Follow-up to yesterday’s Bacon Ray find.
Hey, thanks, tomorrowville!
If you’re like me and not on the MySpace, here’s an MP3 version.
Man, this was so fun to play live. I’ll never get sick of the G-F#-Em-D walkdown.

Bacon Ray - The Golden Master (by Tomorrowville)
Bacon Ray was a Florida rock band from the ’90s, featuring famous Internet person Merlin Mann (of 43 Folders, You Look Nice Today, Back to Work, and Roderick on the Line fame). I snagged this, a copy of their album “The Golden Master,” and being a fan of Merlin’s various podcast and web endeavours, I thought I’d share.
Wow. Go, Tomorrowville!

In 1998, this was my “They’ll Need a Crane.”
Tough motherfucking year.
Thank God for the rock music.

Bacon Ray - “Dance of the Monotremes” (1999)
As my daughter’s interest in Perry the Platypus has deepened, I’ve wanted to share this tune from my old band’s 1999 swan song CD with her.
It’s about the unique characteristics of everybody’s favorite egg-laying mammal, and—yes, even some eleven years later—I do truly hope it helps people.
Aside from finding even the flimsiest pretense to gather and consume a ludicrous volume of Busch beer, education was always Bacon Ray’s primary focus.
You’re welcome.
(Many thanks to my long-time Tallahassee pal, Pete Butler, for digging this one up)
For my pal, Mark.
Some time around 1996 or so, Bacon Ray did a handful of promo carts for Tallahassee’s awesome college radio station, V89. I think they still play them sometimes. Here’s one.
