Monday, December 6th, 2010

According to Punchline Magazine, my latest CD, Face Full of Flour is #7 of 2010’s 10 Best Comedy Albums!!!!

Woooohoooooooooo!

Which begs the question… WHY DON’T YOU HAVE IT YET???

You can get it if you click right next to this blog. Look to the right of where you’re reading now.

Don’t believe I’m #7? See below OR click here to read the entire list. Many of my friends are on it, like Glenn Wool & Hannibal Buress, and Kyle Kinane.

Enjoy…

#7 – W. KAMAU BELL – FACE FULL OF FLOUR
W. Kamau BellThough not everyone knows it quite yet, San Francisco-based W. Kamau Bell is one of our country’s most adept racial and political commentators; he’s got a blistering wit and a willingness to say what you quickly realize you’ve always thought. He’s relentlessly intelligent, fusing references to create a rich expression of incredulity in a post-Obama world. Note to working comedians: despite what’s been said time and again, it’s possible make fun of our current president and mean it. Kamau is an Obama supporter but deftly takes the piss out of him when necessary. And all of that is there for us to play – and re-play – on Face Full of Flour, a masterful, thinking man’s album.

Some new stand-up!

Enjoy! & Let me know what you think…

And if you like it then pick up a copy of my CD Face Full of Flour for the holidays. They make great Secret Santa presents for that racist at work! Or a great present from Hanukkah Harry. Or for Kujichagulia (That’s Kwanzaa!) Or for (next) Ramadan! It’s also a prefect to wrap up you early Lohri (Hindu) shopping because it’s BLAZING HOT! We got my album in digital OR real-ical.

Field Negro Guide Episode 6 – FISHBONE!!!

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

This episode is a SUPA-SIZED episode all about FIIIIIIISHBONE!!! (That’s how you have to say it. You’ll hear me demonstrate it several times over the course of this podcast.)

This is an EPIC episode for FNGTAC. I don’t know when we’ll do another one like this. It took weeeeeeeeeeeeeks and without our new producer Alex Thornton, it wouldn’t have happened at ALLLLLLLLLLL.

We probably put too much in here, but I had no idea when – if ever – I would get a chance to be a part of something like this again. So if it overwhelms you, listen to it in parts. It’s overstuffed, eager, at times repetitive, but I believe it’s worth it. It was definitely made with love.

It features some thoughts on the band from us, from their fans, from Chris Metzler – co-director of the new documentary on the band called Everyday Sunshine, excerpts of the film itself, and finally you’ll hear the band themsleves, founding members, Norwood Fisher and Angelo Moore.

If you are a fan of Fishbone, I know you’ll dig this episode. If you do know them, but aren’t a fan, I have a feeling you may change your mind. And finally if you aren’t familiar with them, sit down, press play, and enjoy.

Also check out Fishbone’s website and the website for Everyday Sunshine. They both may be coming to your town soon, and the film is definitely coming to your DVD player.

In conclusion, FIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHBONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I love you, Fishbone.
