"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..."

Nick Zaino
The Boston Globe

"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."

Catatonia in Red Sox Nation

The air around Boston is indescribable today. The only time I've ever seen so many people suffering this combination of fear, exhaustion, and grim determination is in Vietnam documentaries. I'm surprised we're not calling the Yankees "Charlie."

Let me say it for the record: I officially care about baseball now. The Sox are a virus, and I'm infected. Last night, the wind blew down power lines in our neighborhood. When I found out, my first thought was not of my wife and child...it was being pissed off because I'd miss the end of the game.

Note to self: buy batteries today.

The show at the Comedy Studio has been cancelled tonight, natch. Thank Christ. I was going to make Mike Birbiglia do an hour while I watched in the bar downstairs. I had my "you're the big Comedy Central star" speech all planned. No disrespect to Mike, who's unbelievably talented, but I wasn't going to be relegated to MC *and* miss the goddamn game.

This way, everyone wins.

EXCEPT THE YANKESS!

Goddamn you, Sam Walters, for getting me hooked on this goddamned team. This is a codependent relationship, man. Between me and the Sox, not between me and Sam. That relationship is patient and kind. But the Sox...the fluctuating emotions. It's like your first high school relationship, where everything is either blissful or the end of the universe. It's not you, it's me! I need space! WIN THE MOTHERFUCKING SERIES, ALREADY, WILL YOU???
