Hot House 5 for May

Jamie Gaughran-Perez


pocket-stache<< Pocket Stache from Shawnimals
The creators of our beloved Pocket Ninjas comes back for more with the Pocket Stache.

Rotofugi is plum out of ‘em – so you’ll have to look around to find one of your own, or wait on the nimble fingers of Shawn and his clone army.

Make sure to hit their site to read up on the Stache’s checkered past
The Map >>
Many times during this second season of Lost, my wife and I wondered allowed to one another, “did they decide to just suck?” Whoever left the writing staff was a real loss. But with The Map, Mr. Abrams stepped up the game – wrapping a thousand questions in a tiny package, promising answers… someday… sorta, and giving us something that’s just frickin’ cool. Google away for more than enough views of it.

tortoise+bonnie<< Thunder Road – Tortoise + Bonnie “Prince” Billy
As the Boss said, and then Billy,

…roll down the window
and let the wind blow back your hair…
Well the night’s bustin’ open,
these two lanes will take us anywhere…


My first driving song for the season. Check it out over at Thrill Jockey.
The Wonder Pets >>
No shit, this is the best thing to come out for kids’ in a long time. Stripped away everything the kids don’t care about and all that’s left is pure amazing. The kids TV critics (all three of them) like to call it “the first operetta for pre-schoolers”… if that gives you a sense.

Current house fave: “Wonder Pets Save the Skunk.”

Get a good sense of it online

merlin><< 5ives, Merlin’s List of Five Things
Who has time for a list of 10 funny things, Dave? Really!

One of the many inspirations behind the Hot House 5’s – when he’s on he’s on. I tried to pick one of the more absurd as my example, below. But this guy’s humor is wide ranging, so give it a whirl and another and another.
Enjoi, I say!
