Pumpkins Part E: The Final Chapter by Baby Huey
Talk about some bad planning. I forgot that this October has five Tuesdays. I had four killer recipes set up, then ... oh, shit. Another Tuesday? Dammit. So, we've done a soup, a side dish, and two desserts. How do you finish a dinner? Cocktail time! One caveat: I'm pulling this recipe out of my ass as we speak, but it sounds tasty. 1/2 gal apple cider And, being that it's the end of the month, it's time for the monthly metal wrap-up, so let's get crackin. Favorite Album: Seriously, if you want to learn about this, go get the record, or listen to a sample here. I reviewed it last week. Go read it here. It took me a few listens to get behind this record at all. Their last album was far-above-average New Wave of American Heavy Metal. These guys are fantastic guitarists, and the solos just shredded. This album, though, is basically a Metallica tribute -- basic Bay Area thrash. As a Metallica tribute album, The Crusade gets an A. As a Trivium album, it's like a B- album. At best. Fresno-based Light this City reminds me of Sweden's Arch Enemy in many ways. For one, they both have a female vocalist who growls as good or better than many of her male counterparts. The guitars are extremely melodic, but still remain heavy. The drums are lightning-fast and perfectly on-beat. The songs are catchy and fun to listen to. All in all, I was very pleasantly surprised by these guys. What I want to know is, what metal have you been listening to? PPS. Happy Birthday, Mom. Baby Huey's mom is not available for "your mom" jokes. *that's right.. they've given him four hours of madness instead of two. |

I think about three gallons of this drink might get me through this week.

you could also not heat it up, add some vanilla or butter pecan ice cream and make kickass milkshakes.
