about

"It's not just a man's right to involve himself in the problems of this moment, whether he or she be 18 or 78, it's a duty, an obligation, a necessity. To know and not to care, that is the ultimate in obscenity" - Rod Serling

Proceeds from the initial release of Mink Swimming Pools were donated to the ACLU and NPR (We raised over 200 dollars for each) , two organizations that in light of current events in the US can use our help over next four years.

Since that time, Uncommon Nasa has been awarded "The Serling Award" from the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation for his work on "Mink Swimming Pools". The organization is based in Rod Serling's hometown of Binghamton, NY. "This award is given for achievement in the artistic aesthetic Mr. Serling endowed upon the world. Nominees are considered annually".

The digital release is now a "Pay What You Want" download available here, there is also a cassette pressing available at I Had An Accident Records: ihadanaccidentrecords.com/album/mink-swimming-pools (Limited Run of 50) and there is also a CD pressing of MSP that is only available on Tour via Uncommon Nasa himself (or by special email request).

Rod Serling's work most often had an underlying tone of social justice in it and causes like civil rights, quality and honest broadcasting were important him and his work.

Rod's work on the Twilight Zone among other television and film scripts is as vital and relevant today as it was in the 1950's, 60's and 70's. He was quoted referring to Hollywood as "The Land of Mink Swimming Pools", thus the title of this limited edition collection of songs. The Cassette run of Mink Swimming Pools will be limited only to 50, and it's digital online presence will only exist for 2 months after it's release on January 20th, 2017. After March 20th, 2017, this release will be made free for a limited time only.
