NEW FOR JANUARY 15, 2010
For the fourth time, Rick From New York has wrangled the controls of BRYHNH to compile the best tracks from all the episodes from 2009 into the annual Rick's Pix year in review.
And for the fourth year, Rick has knocked it out of the park.
But this year, not without drama.
Rick From New York is getting pretty good at this, and with good comes cocky.
Here's what Rick had to say this year:
I sent my "Best Of . . ." to Perry early because of a premonition. I knew what he would say . . .
Not only did he inauspiciously and brutally reject it, he said,"You have somehow managed to omit everything that makes the show unique; the unexpected live cuts, the oddball covers, the "Sucker Punch" (right song, right place) and all but stripped the colors from the palette that is BRYHNH." I briefly tried to make a case for my maligned masterpiece, but I soon realized that I was wasting my breath.
Then, just when my spirits had sunk to the depths of despair, Perry spoke the cleansing, healing phrase, "I think you have a better show in you."
Check and see . . .
Well, I remember using the words "connective tissue" and asked for a re-write.
A few days passed and when the re-write arrived, I realized I had been played for a sap.
It was obvious. Plain as the nose on my face. Rick had set me up and first sent me a "fugazi." He did have a better show in him. It was in his back pocket the whole time! It had to be.
Because no one could put a great show like this together, and have concocted his "maligned masterpiece" without purposely having his way with me.
Bastard !
Like I said, with good comes cocky . . .
