This year’s Bah & the Humbugs album features 12 new songs about the mishaps of the Christmas season, including one that features the work of Rick Aster.
“The Man With the Sack of Toys” is an Aster-penned revision of the traditional song “The House of the Rising Sun,” and features Rick singing in two character voices that may surprise longtime fans.
Rick’s electric guitar playing and background vocals can also be heard throughout the record.
The album, The 12 Symptoms of Christmas was recorded over the past four months and is being prepared for a November 27 release.

The new Bah & the Humbugs CD A Very Commercial Christmas is especially suitable for shuffle playing, according to Rick Aster, who explains how it works: “Put the A Very Commercial Christmas CD in a playlist with a selection of ordinary Christmas music and play it in Party Shuffle mode. Or you could put the CD along with your favorite Christmas music CDs in a multi-CD player in shuffle mode. You get a couple of songs and then a Humbugs commercial, and you never know what's coming next. It’s a great way to keep smiling at Christmas.”

Bah & the Humbugs this month recorded a new Christmas Eve podcast for 2006. The hour-long episode, titled “A Very Commercial Christmas,” features a baseball game between the Red Sox and the Angels, a mind-boggling giveaway at all-commercial radio station WCOMMERCIAL, and other inevitable excesses that occur when the spirit of commercialism takes over the Christmas season.
The podcast will be released early in December, in plenty of time for fans to listen in on Christmas Eve.
