Video Episode – 166 with Phil Proctor on the History of Firesign, Part 1

Episode 166 – Phil Proctor on the History of Firesign, Part 1

COV_166_SD

This week, we begin retracing the history of Firesign with Phil Proctor, in part one of a mini-series covering every album from the Columbia years, and perhaps moving on to more.  Phil is currently working on an autobiography, so he’s in the storytelling mood, so while we planned to cover the first three albums on this episode, at the end of the show we’re JUST up to the group solidifying.  We’re joined by Firesign super fans Jeremy Guskin and Greg Benson.  Also, there’s video of the episode as well, which you’ll be able to watch shortly at youtube.com/comedyonvinyl.

Episode 140 – Greg Benson on The Credibility Gap – A Great Gift Idea

Benson_SD

The awesome Greg Benson breaks down the first Credibility Gap album we’ve covered, track-by-track.  It’s his favorite, and it’s not hard to see why.  Irreverent, razor-sharp satire with the kind of production values anyone would be jealous of.  It’s a shame they made so few records together, but this one is of great value, loaded with pop culture satire without leaning on any kind of gimmick to make it accessible – it just is.
