*notier* Niemals von Pavlos gebrauchte Platten kaufen...

Genau, der dreht dir die Platten sonst noch als ultrarares schwarz-weiß-Splatter-Vinyl an, dabei wars ursprünglich mal ne normale schwarze... :unsure:

Natürlich als Shape Disc....

Argh, jetzt habe ich eine Band hier in der Nähe angeschrieben, die laut eigener Aussage "Old School Metal" spielt und einen Gitarristen sucht.

Auf die Frage, mit welchen Bands ihr Sound denn vergleichbar ist antworten die allen Ernstes:
"Pro Pain und Paradise Lost"

Old School ist in den Fällen wohl eher gleich bedeutend mit olle-Säcke-Metal.

Die 10 besten Sätze von H.P. Lovecraft sind:


Platz 10:
"For a ghoul is a ghoul, and at best an unpleasant companion for man." (The dream-quest for unknown Kadath")

Platz 9:
"It was the Yuletide, that men call Christmas though they know in their hearts it is older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than Memphis and mankind." (The festival)

Platz 8:
"We should do as Sir Arthur Jermyn did; and Arthur Jermyn soaked himself in oil and set fire to his clothing one night." (Facts concerning the late Arthur Jermyn and his family)

Platz 7:
"Sometimes, when it is cloudy, I can sleep." (Polaris)

Platz 6:
"In London there is a man who screams when the church bells ring." (The descendant)

Platz 5:
"When Randolph Carter was thirty he lost the key of the gate of dreams." (The silver key)

Platz 4:
"There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth; for when as children we learn and dream, we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember, we are dulled and prosaic with the poison of life." (Celephais)

Platz 3:
"And in the twilight, as the stars came out one by one and the moon cast on the marsh a radiance like that which a child sees quivering on the floor as he is rocked to sleep at evening, there walked into the lethal quicksands a very old man in tattered purple, crowned with whithered vine-leaves and gazing ahead as if upon the golden domes of a fair city where dreams are understood. That night something of youth and beauty died in the elder world." (The Quest of Iranon)

Platz 2:
"It is true that I have sent six bullets through the head of my best friend, and yet I hope to show by this statement that I am not his murderer." (The thing on the doorstep)

Platz 1:
"Hippopotami should not have human hands and carry torches!" (Imprisoned with the Pharaohs)

"For a ghoul is a ghoul, and at best an unpleasant companion for man."

Hier noch zwei Faves von mir:

"That was all they ever took, those unpleasantly featured merchants and their unseen rowers; never anything from the butchers and grocers, but only gold and the fat black men of Parg whom they bought by the pound." (The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath)

"That Thomas Sabin's Boston coach was "damn'd uncomfortable" old letters may well have told; but what healthy antiquarian could recall how the creaking of Epenetus Olney's new signboard (the gaudy crown he set up after he took to calling his tavern the Crown Coffee House) was exactly like the first few notes of the new jazz piece all the radios in Pawtuxet were playing?" (The Case of Charles Dexter Ward)

Hehe, ja auch sehr gut!

Am besten sind immer die Stellen, an denen er völlig hysterisch wird:

"My brain! My brain! God, Dan - it's tugging - from beyond - knocking - clawing - that she-devil - even now - Ephraim - Kamog! Kamog! - The pit of the shoggoths - Ia! Shub-Niggurath! The Goat with a Thousand Young!... The flame - the flame - beyond body, beyond life - in the earth - oh, God!" (The thing on the doorstep)

Und die Beschreibungen:

"Witnesses said it had long hair and the shape of a rat, but that its sharp-toothed, bearded face was evilly human while its paws were like tiny human hands. It took messages betwixt old Keziah and the devil, and was nursed on the witch's blood, which it sucked like a vampire. Its voice was a kind of loathsome titter, and it could speak all languages." (Dreams in the Witch-House)

"There flopped rhythmically a horde of tame, trained, hybrid winged things that no sound eye could ever wholly grasp, or sound brain ever wholly remember. They were not altogether crows, nor moles, nor buzzards, nor ants, nor vampire bats, nor decomposed human beings, but something I cannot and must not recall." (The festival)

Gute Idee! Der Erfinder meines Lieblingszitates bleibt aber ungenannt:

Nachdem mir lange Jahre meine guten alten Suhrkamp-Ausgaben treu gedient hatten, lese ich zur Zeit auch endlich mal Lovecraft im Original. Bei dieser Stelle am Ende von "Shadow over Innsmouth" kann man auch Gänsehaut bekommen (und den nächsten Urlaub am Meer nochmal überdenken ):

"I met also that which had been her grandmother. For eighty thousand years Pth'thya-l'yi had lived in Y'ha-nthlei, and thither she had gone back after Obed Marsh was dead. Y'ha-nthlei was not destroyed when the upper-earth men shot death into the sea. It was hurt, but not destroyed. The Deep Ones could never be destroyed, even though the palaeogean magic of the forgotten Old Ones might sometimes check them. For the present they would rest; but some day, if they remembered, they would rise again for the tribute Great Cthulhu craved. It would be a city greater than Innsmouth next time. They had planned to spread, and had brought up that which would help them, but now they must wait once more."

[Goatstorm]

Ja, "Shadow over Innsmouth" ist überhaupt eine der besten. Auch wenn man Lovecraft im Original lesen sollte, sind die Suhrkamp-Übersetzungen gar nicht mal schlecht.

Wer sich näher mit Lovecraft beschäftigen möchte, dem sei die Biographie "Gegen die Welt, gegen das Leben" von Houellebecq ans Herz gelegt (s.auch Bücher-Thread).

Da hatte wohl einer "In the Vault" von Lovecraft gelesen:
