"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."

Sweet Merciful Fuck

Let me say this one time, out loud, for everyone to hear. I want this read into the record, signed, sealed, and notarized: fuck Plum Island, and fuck people from Plum Island.

Last night's show at the Wine Cellar was full-on combat comedy at its most tiresome. Our hecker-cum-comedienne was there, and she brought all her friends, who, as it turns out, were exactly the same people from Plum Island who made my life so miserable last time I saw them. They were annhiliated on cheap booze before the show even started, and by the time I got up, their heckling had been reduced to mooing like cows, raspberries, and drunken outbursts like, "You know why I had to do the thing I say FIVE!" To top it off, they took up the entire center of the room like a black hole of alcoholic heinousness. Dealing with them wasn't so much comedy as it was riot control...I was the verbal equivalent of a character in a James Ellroy book, breaking in teeth and smashing kneecaps. And all I wanted to do was do a regular comedy show!

To top it off, the owner paid me IN CASH ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE BAR! Great...now I can suffer through a miserable comedy show AND get jack rolled.

TIP FOR NEW COMICS: Do not, under any circumstances, confuse doing your dumbass jokes to your dumbass friends for actually being a comedian.

Fucking Plum Island, man.
