Phil Proctor is back, with the history of the Firesign Theatre!  This time, we’re joined by Firesign archivist Taylor Jessen and Jeremy Guskin to talk about Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him.  It was a good, long conversation, so I cut it into two parts.  There’s also video of the whole conversation, which you can watch below, and find at youtube.com/comedyonvinyl.

Episode 139 – Phil Hendrie on Firesign – How Can You Be in Two Places at Once…

Hendrie_SDOf course, the full title is “How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You’re Not Anywhere at All,” and it’s one of the great Firesign albums.  One half Firesign fever dream, and the other half a long-form Nick Danger adventure, this is the first album that ever exposed Firesign to me as a kid who totally didn’t get it.  It would be awhile before I delved back into Firesign, and it took the good Mr. Phil Hendrie to come back to this album in particular.  We talk Firesign, his other influences, the evolution of radio, and we deconstruct some comedy, for lack of a better word.
