Inside the May podcast.
Well, I'm back from watering the man-sized tuber. Never thought his personal life decisions would so dramatically affect my schedule, but apparently so. He has to be watered two or 
three times a day, and it looks like I'm nominated to be his personal gardener. By default. (Well, I can't leave it to anti-Lincoln. He'd set the poor bastard root vegetable on fire!)
Anywho, this seems like a good time to talk about our May THIS IS BIG GREEN podcast and what you're likely find lurking inside that largish mp3 file. Here's the rundown:
Ned Trek XVIII: Captain Fricassee - This is a riff on the "classic" Star Trek episode "The Enemy Within", in which the captain - in this case, Willard Mittilius Romney - is divided by a transporter malfunction into a good half and a bad half. Our version features a Romney doppelganger that embodies the southern reactionary buried within every conservative candidate for higher office. Gluttony saves the day. Don't ask ... just listen.
Song: Brotherly Love - a half-assed, live rendition of a tent revival gospel song originally sung by Robert
Goulet on an episode of The Big Valley. Again... don't ask. Sometimes we just do stupid shit, and sometimes the audio recorder is running ... and sometimes those two things happen at the same time. That's how a podcast is born.
Song: Going to Andromeda, by Big Green - This is a song produced on a 4-track cassette portastudio back in 1991, I believe. Matt wrote it, and as it happens it's one of my favorites of his songs (and that's saying something). Lo-fi but worth a listen.
Song: Good Old Boys Roundup (Demo Version), by Big Green - This one we've played on the podcast before. It's one of mine, and we've never finished a full-blown version of it. So it's just me howling and strumming a guitar. And banging a piano. (And by banging, I mean playing ... don't put words in my mouth.)
The rest is talk ... talk about dumb stuff. Bad movies, etc. You get the picture. Give it a listen sometime and tell me what you think. No, really - tell us and we'll post your comments right here. Promise.
