notes
Meat Wheel News is the end result of about ten years of Richard Leps and Rick Ferriss playing music together. This is their greatest non-hits album. The songs were recorded at various places around Tampa from 1991 to 2000. Older mixes of some of the songs used to be available at mp3.com. In 2003 Rick remastered what seemed to be the best collection of available recordings.
Meat Wheel News contains 13 original songs plus Stardust, the old Hoagy Carmichael/ Mitchell Parrish standard. Violin, vocal, acoustic guitar, bass; drums on some songs by Ed Graham.
In addition to the songs, the Meat Wheel News CD also contains a copy of the meatwheelnews.com website, with background info and mp3s (including some bonus songs).
'Meat Wheel' refers to a poem by Jack Kerouac: Chorus 211 of Mexico City Blues. It begins: "The wheel of the quivering meat conception / Turns in the void expelling human beings, / Pigs, turtles, frogs, insects, nits / Mice, lice, lizards, rats, roan / Racinghorses, poxy bucolic pigtics, / Horrible unnameable lice of vultures... ".

an awesome culmination of their work together
author: Jean ThomasThe music on this CD is really fine. The artists have been playing music together for years and this is an awesome culmination of their work together. Emily Bowl is one of my favorites - it's so cool. Each song has its own character and all of them are good. It's especially fine to have heard the songs in their earlier recordings; to hear them so finely polished on this CD is a real treat!
