We all know that Decemberists smarty pants Colin Meloy is where it's at. He can rant about literary masterpieces, wax poetic and write a guitar hook… but now he's taking on the role of Jeb Bush in Comedy Central's cartoon series Lil Bush. He joins the ranks of past noteworthy Lil Bush participants like Frank Black, Dave Grohl and Jeff Tweedy who have also lended their voice to the show. Rumor has it that Iggy Pop will play Donald Rumsfeld in the near future.

The show airs TONIGHT at 10:30p which means you can watch Colin's premier in between the KING 5 10p and 11p news broadcasts (during which TIG will be mentioned as "Blog of the Week")

I have yet to see an episode of this show yet, but my interest is certainly piqued. Has anyone out there seen it? Your thoughts?
