Episode 121 – Thanksgiving Crossover Special
This week, the Comedy on Vinyl podcast and the Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour podcast cross paths. Right in the middle of wrapping up their latest sketch comedy album Ho, Christmas Tree!, an increasingly drunk Jay (Jason to you vinyl folks) and Dan discuss the creation of this, the SMALLEST COMEDY ALBUM IN HISTORY. At 1.7cm square, the album comes packaged on a MicroSD card packed with the album and audio and video extras.
It’s also a FREE download, available at ho.stolendress.com, with CDs available shortly thereafter. It’s a sketch album, naturally, featuring the talents of James Urbaniak, Philip Proctor of The Firesign Theatre, Jeremy Guskin, Allen Rueckert and a number of other wonderful talents.

Episode 23 – Weird Al – Even Worse – With Rachel Bloom
Yes, he’s a God. He’s the nicest man on the planet, and I’ve shaken his hand. Yes, you needed to know that. This is one of his tightest albums, containing some of his best originals.
She makes funny songs like “Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury” and “I Steal Pets,” and is about to write for a sketch show on Cartoon Network. She’s Rachel Bloom and she was kind enough to sit down and talk with us about the man, the myth, the (formerly) mustachioed, Weird Al. Also, dreams and dicks.

Episode 18 – Tom Lehrer – That Was The Year That Was
Happy New Year and happy satire. Sure, that’s an expression. One of the great, energetic musical comedians, Tom Lehrer is a must-listen (again, another real expression) for those bent on listening to comedy made by intelligent people.
Until recently, Lehrer was a university professor who got out of the satire business for a number of reasons. He has been quoted as saying “Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Prize.” That about sums it up. Give it a listen.
Also, given Tumblr’s inherent limits (if we post more than 20… anythings, it starts pushing old episodes off of iTunes), we’re moving feed hosts, so there MAY be some iTunes issues in the coming days. Please let us know if you notice an issue before we do: jason@comedyonvinyl.com

Episode 17 – Zero Mostel – How the Grinch Stole Christmas
…I have no words. Except Merry Christmas. This special episode features the one and only Zero Mostel at possibly his most insane, reading Dr. Seuss’s timeless “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” There are SO many things going on here, I can’t begin to describe it.
Just know that despite the fact that we didn’t talk much about Zero (his comedy was on the stage and screen), he was a great actor, and Mel Brooks’ “The Producers” wouldn’t have been the same without him intimidating the hell out of Gene Wilder. In many ways, we wouldn’t have the same Gene Wilder. Take a listen and, as always, have a Merry Thing.

Episode 16 – George Carlin – Class Clown
We waited too long to get to this album, since its among the first albums I ever listened to, and it simply blew my mind. What’s disappointing is its the first one I simply have not been able to find locally on vinyl – despite having it in the secret Comedy on Vinyl Vaults somewhere deep in the woods of Upstate New York at my mom’s house (it also explains why we’re pointing to an image of the album cover on my phone). THAT said, this is going to be one of those albums I absolutely DEMAND you purchase immediately. I choose to sample these tracks without killing the value of purchasing the album, but believe me, it was very tempting to give you “Seven Words” in its entirety, as this is the greatest version there is. That said, I didn’t – so go buy it.
Though people have treated George Carlin as though he was following the work of Lenny Bruce, Carlin was never an activist, and no matter what you thought of his changing onstage persona, he remained a comedian, unlike Lenny Bruce. “Stand-up philosopher” is a phrase bandied about in this podcast, and I’ve always felt it fit George Carlin to a T. Comedians are, by trade, thinkers before speakers. Usually the speaking takes the form of a joke – Carlin weaves the traditional joke in with pure “one-on-one” conversation, letting you discover his thought process as he helps you understand your own. All this, on top of being a bad-ass who did, indeed, challenge the FCC and, whether he tried to or not, changed the way the US and its government looks at “profanity,” makes George Carlin a legend. Do yourself a favor and discover this album, if you haven’t already.

Episode 15 – Eric Idle and Neil Innes – The Rutles
After Monty Python, Eric Idle continued the sketch comedy television with Rutland Weekend Television, which featured “The Seventh Python,” Neil Innes. Best known beyond The Rutles as an amazing absurd satirist, Innes brought a musical legitimacy that Idle, with impressive musical credentials of his own, likely couldn’t match. Also, Innes did a dead-on John Lennon.
Hardly the first mock-documentary, this is one of the first – if not THE first musical-themed film in the genre. A pretty literal parallel of the actual history of The Beatles, The Rutles is impressive, if only for its attention to detail. The songs are, in many cases, dead-ringers for actual Beatles songs (which apparently caused a legal problem or two), and the story an absurd twist and comment on Beatlemania – an obsession that, no matter how you feel about The Beatles, is easily seen as one of the strangest phenomena to ever ripple through pop culture.

Episode 14 – Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder – Young Frankenstein
Mel Brooks may have made the name he has today with a unique brand of parody, but Young Frankenstein is arguably his masterpiece, and is no doubt the beginning of a brand of pastiche that has informed the work of every great filmmaker of the last four decades. Self-awareness without having to mug, genuine drama without a sly wink, and real, stone-faced, honest acting make this more than just what Mel Brooks calls a “spoof.”
As Dan points out in this episode, “Young Frankenstein” is a spiritual sequel to its namesake, and even cursory knowledge of the original “Frankenstein” is enough to get the basics. That said, it’s still a good, human story, given to us through some of the best slapstick ever put on film.

To everyone who is awesome: thank you for continuing to listen. Thanks for putting up with this pseudo-sode, as I’m calling it, in the hopes it won’t catch on. There are a number of albums coming up, and we’re in the planning stages for the second live Comedy on Vinyl show.
Stay tuned for more. And have a good thing.
