Hoochie Koo Time

Big wave of the fin to all of those who came here thanks to my Uncle, who keeps pimping the Cod like a dayboat captain with the rent due. Much obliged. What happens here is anyone's guess, mostly what I do in the kitchen, and what I listen to while I'm there. And whatever else occurs to me, which is one of the nice things about having an "anonymous internet blog." I tried having my blog on a dry-erase board at the end of the driveway, but did not get the kind of traffic I wanted, what with being Upstate and all. What makes me almost as happy as a home opener for the champs with my man Wake going  is the miraculous reappearance of  Big Stick's Drag Racing Underground. I located my copy, that is. There are many ways to love this record.
-Early graphic work from Haze.
-A now-doubly-poignant protest song called the "Schwarzkopf Shuffle," consisting of a grimy "Taps" trumpet riff over a background of simulated machine gun fire.
-A Flannery O'Connor fake Southern noir with a dragraacing theme called "Hellfire"so badass it has  undigested chunks of Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hotrod" in its large intestine.
-This record was released w/o identifying  the band, due to legal badnesses.  However, retarded wigs and an obsession with drag racing are enough for the dedicated fan, as these are the hallmark of this duo, consisting of Yanna Trance and John Gill.  Drag Racing Underground has some dreary spots, but it is difficult to narrow down to 2 tracks to post.  Everyone should own this record.

Like my girl Jenny says, these tracks will get you going, esp. if you swig a goth smoothie while you do:
1/2 cantaloupe,  peeled and seeded
1 whole lemon, in 1/4ths
1-2 cups frozen blackberries.
Ice
Blend until the ice is quiet. Tasty, and a deep SG purple, which makes it much cooler than most smoothies.
(Update: if you want a thicker, more traditionally smoothie-like texture, add a bannana. For that matter, do whatever you want--it is fruit in a blender, not a vaccine.)

The WHOLE lemon? Really??

[the punisher]

thanks again for another nice recipe.

idea: wouldn't it be more goth to leave the cantaloupe seeds in? they prolly contain a measurable level of arsenic, after all...

[Fesser]

The whole lemon. Zest is Goth. Pulp is Goth. This is not some John Mayer-type smoothie. This is intense. But, at the same time, smooth. As for the cantaloupe seeds, that is the kind of question that might be best addressed by a physician of some description.

Has to be asked:

Is pith Goth?

(Though I imagine I destroyed any credibility I would have had on this issue by blogging about the most standard possible smoothie a couple weeks ago, in a fit of irrepressible sunniness and oversharing.)
