Episode 7.0 Michael Cisco's - The Divinity Student

Listen ...

This time Mike and Mike take on the dreamy word feast of Michael Cisco's The Divinity Student. They make solemn vows to read something less erudite next time and shamefully beg for listener email. With not a little Pecksniffery, they create The Formaldehyde Mist cocktail and refuse to drink it.


The Formaldehyde Mist

1- Mason jar of locally produced Moonshine (or Everclear)
1- Pickled Onion
1- Pickled Okra
1- Pickled Pattipan Squash
a splash of organic tomato juice.

Chill the Moonshine in the freezer, pour into a glass, add pickled bits, and a splash of tomato juice.

Episode 6.0 - David Lindsay's Voyage to Arcturus

Listen ...

A rousing, rambling triad about Lindsay's seminal psychedelic novel. Mike(x2) take on Gnosticism, Mormonism, and Peter Max-ism as they make hay out of this philosophical kill-fest. The cocktail recipe comes at the end. We suggested drinking before you read the book and while listening to the podcast in a nod to state-dependent learning.


Cocktail
Voyage to Arcturus:







1 shot blue curaçao
1 shot Galliano
1 shot Campari
1 shot Chartreuse
1 shot Jägermeister.

Line them up in front of you. Think cosmic thoughts. Knock back each shot in quick succession and soon you will be on a voyage to Arcturus. Hang on to your third-eye tentacle.


Music: Something the Mikes did themselves.

Episode 5.0: Jack Williamson's Darker Than You Think

Listen

A quick and dirty discussion of Jack Williamson's classic werewolf novel Darker Than You Think. We unbuckle our Jung and Freud on this one (please forgive us, we're the products of our over estimation of our education). Plus, the Two Mikes make solemn pledges, just like the good boy scouts they were.

Cocktail

The White Wolf Daiquiri
2 parts white rum
2 parts unsweetened coconut/pineapple juice
1 tsp powdered sugar

Shake with ice and strain into martini glass. Six of these and you'll be doing terrible things to your friends too.


Music: Graveyard by Outside.

Episode 4.0 Brian Lumley's Necroscope

Listen

4/22/07

A no-holds-barred smackdown over Brian Lumley's genre-stretching break from his orthodox Lovecraftian roots. Mike S. hates it then kind of likes it. Mike M. loves it then hates it then forgets what they were talking about. Enjoy the table pounding and glass clinking as the guys continue to suss out the mysteries of audio production. We blessedly edited out the ear-blasting poodle yapping.

Cocktail

The Mobius Stripper
2 parts gin (lending a properly English refinement)
1 part Becherovka (to add a cloven Eastern European air)
2 parts Campari (made from only the bloodiest of oranges)

Shake well with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Put on your vampire teeth and enjoy.
