"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."

Apres Moi, Le Drizzle

The rain wrecks me. Ruins me. The medical term, I believe, is Seasonal Affectation Disorder, though I seem to have a slightly different strain of the disease. In my case, it's more like Seasonal Asshole Disorder. I get gloomy, grumpy, and douchey, like clockwork. The longer it's grey, the bigger drag I become.

And since Boston is stuck under a humdinger of a low pressure system, this indicates a fairly unhappy trend for my friends and family.

Not that they're doing much better. The neverending Massachusetts rain is definitely putting the blue in "blue state." I'm trying to deal with it. I am. I'm trying to kick it Seattle Style - sort of a "when in Rome" approach. I drink black coffee and am learning to play the guitar. Kurt Cobain is making a lot more sense to me: sweaters, songs, and suicide. Blame the rain, baby. Blame the rain.

At least Noah got some razzmatazz with his rainstorm. Sturm and drang and lightning and thunder and a vengeful God. We're stuck with perpetual drizzle - a kind of low grade apocalypse. God's no longer vengeful, he's just kind of passive-aggressive. He's moping.

That's a metaphor, of course. The real culprit is climate change, the bastard child of the industrial revolution that the mad scientists on the Bush Administration's payroll say doesn't exist. Really, Dr. Quackenfuck? Because I've got a waterlogged back yard and a pissed off wife that say differently.

So I guess what I'm saying is that global warming makes me a prick.
