"New Mexican Overdrive" Released on CD 

The Lodestone Catalog and Otherworld Media today announced the release
of the fifth disc in the George Tirebiter Collection, "New Mexican
Overdrive." 

NMO is a live broadcast from the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts and
another episode in Tirebiter's fascinating career as radio star, movie
director, political candidate, and occasional "ear" for a billionaire
industrialist. 

"New Mexican Overdrive tells the story of George's Trip into the New
Mexico desert to observe the dramatic test of the government's newest
Super-Sonic weapon.  This thing could win the cold war.  But at what
cost to the domestic environment?

Produced by Judith Walcutt for Otherworld Media, the performance stars
David Ossman as George Tirebiter with a large and comical cast of
Seattle-area stage and voice-over actors. 

Also on the disc, is the bonus extra "Tirebiter's Time Machine."  This
time, George is off to 1938 to report back for Public Radio listeners.
Time travel is tricky, though -- you never know what, or who, you will
find. 

The disc is part of a collection of the works of "legendary" Hollywood
actor George Leroy Tirebiter.  Mr. Tirebiter is best known to
contemporary audiences for his work with the Firesign Theatre, including
his featured role in "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers"
