Ergo FDR and Hitler were not Illuminated, therefore they did not know

Hey, ther is a very cool hyper-card stack, called Cthulhu monsters or other. 
Anyway, it is a stack of graphic images of monsters, accompanied by the 
sounds they make. It is really neat! I recommend to everyone to get this 
stack. There is also a lot of useful information for every creature, in case 
you want to refresh your memory.

Hmm.  Defeated in battle, mutilated, imprisoned for eons, with a face that
can drive a human insane, and with a "Do Not Disturb" sign out.  IMHO, a
human being in this sort of situation would be filled with unfocused hostility
liable to be vented on anything that annoyed him.  I may be falling into the
old anthropomorphicising fallacy though.  Visualize your average Chthulu Cycle
Deity oozing sweetness and light and the milk of human kindness instead of
rancid ichor.  Can you do that?

Strange, I can't either.

I heard this song years ago, like 1985 maybe, by a female English group,
possibly the Slits, though I don't know, which is why I'm asking, so maybe
somebody can tell me where to find it.

It was big on synthesizers and had lyrics like (and these are random snatches)

So you're the perfect sphere...
ah-ie-yah / I am Cthulhu
Calling / Calling / Tell me can you hear me?
Fornicate
Meet (mate?) me / the Beast

So if anybody knows what this is, I'd love to get a copy finally (I had taped
it off the radio, but the tape wore through in 1990).

	Well, in all actuality, HPL made his own little map of the 
Dreamlands (as seen in The Lovecraft Companion, pp. 17).  Although the 
topography has probably chzanged a bit in the last sixty-odd years 
(Howard we miss you!).

 "Connotations"?  I always considered it a direct rip-off.  Again, does
anyone know if Metallica ever mentioned that two of their songs were based on
Lovecraft's works?  It puts them in a rather disfavorable light(and now that
they sold out... 8) ).
 Yep, its been mentioned.  Is anyone making a FAQ for this group, or did I miss
that?  Music groups would fit well in it.  The running list(that I know of) is:
  Morbid Angel
    _Altars of Madness_
  Fields of the Nephelim
    _Dawnrazor_ (1987)
    _The Nephilim_ (1988) (Cat. No. 8511-2-H on CD, from BGM)
    _Elysium_ (1990)UK import on Beggar's Banquet records(Cat. No. BEGA 115 CD)
    _Earth Inferno_ (1990) [Live recording]
  Metallica
   _Ride the Lightning_
     "Call of Kutulu"
   _Master of Puppets_
     "The Thing That Should Not Be"
 And some unknown English group has some song(Group may be the Slits)

 Well, anyone want to add to the list?

Tsathoggua was created by Clark Ashton-Smith (aka Klarkash-Ton the High Priest
of Atlantis...one of HPL's 'in' jokes and his personal tribute to CAS).
He appears (for the first time?  Someone who knows, tell us) in CAS's truly
great (funny AND scary at the same time...don't know how he pulled it off)
short story _The Tale of Satampra Zeiros_.  He's short, squat, and ugly.
His temples tend to be guarded by nasty fluid-type monsters that can
flow in any shape, abruptly becoming painfully solid.  Read the story; it's
good.
Anyone else think CAS is unjustly overlooked as one of the greatest Mythos
contributors?  I think he's unmatched as far as sheer writing skill, though
HPL did have the odd moment where he outkookied everyone else.

P.S.  I have a shoggoth due to spawn in about 2 weeks.  Anyone want some?
