"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."

Vanity Post - The Comedians.org Interview

Okay, if I was a good person, I would have linked to Ken Carlson's new standup comedy magazine The Comedians before he interviewed me for it. However, I'm not a good person. The interview, I must say, came out pretty good, though. Where else are you going to get nuggets like this?

I also went to the University of Colorado for a year. What a nightmare. I was in some weird black box play. There was this Iraqi director there. He'd written some play called, The Rape. I went out for it because it wasn't a comedy. I wanted to be a serious actor. I had the audition and he said, 'You are fantastic! I love you.' I said, 'Great.' He said, 'You are very funny. I am putting some comedy in this play for you.' So, I was the comic relief in a play called, The Rape. It was an incredibly depressing play about this woman who gets raped. He just tacked on my wacky character, who'd kind of wander across stage between the wailing and revenge to do something nutty with a couple of melons and a pig .
That's right. Drink martinis throughout the course of a 3-hour phone interview, and that's what you get. I also shoot myself in the foot professionally about six times. Whatever. Ken's awesome, and his magazine's awesome.

You should go check it out, and not just for my drunken, pretentious comedy ramblings. The Comedians a slick piece of work. It's simple, gorgeous, and well-written. And if you check out all the interviews, you will learn this important truth: every comic on the planet has been to Aspen except me.
