While I think about it...
Sep. 25th, 2001 01:14 amI don't think I've ever mentioned it here, but there's something important you should do...
You've **probably** heard of Henry Rollins.
If you weren't aware, he is a hardcore motherfucking rockstar kiddy... THING...
Well, apart from his work with Black Flag and the Rollins Band, which, I have to say goes from shite to pretty cool, the guy can TALK.
He does stand up comedy.
He also does spoken word.
And he is one of the cleverest, FUNNIEST (at times... not all the times, but FUCK, he's not a comedian for his dayjob, you know, but he still makes me laugh my ass off) people I've ever heard or head of.
My favourite comedians include:
Eddie Izzard (english - the single funniest man that lives)
Phil Jupitus (also english, and fucking GOOD)
Bill Hicks (proof - if it were needed - that there are MANY americans with not only a brain, but a sense of humour)
Eddie Murphy
Richard Pryor
and HENRY FUCKING ROLLINS.
So, fire up Napster (ok, probably NOT these days), or Morpheus, Audio Galaxy, Bearshare (/Gnutella/whatever) or whatever the fuck it is you use to get mp3s these days and SEARCH FOR HENRY ROLLINS COMEDY / SPOKEN WORD.
OK, so you might have to modify the search. Whatever.
If you can't find any, then seriously consider buying his shit from Amazon.
As I say, I don't think his music is perenially super-damn-shit, but his spoken word is fucking BRILLIANT.
Listen to the man.
In particular, try to find "I know you".
The man looks like a quake grunt on steroids, and talks like your cleverest, most fucked up, but down-to-earth mate.
I cannot recommend anyone more.
SERIOUSLY.
On a side note, my new track is up on mp3.com, and I've just finished another one that (having vented and duly ditched my recent music block hangups) ROCKS LIKE FUCK.
But it won't be up for a day or so.
Bite my shiny metal ass.
:)
