Out and About
If you get this strange feeling that The Plastic E-Gulls are starting to sound like a rap-rock band, don't worry-it's only temporary. Their third album is produced by street-smart turf-owning rap teacher Tough Guy, brother to music supervisor Slim Guy.
And yes, you've read correctly; Ian and Ellen have married. You can learn about their honeymoon escapades on the next album, "Because I Can: The Wedding Album".
Notes
Tough Guy has opted not to have his rap lyrics published.
"Rensissance Man (remix)" contains two contest-winning poems ("Whirlpool" and "I Don't Believe You") submitted by anonymous writers.
Various noises were sampled for "Morning Walk", including a power drill and a car horn.
All songs written by Ian, Rap by Tough Guy, except:
Tracks 1 and 8 by Blinstone and Furelli
