Healthy Brain Pills (a.k.a. HBP) is the new 10-song CD from Oblivious Minnow. HBP features an all-new cast of special musical guests along with the utilization of new recording technology to create a musical experience not to be equaled anytime soon. Below is the track list and special guest credits. All the tracks feature Jim Scharosch on bass & vocals and John Morgan on drums & percussion

01 Magic Hat #9

Features Chris Kellner on guitar and a cast of nearly a dozen each yelling a number during the chorus. An ear-pleasing rocker about the joys of the semi-unfiltered, wheat/citrus beer called Magic Hat #9. This classic summer time ale is brewed by the Magic Hat Brewing Co. in Burlington, Vermont.

02 Tipple Time

Features Rich Toomsen on guitar. A very twisted, semi-funky number celebrating the joys of imbibing your favorite libation on St. Patrick's Day (or any day for that matter). Check out the crazy guitar run at the very end.

03 HBP

Features Jeff Ksiazek on saxophone, J-Smooth Parsons on a spoken word section and a cast of nearly a dozen on backing vocals. This is the schnizzit... bass/drums/sax throwing it down fast and freaky. Wailing soprano sax soloing at the beginning, fat and furry layered sax during the rest. This song warns of the evils of too many Healthy Brain Pills, a real product found in a Chinese market in Chicago. And no, that's not the reciting of a Satanic incantation by J-Smooth, it's the drunken reading of the genera, species and subspecies name of the ingredients of HBP.

04 Bluebird

Features Bruce Kaiser on guitar and Kelli Hastings on backing vocals. An up-tempo number with an almost bluesy guitar feel (ALMOST!). In an odd twist, this song has the girlfriend of the real-life "Bluebird" on a fine harmony vocal.

05 The Monkey Song

Features Tuttle on guitar, Matt Ricklefs on monkey sounds and no drum kit. All percussion done with a digitally sampled drum pad (though that is a real gong at the end). Lyrics co-written by Amanda Morgan (she also co-wrote "Orange Cars" from the first Oblivious Minnow CD). It's called the Monkey Song because it's about monkeys (or is it really about monkeys being smarter than most humans?). If you're not down with monkeys, then you just don't get it.

06 Knuckle Dragger

Features Rich Toomsen on guitar and banjo. This aggressive song harkens back to the Pearls 4 Swine sound largely due to the banjo and guitar stylings of Puffy Shoes Toomsen. This is Oblivious Minnow at it's most primal (hence the title). Just a fast, fire snortin, stomp-a-long of a song.

07 Right is Red

Features Bruce Kaiser on guitar (and nope, that's not Bruce Willis that you hear towards the end). Bruno (Kaiser not Willis) again does his "almost blues with a bit of deep-fried chicken-pickin" guitar during the breakdown in this one. The lyrics to this song were "inspired" by Jed, the pawn shop owner from the movie Pulp Fiction.

08 Not Today

Features Jeff Ksiazek on saxophone. As close to a traditional rockin R 'n B sound as Oblivious Minnow is ever going to get. Lyrics to this song are about being a lazy bastard.

09 Four Finger

10 Eye of Knute

Features Rich Toomsen on guitar (electric and acoustic) and Matt Ricklefs on backing vocals. This is a cover song originally done by the band Wooly Mammoth from 1992. Why cover a song by the band Wooly Mammoth from 1992? Core Oblivious Minnow members were also core Wooly Mammoth members and it was one of the first songs written by Wooly Mammoth. So to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the song, Oblivious Minnow, in a sense, covered themselves. The covering of this song is also to celebrate that the songwriting and playing has come a long way from songs of this very lunkheaded nature.
