Still raining? Oh, sure. Hand me the paddle and the sieve.
Well, most of our homeland in upstate New York is under water today. The abandoned Cheney Hammer Mill is practically floating away. What better time to crack out an advance copy of our new album, Cowboy Scat: Songs in the Key of Rick? What else is there to do, right?
We just released the June edition of our podcast, THIS IS BIG GREEN, and in celebration of the arrival of summer, it is a two-hour marathon review of the new album, featuring the all-star cast of Ned Trek:
- Mr. Ned himself, the talking dressage horse
- Willard Mittilius Romney, commander of the starship Free Enterprise
- Doc Tom Coburn, who sounds a lot like Foghorn Leghorn
- Carl Sagan (deceased), famous astrophysicist
- Richard Perle, neocon chickenhawk supreme
- The robot Richard Nixon
- Mr. Sulu (still strangely hanging out with these losers)
- Lee Majors (still strangely introducing these losers)
- Mr. Andy Williams (…. not!)
You’ll hear biting commentary on every track. Then you’ll hear the track. Then you’ll hear … something else, I’m not quite sure what. (I was half asleep and completely underwater while editing this, it will surprise no one to learn.)
The actual album Cowboy Scat: Songs in the Key of Rick is ready for release, so watch this space: { }. If you watch it long enough and you don’t see anything, by all means contact us. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to locate some buckets. About fifty of them. And sandbags!
