Yo, Tony!

Podcasts seem to be the gateway to comedy albums for me.  I bought a Todd Glass album the other day because it was mentioned on the Nerdist podcast.  I can’t remember where I was recommended Hannibal Buress, but I own that one now.  Anthony Jeselnik was funny on Doug Loves Movies which led me to buy his album, Shakespeare, that I have now been listening to on repeat.  Where as a lot of comedians play the part of an self-loathing, awkward outcast, Anthony plays it super confident.  An oversimplification of his style is poking fun at very difficult topics, which can make it tough for some people to get into, but Kevin and Austin, you are probably going to love him:

Friday Fun Stuffs!?!

In a somewhat continuation of the Folk-y/Sting-y/Acoustic mood I have been in lately,  I have some more music I wanted to share.  I was pretty stoked with Old Crow Medicine Show’s Wagon Wheel, and am now equally stoked about Angel from Montgomery, which I learned was a John Prine cover from a recent tribute album.  (Rollo&Grady just put up “Lets Talk Dirty in Hawaiian” covered by Those Darlins.)  I guess recommending John Prine is like recommending Steve Goodman or Tom Waits (many people have heard of that person and probably know a song or two), but if you don’t know a lot of John Prine, a couple great jems include Dear Abby, Angel from Montgomery, and Spanish Pipedream.

While I was satisfied with this great cover of the Paul Simon song Graceland, it wasn’t till another post about the best songs of 2010 that I really investigated The Tallest Man On Earth.  Definitely check out King of Spain.

Too folky? Rollo Grady also has a link to a recent Black Keys appearance on KCRW.
