    The HP Lovecraft society’s has done Two more Albums of this music! If only I’d know of this a month ago to give me time for shipping.

    I’m shocked that ‘Tentacles’ isn’t playing in a loop to give this blog the ‘horrible supermarket’ effect.

    My heart has been warmed (or burned by Cthulhu cooking my soul in a light Béchamel sauce…).

    Wow.

    That pretty much made my day. I love it.

    And after a morning of reading student papers, too. Thought nothing would be able to cheer me up.

    Following the link Nick so kindly provided up there I found…

    The sheet music.

    Yep. Cthulu carols. In four part vocal harmony.

    That’s just beautiful. Who’s up for some door-to-door carolling?

    Long time ago in elder days,
    So the traveling cultist raves,
    A great stone city, tombs and all,
    Had sunk beneath the waves.

    Hark, you fools: That is not dead
    Which can eternal lie,
    And with strange aeons even death,
    Yes, even death may die

    Cephalopodmas

    We had a long drive last Saturday (12/9) to go to the graduation of our goddaugher Heather in Manhattan, KS. And this was the first CD we played. Our goddaughter’s father a nd his girlfriend had a moment of cognitive dissonence, and the father, at least, went, “oh, that’s the point.”
