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

Finally, after much too  much trial and error, the video of our first in a series on Firesign Theatre’s history, with Phil Proctor.

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 159 – Billy West on Jonathan Winters – Another Day, Another World

BillyWestSD

I’ve spoken to some of the great minds in comedy on this show.  And yes, I count Jeremy Guskin among them.  But when I told Jeremy that Billy West was doing the show, his reaction was the same as mine.  Billy West is a hero to both of us, and, speaking personally, easily my biggest voice over hero of all time.  Billy sat down with us kindly for over two hours and we talked Jonathan Winters, comedy, voice over, coping with anxiety, and a number of other topics that all interweave and relate in one of the most stream-of-consciousness episodes we’ve ever done.  This episode is a reason to continue to ignore the “never meet your heroes” advice.

Baby Episode #6

Coming next week – our old pal Jeremy Guskin talks about Father Guido Sarducci’s (Don Novello) album “Breakfast in Heaven.”  Very difficult to find, and out of print, this one was a big influence on Jeremy.  Since the episode isn’t up this week, I thought I’d give you a taste of this album – after my brief talky-talk, you’ll get one of the great tracks from this album.

Episode 34 – Zero Mostel Sings Songs My Mother Never Sang – With Jeremy Guskin!

If that cover doesn’t say it all, I don’t know if we’ll be able to do it justice.  This is a “bargain bin” episode, where I find a rare or odd album and just wing it with a regular or guest.  This week, the wonderful Jeremy Guskin talks with me about a mutual favorite.  Zero Mostel was a genius in a lot of ways, none of which were necessarily singing.  That said, he manages to carry this awesome novelty album by at least being able to carry a tune.  He just was not a guy you could put in front of a microphone or camera and expect normalcy.  It would make no sense.  This is one I would definitely seek out, though you can’t get it on anything but vinyl.
