John Roy on Conan

Local favorite John Roy was hilarious on the Conan O’Brien television program last night.

And making his record-setting seventh appearance at the Comedy Attic in a couple weeks, headlining Feb. 23-25.

The Supersuckers, “Born With A Tail”

Song of the day.

It’s time to fly the finger
Yeah, that middle digit brings your point
And it drives it home
On my head there’s no crown of thorns
This evil scalp has earned its horns
I’m on a high flying time with your mom before I go

Well, hell.

Veal Chop!: My ten favorite soul albums

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:35:33 -0500

Veal Chop!: My ten favorite soul albums:

jessethorn:

Soul’s not really an LP genre (James Brown particularly was a singles artist - perhaps the most brilliant of all but just not an album guy, and the 60s in general were a great time for soul but not for albums), but by request, my ten favorite soul albums, off the top of my head…

Music is funny. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Jesse’s choices, but I’m pretty sure only one of his 10 would make my list (JB at the Apollo III, for those keeping score). I’d have to include Joe Tex and Little Willie John, for instance, but the singles/albums argument makes it difficult.

Huh.

““And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before, but since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely.””

Jimmy Pardo, Matt Belknap and Pat Francis doing Never Not Funny live at the Comedy Attic. I can barely contain myself. So. Many. Favorite. Things. In. One. Place.

Such a great five days. My people. My place. Sharing things new and old with the people I care about most makes the 500+ miles I drove to do it all seem like nothing.

That Thing where you bring together people of three different tribes and everything goes better than you could have possibly imagined.

Let me say this: if I have one skill, it is surrounding myself with the most amazing people. I pick the Good Ones.

Just saw two sets by Jimmy Pardo, my favorite comedian, at The Comedy Attic, my favorite club. Tomorrow, I get to repeat it with three of my favorite people.

Pretty good weekend by any measure.

Last night: the Roast of Brad Wilhelm, a man I’ve known in some capacity for almost 20 years and someone I’m proud to call my friend. (We drove to Chicago together in July to see Jimmy Pardo. A joy!)

Tonight: Jimmy Pardo with (I’m assuming) my pals the Frys.

Tomorrow night: Jimmy Pardo with Lane, Jessica and Lacey.

Sunday night: Never Not Funny Live at The Comedy Attic.

It’s a Jimmy Pardo weekend.

“If I have an idea, I try really hard to follow through on it—not because I’ll know where it’ll go, but you can talk yourself out of anything. You can convince yourself that it’s not worth trying, because it seems unattainable at some level. But I’ve had enough great fortune with people being responsive to me, historically, that if I have an idea, I marry it to an action.”

Remember when you watch Indiana governor Mitch Daniels give the Republican response to the State Of The Union tonight, that’s the motherfucker who literally and intentionally threw dirt on me on September 20, 2005.

Lyle Lovett’s “Who Loves You Better” from The Road To Ensenada.

This song never fails to destroy me.

Late nights in musty motel rooms
Stale lives left by someone else
White lies I wish I could tell you
And questions I ask of myself

Why do I do the things that make me sorry
Why do I do the things that make you cry
Will I lose your love to another
Who loves you better than I

The angels smile when you’re praying
But the devil laughs when you lie
And some things they go without saying
When tears fill up your eyes

Why do I do the things that make me sorry
Why do I do the things that make you cry
Will I lose your love to another
Who loves you better than I

Some questions beg for an answer
Like a poet begs for a rhyme
Somehow all I can remember
Is holding your hand in mine

Late nights in musty motel rooms
Stale lives left all alone
He’s telling you how he wants you
And I’m praying he doesn’t know

Why I do the things that make me sorry
Why I do the things that make you cry
If I could lose your love to another
Who loves you better than I

Who loves you better than I
