Lovecraftian Links: S.T. Joshi Video Interview, The Dagons Band, and more…

Now this is what I call “must-see TV”: Here’s our friend W.H. Pugmire interviewing S.T. Joshi:

The Dagons: If you’re not yet familiar with the band The Dagons, you gotta check them out.  From their Wikipedia entry: The Dagons are a two-piece band from Los Angeles, made up of Karie Jacobson (guitar, vocals) and Drew Kowalski (drum set and sitar).

Eldritch: Last, but not least, check out this new Lovecraftian comic.  The first issue goes on sale June 15, and you can even download a free preview.  From their “About” page: ANYA SOBCZEK (SUB-CHECK) is a snarling science major with an arm full of Darwin tattoos. Her brother OWEN is a sensitive young thing in a coven of teenage occultists. The Sobczek sibs have always been brutally competitive, but now that Owen’s blood has started BUBBLING with ancient tentacled abominations, their rivalry’s about to enter a vast new dimension of cosmic terror…
