"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."

Wakey Wakey

If Josh Bard's not a full-blown alcoholic by the end of this season, I will be flabbergasted. By the All-Star Break, I imagine he'll have manifested a righteous thousand-yard stare, and by the playoffs, we'll be calling him The Deerhunter.

Imagine what it must be like to know that you're going to have to go through that every five days. Brother man's going to have a flask sewn into his chest protector. Or put scorpions in Wake's locker. Either way.

Last night was a bad night for the Sox, but tonight promises to be a good night for yours truly. Sure, it's snowing on April Goddamn Fifth outside, but that shall not deter me from my appointed rounds at what should be a humgoddamndinger of a rock show: Scott Biram, Reverend Glasseye, and Th' Legendary Shack Shakers at TT's. I was initially only going to go for Biram, for whom I've been absolutely bananas since catching him on a Bloodshot compilation. But I've been informed by those who know that that's a stupid thing to do.

I mean, I actually shared the bill with Reverend Glasseye once. I came home completely pickled and readdicted to cigarettes. I was going to miss their set out of self-preservation, really. Fool me once and all that.

And the Shack Shakers go on at 11:30, which is a crazy number for an old man like me. I have pilates EARLY in the morning, okay?

But then my man Nicky Z and my friend Lady B, indepedent of each other, both informed me that if I missed the Shack Shakers, I would easily become the Stupidest Asshole on the Planet, an honor I've been up for many times in the past. I don't feel like winning yet, so screw it. Rock on a school night it is, then. Meeting D-Pat at Bukowski's for Lone Stars to set the tone of the evening at 8:00, and then it's balls to the wall until THE T STOPS RUNNING!!!

Someone tape Lost for me, okay?
