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 https://www.tradebit.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 https://www.tradebit.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... ".
