"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

"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."

Post Studio Blues

A hell of a night last night. A hell of an early morning today. A little drinky-drinky, some dun-dun noodles, and a truly insufferable crowd at the Studio combined to give me a throbbing head and a total lack of motivation. It's a hangover trifecta.

Place was packed, but it was packed with people there to support one of two new comics. Crowds like this are always dicey, because more often than not, they're only there out of a sense of obligation to their buddy, so they treat everyone else on the show like a wet food stamp. My post-bourbon thick-lippedness probably didn't help, but goddammit, I had some new bits that I was excited to try, and I wanted 'em to meet me halfway.

Night ended with a conversation with Rick Jenkins (shouted over the din of the Hong Kong second floor, natch) where he was either telling me that he understood my current artistic angst or that I should quit hosting Thursdays. I don't know which.

Pre-show, though, the MOST AMAZING THING EVER happened. While having the aforementioned drinky-drinks at the Cellar in Cambridge (my new favorite bar), I became actively involved in...and kept up with...a 20 minute conversation about the Red Sox. The phrase "but I hear the comissioner may approve the deal and force it to arbitration" came out of my mouth. MY mouth. There was also a guy there who may or may not have been Ralph Nader.
