I'm eagerly awaiting the new Mitch Hedberg album 'Do You Believe in Gosh?' that's being released tomorrow.  It's a taping from a show only a couple of months before his death and is supposed to have a lot of material that he was going to use for a new album.

I've tried listening to Lenny Bruce and reading that book and, I dunno, I'm a pretty smart guy overall, but I felt like I was listening to/reading something in another language. I was picking up sounds I recognized but I really had no idea what the hell was going on. So, no, not funny.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Yeah, it's called Yiddish.

Fuck yeah. I just wish his album would have been called Death Magnetic and Metallica's would have been called Do You Believe in Gosh?. I think both parties would have come out of that deal on top.

I got my Andy Daly CD in the mail today, and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for great new comedy. "Ben Alterman's Lifelong Dream" is as insane and subversive as anything I've heard in a long time.

Listening to this made me realize how similar the humor on this CD is to the S&W bits. Best Show fans should love it.

Did you like it? I didn't laugh much.

I wasn't that crazy about it the first time I played it, but it's gotten funnier with each subsequent listen.

I agree with loads of things that have been said.

Oh, I really like Eddie Murphy's Raw, after he'd polished at least some of the 'fags'/'AIDS' stuff out of it.

I like Hedberg's mastery of the Paraprosdokian.
