22. The Bones In Your Head

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Floating on an airy aerie. Michael Giacchino and the music from “Up” and “Lost”. And a discussion of the movie itself. Some plot spoilers in the discussion. Skip from 8:00 to 11:17 to avoid that part. I am Russell, to a point. Old souls. Michael Jackson as a Lars Von Trier character. My stand-up set at Stand Up New York. Getting comfortable with yourself, aligning your inner and outer perceptions. James Earl Jones is the only one that will ever hear how amazing his voice really is.

I Like Comedy, I Like Carrot Top

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Auto-tune the theme! A review of “The Hangover”. My highest recommendation to “Comedy and Everything Else”. Palin, Letterman, and Conan. The meaning of TMZ. Perez Hilton and will.i.am. Getting punched. “The Simpsons” created everything that is horrible about Fox News. A little dry mouth. I meant “finale”, not “premiere”.  A plug for improvisednewyork.podbean.com. Taste and XTC’s “Skylarking”. Don’t people discover the Beatles on their own? A counterargument against myself.

What Makes Dudes Get Motorcycles

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Drinking Korbel Brut. Getting cut from a Microsoft Bing ad. Platoonium. Two other spots. One as a monk, one as a matador. Various evidences of a mid-life crisis. A tattoo. A scooter. Potsmoking. Champagne-drinking. Shaving your head. Funny shoes. It doesn’t matter. Why am I having a good year? Luck? Relaxation? A form of naturalism.

A Day in Seattle

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Seattle, Washington. Using forms. “Puppet Show” at Frye Art. Mr Show. “What Will Come” by William Kentridge. Underground tour. Friendly cabbie. A special visit to see an icon. Sleepless in Frasier.
