I am anxiously awaiting the release of the new album. Just visited the HCB page on washingtonpost.com -- there's a song on there about cicadas! I can't believe that nobody told me!
Whoops! I thought I'd told people about that. My bad.
Note that in addition to "Cicada Gourmet", there's another cicada song written by HCB members, "Cicadazzzz", on the Peat And Barley" (http://mp3.washingtonpost.com/bands/peat_and_barley.shtml) page. (Peat And Barley is the name Bill and Becky perform under as a duo.)
I think that both cicada MP3 files were intended to only be up temporarily (I didn't realize they were still there), so interested folks ought to grab them soonish just in case.
It's possible that you posted a link, and I missed it. I'm pretty sure I would have noticed, though. I had heard Cicadazzzz, but I wandered there on my own from the Peat & Barley web site, because, hey, Becky Ross!
At the moment, however, Cicada Gourmet is more, ahem, apropos, because my friend tamnonlinear recently returned from a trip to Australia, where her uncle encouraged her to eat witchetty grubs (except that they weren't; read her entry for that story). She said she wanted to try them, though, and I asked her if she wanted to try cicadas, too. How often do you run across a song that talks about eating cicadas and witchetty grubs?
