Gummin the Gash.  Wonder what that's going to be about.

On a slightly related theme, i was just reading that Harry Shearer gets $300,000 per episode of the Simpsons. I appreciate he does a lot of the voices, but thats a huge wage.

voice over talent. Tons of them around, very few gigs that really pay well.

Ring any bells?

 

FWIW my first gig in Nashville was a voice-over  session  "because I had a really cute British accent". *sigh*

[dave_bass5]

Not sure what bells you are asking about. I guess he was in the right place at the right time back then.

Just got this today. Imho it's fun in Spinal Tap vein as you'd expect. Parody ott un-musical metal alternating with parody ott lush orchestral settings. (I do like the Steely Dan reference in 'Memo to Willie'.) Couldn't hear the bass much, might try with headphones if i can be bothered (probably not).

It is, but the main characters in top US shows are nearer to a million per show.

At least some of it is on Youtube, though there doesn't seem to be a DVD.

When asked how he managed to round up so many world-class rockers to join the project, Derek's terse response is "Pity f**k."

😁

On that like a tramp on chips.
