, I train my 2 cats well. Shhhhhh. But Sonderangebot will help me on Friday as I'll be on 5 turntables and she will also help me for the 24 hours of Xanadu playlisting when I need a power nap. Huge love to our better-halfs who help live!
Avatar 3:47pm
Mr Fab:

a Judson Fountain puppet show?!?!
Avatar 3:47pm
Otis:

Four For Fodder, I'm coining that. Will credit ya ARB.
Avatar 3:47pm
BC Sterrett:

I heard when you played the wrong side, it was fun how you corrected it :)
Avatar 3:48pm
BC Sterrett:

I only created 3 actual Judson Puppet shows, but did many many others under the name "The Judson Fountain Puppet Show."
Avatar 3:52pm
Mr Fab:

Dang, well you have got to come out to California if we ever do a live variety show. (As we were planning on doing this month DAMN COVIDS). Would love to see a live puppet "drammer."
Avatar ♥ 3:52pm
ARB:

Every time I tune in to this show there's a new 45 I have to add to my want list!
Avatar ♥ 3:53pm
ARB:

Gosh I can't believe it would be TIki Oasis already, it always seemed so far away
Avatar 3:55pm
BC Sterrett:

I always hear records I want to add to my want list from your show Arb. I'm always blown away by your selections.

ARB:

This is Villain Gold already!

ARB:

Aww, thank you!

BC Sterrett:

First heard about Count Morbida flexi from Otis Fodder's 365 Days Project :)
Avatar 3:58pm
Mr Fab:

Master of Terror-monies ha ha. I used to love Dynamite Magazine, from whence this flexi comes.
Avatar ♥ 3:59pm
ARB:

Morsel of a mortal!
Avatar 3:59pm
BC Sterrett:

Dynamite Magazine had one of the best title fonts in history. My older brother used to subscribe :)
Avatar 3:59pm
Otis:

I had a subscription to Dynamite as a kid in the 70s. Oh yea!
Avatar 4:01pm
BC Sterrett:

I think my copy of this flexi has a skip at the end. ha
Avatar 4:02pm
Otis:

Dynamite and Scholastic publications shaped me for sure. I'd pick up Mad, Cracked, 16 and Creem too, ride that schwinn bike to the pharmacy with friends. Dynamite was the best and yes, that font is still amazing. I want a t-shirt now.

Otis:

Thanks BC. See ya!

BC Sterrett:

Thanks everyone! See you next time. Good Midnight to You :)
