New Music Friday
Summer is nearing an end which is the only reason I can think why there are three releases with “die” in their name or title of the album. The good news is all three “die” titles are tied to amusing records. Cape Town, South African hip hop electronic artists Die Antwood are releasing their new […]
Who Are You Louis C.K.
I’m seeing Louis CK tonight. I can’t wait. I wanted to post my favorite scene from his possibly late show “Louie” This 3 minute clip perfectly sums up a lot of what I’ve learned about Fatherhood. There’s something cool that you love and you want to pass that love that you feel for this subject but your […]
New Music Friday: Fools Day edition
Since it’s April 1, here’s an opportunity to check out a couple comedy albums that might give you some chuckles or guffaws or chortles or some cackles or at least a titter. Brooks Wheelan‘s album “This Is Cool, Right?” talks about his Brothers and Sisters. I guess that’s why he copied the Allman Brother’s album […]

Even though Stephen is Catholic, on his old show he discussed the meaning of Rosh Hashanah in the only way the character of Stephen Colbert could be accepting out forgiveness […]

Mitch Hedberg
Mitch Hedberg is like Nick Drake or Ernie Kovacs. Nick’s music and Kovac’s television show were miles ahead of their time. And are always re-discovered my each succeeding generation. No one looked at the world quite like Mitch. George Carlin may have examined words like a surgeon but Mitch just took a word or phrase […]
