Episode 122 – Cole Stratton on Albert Brooks – Comedy Minus One

FB_ColeStratton_02Cole Stratton weirds it up this week with one of my new favorite comedy albums.  Albert Brooks again bends the concept of the comedy record back when it was a medium you could still do that with and confuse people to their delight.  It ends with a track where you get to perform a scripted sketch with Albert “on stage.”  Thanks again to Cole for introducing us to this.

Episode 30 – Cole Stratton on Albert Brooks – A Star is Bought

This week we talk about a new favorite – Albert Brooks’ “A Star is Bought.”  Meta before people were using that term to describe the brilliantly, intentionally redundant and self-referential kind of work you find on this album.  We had difficulty finding stand-alone clips, because this is such an album experience, but its more than worth it.

It comes to us courtesy of vinyl comedy connoisseur Mr. Cole Stratton.  Co-host of the Pop My Culture Podcast and co-creator of SF Sketch Fest, he’s a man of pure comedy tastes.  Listen to him… taste comedy?  No.  But he’s got some great things to say.
