"On Scatterbrain, McIntire addresses the ups and downs of a working comic's life. The bulk of the album is all laughs -- solid material on everything from having kids to the war on terror, killer stuff from one of Boston's most reliable comedy veterans -- but it's the bonus track, the one labeled "Nagasaki," that's getting the most attention. The nearly half-hour track is nothing short of a complete hell gig..."

"If Tim set out to reveal more about himself and be vulnerable on his new CD, Scatterbrain, he succeeded. He pulls off the delicate trick of turning inward without losing his persona. He is still The Reverend. Now, rather than pointing the finger at others, he's pointing it at himself. Instead of looking at obscure news stories and making them universal, he takes something universal, the birth of a child, and makes it his...It's smart and fearless. Mr. Hicks, this is Mr. Cosby."

Just a few odds and ends right now. I can't believe I decided to do a Fight tonight; in addition to discovering in the middle of a moment of silence at 8:45 that Maybe I'm Not Over September 11 As Much As I Thought I Was, I still have to write the whole fucking show. Not one joke done yet. So any and all creativity my rapidly addling brain might have left in it will have to towards making the show so good that I don't feel like an evil cocksucker for having decided to do it.

In lieu of my own interesting stuff, a couple of pointers. First Tycho over at Penny Arcade has a great post today, and even though I fell in love with that site for the hysterically funny cartoons, I am constantly amazed at how good the writing is. To wit:

This is history, and listen up, because it's Goddamn important. If people can recollect and deify people for wearing jerseys and hitting balls, or jumping very high let's say, then you and I can catalogue the moments particular to our own fascination and invest them with gravity and power.
Also, a real shit-storm brewing over on the Kvetch Board about whether acting is harder/more artistic than standup. My own view (and I have a BFA in theatre -- the most useless degree in the universe - the entire universe; there are people on other planets and other dimensions more employable than me) is that if acting is artistic coffee, then standup is artistic crack. It's more intense, more difficult, and more rewarding on every level.
