Hey, campers – we just posted another of our live recordings on YouTube. It’s the song “Holiday”, the version we included on our collection LIVE FROM NEPTUNE. The song was recorded in 1994 and features the usual suspects, Matt, Joe, and John, with Jeremy Shaw on guitar. This was part of a day-long session in Jeremy’s basement, a demo project, featuring five original songs played live and captured on DAT tape, no overdubs.
Big Green drops a bomb on independence day with a clumsily patched-together show that features an archive Ned Trek selection, some old live tracks, and a drunken narrative to serve as your guide. Cue fireworks.

Sure, we’re taking forever about finishing the next installment of our podcast. And because you’ve been so damn patient, we’re posting this mix of one of the eight songs that will appear in the Ned Trek episode included therein, entitled “Romney and You Know It”. Willard sings this hopeful little number about his dream of a brokered G.O.P. convention. Give it a listen and let us know what you think. (Swearing is welcomed.)
