Yep! The Flipping the Pig song "Hide and Seek," from the album Pout, was used on the Wednesday Dec.2 episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter. It's toward the end, shortly after a vehicle rolls over. The episode title is Wrong Turn, episode 155/156. It's currently streaming at http://www.aetv.com/dog-the-bounty-hunter/ but I'm not sure how long they keep the episodes up there.

It'll be airing again on Wed Dec. 9 at 11pm and then a few hours later at 3am.  If you feel so inclined, email the show and say nice things about it. Or post stuff on the discussion board. Because, you know, that helps.

Oh, downloading the tune from iTunes helps, too.

Thanks!  And enjoy!

The new album, The Life You Thought You'd Have, was released February 28, 2009.  Because I'm slow with these things, the official announcement is first being made on here now, a month after February 28, 2009. It was released (i.e. posted online) under the name Melvyn Bernard. I'm still confused by it myself.

The 10 songs were written and recorded in a couple weeks solely with layers of vocals, acoustic guitar, and much knob-tweaking.....unless you count the 11th of the 10 songs, which is a remix, which means that drum loops were added underneath it. 

It's all available for free download and streaming at www.flippingthepig.com.

Enjoy!

FLIPPING THE PIG – My Heroic Cadences

Is flipping pigs similar to the cow tipping we saw in the movie "Heathers?" Or is it something that you do when flipping the bird just isn't enough?

Whatever the case, this quirky experimental album was written and recorded in a month (February even!), although it came out better than some albums people spend a year on. Very interesting sounds and unique vocals make this something you want to listen to several times just to discover all that is there.

Melodic and quite original, this CD recalls a bit of They Might Be Giants in the approach. As one of my musician friends likes to say, "Let's have fun with this one." A good time indeed.

I talk to myself a lot.  By "a lot" I mean pretty much constantly.  I mentioned it to a therapist once, years ago during six months of shrinkage; she smiled and said, "You know, there's medication for that."  I don't really consider it a "problem," though.  She was a good therapist.  Spikey hair. 

There are only so many days in a row that a grown man can drive alone at night listening repeatedly to Janis Ian's "At Seventeen" before it takes a toll on his emotional stability.

Firstly, happy February 29.

Secondly, with the smell of last November's album, You Get The Idea, still in the air (take a whiff.....mmmmmmm) I just completed and posted a new album, My Heroic Cadences, on www.flippingthepig.com. 

Thus, I blog.

Is 'blog' a verb?

I'll 'splain more later.  Bedsheets beckon.

Dear Santa,

For Christmas, I'd like somebody to make me an animated Flash video for the song, "Must Be Nice." 

Thanks,

Jeff
