crime story (at the mountains of madness)

horsemouth dreamt his drum and bass records were getting played. he distinctly remembers. he distinctly remembers looking down at them on the turntable (except they weren't going round because he could read the labels). such is the nature of technology in dreams. 

this probably follows on from horsemouth's discovery of a gunshot john peel session from 1991. he then watched a video (see another antiquated technology whose name has migrated onto later digital technologies) of MC mercury being interviewed in the back of a cab following the release of (essentially) a solo track by him under the gunshot name. mercury gets to tell the story of gunshot a leyton/ leytonstone/ walthamstow rap crew.  horsemouth thinks he saw them once (or maybe twice), once at the old city poly student union, once up in archway (does that make sense?). 

horsemouth bought crime story/ no sell out on 12" at the record shop on islington market on his way back from work one day and the rest (as they say) is history. he saw them with fundamental at city poly (at that point a duo) who he saw again at WOMAD one time who were great fun (and horsemouth loved the music). earlier there was overlord x later there was silver bullet - horsemouth's knowledge of UK  hip-hop is distinctly patchy (no hijack, no demon boyz), it wasn't until jungle/ drum and bass that he felt he understood a scene. 

horsemouth thinks he is being interviewed by all city steve who interviewed a friend of his a while ago (about the early UK graf and BMX scenes). 

how should horsemouth record this in his monthly list of his cultural activities? should he separate out the podcasts, radio shows, blogs and vlogs from his books and films? 

horsemouth is reading h.p.lovecraft's at the mountains of madness which is the missing link between edgar allen poe's  gordon arthur pym and the thing/ alien (arguably gordon arthur pym is an offshoot from rime of the ancient mariner). a few years ago he listened to an excellent series of podcasts which were (as if) the case of charles dexter ward (and other lovecraft tales) told as if by a modern investigative journalism podcast (and very good they were too). august derleth writes the introduction. 

at the mountains of madness  is another bookbox find (the one on the way to aldi) - he returned with about 10kgs of groceries (and retired to bed). 

friday horsemouth attends an online meeting. next week his american friend is back. next weekend he goes to a not-online conference. the week after the management committee meeting.
