Meat the Farm Beetles

What's up with this release? I can't find much info on it. Is it still available?

I think we may have a copy or two of the M8ed version laying around..

Actually...we could easily bring the original "correct" farmbeetles back from the grave.

looks like Swirling Mellow / Meat the Farmbeetles is now gone from Radrockers and/or Christian Discs.

Yes, please!

And maybe it's just me, but,
It would be cool to have Swirling Mellow on it's very own CD as well! Pleased

Swirling Mellow is already on CD

Dr Rich, Swirling Mellow is already on CD. M8 released it with Meat around circa 2000.

Not "sharing" with The Farm Beetles.

You know what I mean! Pleased

Been planning to do just that actually... possibly as a CafePress print-on-demand disc or something like that.

To me, those two discs just don't make sense together. Then you've got all of the other M8 baggage... for example, thats one release where they actually changed artwork that they weren't supposed to change. Its all just annoying.

Posted by Dr Rich on 04-08-2008 at18:44:

Woo-hoo! That sounds very cool! Cool

Posted by RoxxRegime on 04-08-2008 at19:54:

That all sounds good and everything, but... what IS this album? Is it a parody? A covers album? Are the songs true to the originals, or is it with a DA spin? Can someone describe it?

Speaking as a musician who used to work with cafepress -- I'd recommend kunaki.com -- same basic concept, at less than a quarter of the price.

Just sayin'. Smile

Farmbeetles is a silly hillbilly covers band.. its purely a comedy release.

Posted by Dr Rich on 04-08-2008 at20:15:

I thought it was straight blue-grass!

I bought it found drunken hill-billy noise! Shocked

Great stuff! Pleased

I thought it was OK.

But as a comparison, I think Hayseed Dixie doing AC-DC is much better than Farm Beetles doing Beatles.

Posted by Dr Rich on 04-09-2008 at17:09:

That was fun too.

Posted by jyroflux on 04-09-2008 at18:09:

It took me a while to 'get' the Farm Beetles, but now I think it's hi-larious.
