Events on Monday 27th July

“**H.P. Lovecraft** was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1890. He was self-educated and lived in his birthplace all his life, working as a freelance writer, journalist, and ghostwriter. His best work - including some sixty or so short stories - was published from 1923 onwards in the pulp magazine *Weird Tales*. He died in 1937, in poverty and virtually unknown; today he is recognised as one of the great masters of supernatural fiction, the dark father of modern horror with a unique, singular vision. His personal reputation, however, is tainted by his infamous bigotry and bountiful prejudice and misogyny.”
From:

“Controversial on release and still capable of shocking today, *Bad Lieutenant* is an uncomfortable, unforgettable piece of early ’90s independent cinema anchored by a performance that feels less acted than survived.”
From:

“⛯ MssingNo “Tears in the Club” king MssingNo’s influence cannot be understated. Since dropping the proto-viral “XE2” back in 2013, his misty-eyed R\&B futurism has quietly shaped the sound of today’s underground rap and club music alike; you can hear traces of it everywhere from bladee and Fakemink to US producers like F1lthy (Playboi Carti, Lil Yachty etc).”
From:

“The Benju looks something like a crudely electrified zither operated by typewriter-like buttons. Its existence began as a Japanese children’s toy called a taishōkoto before it was adopted by Balochi musicians and made into the refined folk instrument that it is today. ”
