I will remember Memorial Day 2012 as a night of nerddom. Look at that picture. Even Jeremy is wearing thick-rimmed glasses in spirit. This week, we talk with two of my favorite character actors of all time, David Anthony Higgins and James Urbaniak. Jeremy is one of those, too, but he’s too much of a regular to really emphasize. That’s a lie – I was so busy being amazed, Jeremy does most of the talking.
This is just an amazing, insane album from the gents at Monty Python with a HIDDEN SIDE to it. It will go down in history simply for having two tracks side-by-side, so designed that the listener was likely to hear something different each time, causing innumerable aneurysms. It gives us the best version of the Cheese Shop sketch, and it also was originally packaged as the free gift with an actual matching tie and handkerchief. You don’t get albums-as-art anymore, so it’s a treasure.
