Hot House 5 For October Cometh
Jamie Gaughran-Perez
 | [tv] A steam punk sentient robot? Mr. Dog? Emperor Zombie? Abe Lincoln (yes, that Abe Lincoln)? A monkey with a machine gun? Nothing really describes this one sprung from the mind of Mike Mignola (Hellboy). If you scour, I’m sure you can find it online somewhere. We hope (yet doubt) they’ll make more. |
[music] A little folk and a lotta crazy. A little instruments and a lotta drums. I’m loving their freeform approach to songwriting (Lyrics? Fuck’em. We’re just going to screech on this one). This is my fave of their albums and “Tigers” is my favorite song. Everybody’s loving everybody’s loving tigers tigers tigers. Get it |  |
 | [web] Chalk this up as another doing one thing and doing it great web site in the tradition of Is Lost a Repeat?. To paraphrase someone else, the thing about weather.com is that you have to think about whether you need your coat or not. Check for yourself |
[food] This book will wring out your soul, in a good way. A man takes care of his son in a post-apocalyptic world, simple enough. If you’ve read a post-apocalyptic book you’ve been through this plot before. But the telling is incredible. And it’s a quick read. And yes it is almost entirely gray. Get it Extra credit: Samuel Delaney’s Dhalgren. |  |
 | [food] So you’re trying to make mousaka and the recipe is calling for “herbs de provence.” Herbs de provence? What the hey? Enter Gourmet Sleuth’s handy substitutions guide. Can’t find cracker meal? They’ll hook you up. Get subbing |
