Artie Lange and the Howard Stern Show

One of my favorite comedians is Artie Lange. He was one of the original cast members on the first season of Mad Tv,  but is known more as a talent on the Howard Stern Show. (no longer on Stern) I had the opportunity to see him live about a year before he attempted suicide. Luckly he survived and can be found in any airplane bathroom having a piss with Newt Gingritch and Satan.

 I hope he can put together another set of stand-up and hit the road soon. If he can make a come back, he could very well be the Keith Richards of stand-up. And that's a complement Artie!


Here he is on Joy talking about The Howard Stern Show, Newt Gingritch and Satan

DIRTY PUNKER SCRATCH OUT - 401 East MIX

I'm planning a road trip in March to see the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Montreal Canadiens. A real classic when it comes to hockey rivalries. Anyways - the trip on the road will be like 12-14 hours there and back. So I thought I would get started on a " mixtape" as we once called them. Back in the day, I made tons of these cassette tapes. I would make up crazy names for the mix. Names like " Don't spill the tequilla Mix"....."Sad Songs For A Lost Bitch"...or..."This Caddy Eldo Rocks"

 ...but as I plan and wait like a maurader for this trip to Montreal, I'm calling this one:

Zach Galifianakis Live At The Purple Onion

Zach Galifianakis
 Live At The Purple Onion 2007 VBR

 The first time I saw Zach was like most people. From the movie The Hangover. I knew right away this guy had talent. He reminded me of the "serious" John Belushi in the black comedy "Neibours". I went out and watched most of the stuff he did including a really weird film called "Visioneers" Here is an offbeat performance as a stand-up comedian. The show was recorded at the San Francisco club The Purple Onion in June 2005. In addition to Zach's routine, which features Zach's trademark dry humor, a large portion of which is accompanied by a light piano piece played by Zach as bed music. It ends with Zach tearing off pages of a large pad of paper which contain prewritten, largely self deprecating jokes, while the Pacific Boychoir[1] sings Greatest Love of All. The DVD contains two separate sections which are cut to throughout the routine, often at times where the content of the routine may have to do with the content of the other portions. One of the sections is an unscripted roadtrip to The Purple Onion in a Volkswagen bus with Zach and his friend Joe Wagner. The banter and happenings that occur seem to provide insights to where Zach gets some of his comedy. The bus ends up breaking down just short of their goal so they finish the trip in a GoCar, a small rental vehicle meant for tourists. The roadtrip portrays Zach as a fun-loving guy, different than his stage persona. The second section is a loosely scripted interview of Zach's brother "Seth Galifianakis" (played by Zach) by Brian Unger. The DVD was released March 6, 2007.

London Underground - Honey Drops (2011)

One thing I never get tired of, is a good ol' Hammond riff. Well with this recording you get plenty of sweet honey drops of Hammond. A full on prog instrumental space session.... very cool stuff. Makes me long for a hot summer night. A road trip north up highway 69 with the windows down. Warm wind with nothing but my headlights and the odd critter eyeballs staring at me as I blow by. Back to reality...it's freakin January in Canada...so until the summer solstice - I guess spinning this will do. And by the looks of it, my cool fuzzy Cat (Sir James Marshall Hendrix) is diggin it too. Groovy road trip tunes - wino

London Underground biography A side project of STANDARTE's drummer/vocalist Daniele Caputo, this fairly recent Italian trio took their name from the very style of music that was played in the London underground during the late 60's. Caputo is joined by bassist Marco Piaggesi and keyboard player Gianluca Gerlini. Bassist Stefano Gabbani eventually replaced Piagesi and then guitarist Gianni Vergelli also joined in. Their style is similar to STANDARTE albeit much less heavy, and the guitars are used sparingly, leaving room for Gerlini to shine on the Hammond organ, Mellotron and Moog. Their albums feature excellent vocal harmonies that would have fit right into any BEATLES or TRAFFIC album of old. As influences go, we could cite BIGELF, PINK FLOYD, KING CRIMSON, ATOMIC ROOSTER, CARAVAN, ARGENT, and definitely THE BEATLES. Both of their albums, "London Underground" and "Through a Glass Darkly" (a spoof on an old STONES compilation LP), are a real throwback to the swinging 60's and early 70's; in fact, if it wasn't for the clean production, you'd swear these were recorded in 1970. The first album revisits the late 60's psychedelia whereas the second is fully early 70's progressive. The overall sound is very British (these Italian vocalists possess an impeccable command of the English language, b.t.w.) and both albums are expertly played and well produced. Is it prog? Well, it is definitely experimental yet accessible, delightfully retro and thoroughly enjoyable. Very cool stuff!
Excellent albums for a trip back to the hip days, with tons of Mellotron. Both are highly recommended.

Drive By Truckers - Live at Third Man(2011)

Sorry for the lack of posts...once again life has been heavy...but here are a couple of shows. I'm really diggin the CRB show...


This DBT artwork is not from the show. But DBT truckers always seem to have a really cool art so i thought I would post a sample...

Drive-By Truckers are an alternative country/Southern rock band based in Athens, Georgia, though two out of five current members (Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley) are originally from The Shoals region of Northern Alabama, and the band strongly identifies with Alabama. Their music uses three guitars as well as bass, drums, and now keyboards. Like many alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch tape). However, unlike the majority of their contemporaries, the Drive-By Truckers have consistently pushed their labels to also release the band's records in a vinyl format.
