Episode 160 – Josh Mills on Edie Adams – Music to Listen to Records By

Episode160_SD

The full, actual title of this gem is “Music to Listen to Records By – Edie Adams Sings?”  A woman after my own heart, with one of the great, absurd record titles of all time, and using punctuation in the title (my first sketch comedy group, which still exists, was originally called “Dan and Jay’s Komedy? Hour”) Edie uses her considerable musical talents to sound like an amateur in more than a few of these songs.  Her son, Josh Mills, returned to talk about this rarity, in which Edie does a ton of timely impressions for 1959, the most recognizable of which might now be Marilyn Monroe.  If you put this album on in the background, it might take you a full listen before you realized what you had.  Sure, it looks silly, but it doesn’t scream “comedy,” and it’s that subtlety that makes it so great.

MillsNothing like Christmas in January.  And nothing like a fellow vinyl comedy nerd like the incomparable Josh Mills to talk about Ernie Kovacs again!  Black Friday Record Store day 2013 gave us this little snapshot of more Percy Dovetonsils goodness, and it’s delightfully Christmasy, to boot.  Listen to us talk Ernie, Edie and what might be in our buddy Adam Storm’s attic.

Episode 38 – Adam X. Storm and Josh Mills on Ernie Kovacs – Percy Dovetonsils Thpeaks

This week, we talk with Adam X. Storm and Josh Mills about the NEW Ernie Kovacs record!  Yes, you read that right – new.  “Percy Dovetonsils… Thpeaks” was compiled from a recording that was thought to be lost.  When it was discovered, Josh Mills (son of Edie Adams, Ernie’s wife) managed to put together a great compilation from Ernie’s most well-known character.  This episode, we talk at length again about Adam’s personal history with and love for Ernie Kovacs, as well as Josh’s history with Ernie and his life as a young kid in Hollywood.
