"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."

Tech Envy

My wife is out spending Saturday morning like she spends most Saturdays: yard saling. I don't know when it became a hobby, and I really don't know when it became a verb, but she's out bargain shopping and has promised to find me a weight bench and a coffee percolator. That's probably an oblique metaphor for my life these days.

I'm doing some bargain shopping of my own, as I'm in dire straits, technology-wise. My cell phone is a complete hunk of digital shit that reboots itself occasionally and whose display is upside down and backwards most of the time. My PDA has developed a condition where it eats a pair of batteries every eight hours. My desktop machine, which was built for $25 out of scrounged parts, is just about to outgrow its tiny 6GB hard drive. And my "laptop" is so old and heavy that time slows down if you get within 5 feet of it. I'm neck deep in tech culture overdrive...I want to hack the planet...and I don't have and can't afford the hardware to do it. Meanwhile, every dipshit yuppie that needs the manual to run Excel is cruising along with tiny little laptops and sweet flip phones. Thus is the irony of my life.

Wish List:

Alienware Area-51 Extreme
T-Mobile Hiptop Sidekick with digital camera.
Hoojum Cubit p4 running BeOS 5, Mandrake, and Win98 for games.
