Phil Proctor is back, with the history of the Firesign Theatre!  This time, we’re joined by Firesign archivist Taylor Jessen and Jeremy Guskin to talk about Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him.  It was a good, long conversation, so I cut it into two parts.  There’s also video of the whole conversation, which you can watch below, and find at youtube.com/comedyonvinyl.

Episode 177 – Tommy Edison on Firesign Theatre – Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers

COV_177_SD

We’re covering Don’t Crush That Dwarf… for the second time in the show’s history, and this time we’re speaking with Tommy Edison, also known as the Blind Film Critic.  Tommy has an infectious sense of humor, so he was a blast to have on the show.  Blind since birth, Tommy’s experience with comedy albums is something we’ve never been able to explore on the show before.  We discuss sound design and voice work in a very pure way, but we also discuss the feel and smell of a record, for the first time on the show.

Episode 139 – Phil Hendrie on Firesign – How Can You Be in Two Places at Once…

Hendrie_SDOf course, the full title is “How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You’re Not Anywhere at All,” and it’s one of the great Firesign albums.  One half Firesign fever dream, and the other half a long-form Nick Danger adventure, this is the first album that ever exposed Firesign to me as a kid who totally didn’t get it.  It would be awhile before I delved back into Firesign, and it took the good Mr. Phil Hendrie to come back to this album in particular.  We talk Firesign, his other influences, the evolution of radio, and we deconstruct some comedy, for lack of a better word.
