Happy New Year

Happy New Year from Spendrick Hogsbottom!

Spendrick Hogsbottom feat. Leon "Itchy" Pensonhurst: "Auld Lang Syne / Legalize It" mp3

Just so you all know, I don't do drugs, and I don't advocate drugs, and I don't particularly think legalization of pot is a good idea. "Legalize It" is rather a reggae song by Peter Tosh, and it just seemed to fit when coupled with this reggae version of "Auld Lang Syne".

The story goes that Leon "Itchy" Pensonhurst was a famed dub producer, on probation for a drug violation. He was supposed to make an entire album of songs with Spendrick (one of many fruitless efforts on Spendrick's part to change his image and appeal to The Youth). They recorded this song as a joke, as a b-side for the song "It's a Black, Black Christmas (Without You)" -- which, incidentally, now actually exists: my first co-writing credit is a Christmas country song -- a single only available to Sir Spendrick's fan club members. Anyways, since there are only 7 members of his fan club, it is thus extremely rare, and yet still strangely worthless. Somehow the authorities heard the bong sounds and coughing in the middle of the song, and arrested "Itchy" for suspected drug violations. He tested positive, and from that moment on has sworn himself to ruining Sir Spendrick's life as soon as he got out of prison. Which is why Spendrick eshews public appearences.
