Episode 106 – Mark McConville on This Is Spinal Tap – The Soundtrack

Posted on by

McConvilleMark McConville is now the second member of the Superego team to drop by Fort Awesome Studios, and we cover a mutual favorite album – the soundtrack to This Is Spinal Tap.  It’s always a special pleasure to not only cut in music clips, but to speak to the musically educated and skilled about mixing music and comedy.   Mark was awesome, and so is special guest Eilon Paz, author of the book “Dust & Grooves,” which chronicles his interviews with fascinating vinyl collectors – his interview is after the closing the theme as a bonus.

Episode 103 – Matt Gourley on Monty Python – The Final Rip Off

Posted on by

GourleyOne-quarter sketch group, one-quarter country band, 2 quarters comedy enthusiast, Matt Gourley joins us this week to talk about Monty Python’s The Final Rip Off, an important album for both of us.  We talk improv, sketch, and specifically Monty Python’s influence on his work with the amazing podcast/improv-sketch group Superego, which you probably already know comes back September 1st with new episodes and with additional Paul F. Tompkins’s.  I had a blast talking about this great double-album, which, while yet another compilation, might be the ultimate packing-in of the best of Monty Python, in terms of what works as audio-only sketch comedy.
