Upon the R.I.P. passing of our friend John Barber, a great musician and social activist, time has been taken to remember him by listening to music. THIS TRIBUTE ALBUM FEELS RIGHT FOR THIS MOMENT, because In the early 1990s when he was very young, I insisted he listen to CACOPHONY, which was, The British punk band Rudimentary Peni in 1987 released Cacophony, an album wholly structured around H. P. Lovecraft and his works. The songs are alternatively pseudo-biographical (e.g. Better Not Born, about the young Lovecrafts contemplation of suicide) or directly inspired from his works (e.g. Nightgaunts, Drinking Song from The Tomb). The spoken-word track Twitch in particular is a curious tribute to Lovecrafts work. It begins, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, heaven knows, had a talent for writing which was of no means proportion: only what he did with this talent was a shame, and a caution and an eldritch horror, and becomes progressively more sinister. He is accused, for instance, of rewriting (for pennies) the crappy manuscripts of writers whose complete illiteracy would have been a boon to all mankind... and producing ghastly, grisly, ghoulish, and horrifying works of his own as well. https://youtube/watch?v=PgzwN4HJn_8
