Episode 143 – Eban Schletter on Spike Jones – Thank You Music Lovers

Schletter_600

Podcast listeners will know the sounds of his nimble fingers from the background of many a Paul F. Tompkins podcast, and sketch comedy fans will know his music from Mr. Show.  Eban Schletter is not only a great musical improviser, but a guy who maybe, sort of, fell into comedy as a genre.  Although, on reflection, it kind of seems inevitable.  In this episode, we talk about how Eban’s dad introduced him to Spike Jones at the age of 21, and how that may or may not have changed his career trajectory.

Episode 142 – Janet Varney on Albert Brooks – Comedy Minus One

Janet Varney stops by her own home to delve into Albert Brooks’ classic “Comedy Minus One” for our second go-round with this album.  This time, we get a picture of an entirely new experience – namely, someone who grew up without the script to the act-along segment!  This made for an excessively surreal experience with this already experimental album.

Episode 122 – Cole Stratton on Albert Brooks – Comedy Minus One

FB_ColeStratton_02Cole Stratton weirds it up this week with one of my new favorite comedy albums.  Albert Brooks again bends the concept of the comedy record back when it was a medium you could still do that with and confuse people to their delight.  It ends with a track where you get to perform a scripted sketch with Albert “on stage.”  Thanks again to Cole for introducing us to this.
