8/3

I've enjoyed adding little video clips along with these, so here's one of Stephen Colbert singing Cheap Rewards (skip ahead to about 4:30 for just the song). Also, you might enjoy the new musical episode of Squidbillies, starring Cowtippers favorite, Unknown Hinson. It's called America: Why I Love Her, and it features performances from the likes of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Drive-By Truckers, Hayes Carll, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and more. It's available on adultswim.com for now, and if you're not familiar with the show, consider this your warning: it'll be delightfully offensive.
