In honor of the resignation of three CZAC members under bizarre circumstances, Bender Melon recorded an old song about the unappreciated subtlety of the local terrigenous detritus.

Timothy Winters
Just in time for the election, Bender reminds us of why we should throw the bums out. Written last year during one of the countless demonstrations of incompetency of our current national leaders, here's an extension of the poem "Timothy Winters" by Charles Causley. Bender Melon apologizes for the loss of wit and literacy in the original poem, but the groovy GarageBand drum track makes up for any shortcomings.

Mr. Wrinkles
With lyrics ostensibly about a dog dressed like girl Angelina,
Astronaut has succeeded in dragging another song from Mr. Melon.

Jack Grimes
As everybody's writing campaign songs, Bender Melon took it upon
himself to write one for Jack Grimes, candidate for President since
2000. Here's a sloppy acoustic demo. With any luck, an electric version
will follow.

It's up here for her approval before continuing...

Little Ms. Pinky
When Bender Melon had trouble remembering the lyrics to Little Sadie
while noodling, he noticed that the lyrics for Zappa's
"Ms. Pinky" fit perfectly and the rest became history. Here is a
lost wax cylinder recording of Meat Machine singing
with extra noodly accompaniment by Melon. Please reference the
video of the rehearsal in Jasper National Park where Bender tries to
remember which tune it was...

The covers (and transportation songs) project continues... in this
installment, Bender Melon attempts to take Mississippi John Hurt to the Gates of Dawn.

Bender Melon covers a song by A. Space. Recorded live on a loop pedal (not to
make any excuses...). Perhaps this will inspire her to put the
original up for people to hear?

Jasper National Park
Attempted to climb Mt. Edith Cavell via the East Ridge and turned
around. I blame
global warming but it could have been the fear of death. We managed
three other scrambles on the off days and much noodling on the guitar
and ukelele (good idea Nate).

Managerial Dementia
While this reads like an Onion post, Secrecy News describes a new
policy within the Congressional Research Service requiring approval
from senior management before distributing information to the
public. Maybe a bit dry, but it cracked Sounding Stone
up... particularly the part about Captain Queeg.
