Firesign Theatre

Posted by: Robert Sandberg in Humor

The Firesign Theatre company, beginning in the early 1970’s, produced radio-style dramas dedicated to farcical adventure and faux suspense. They are replete with double entendres and pun-laden dialogue. But that mere description pales in comparison to a good listen. Get a hold of one of Firesign Theatre’s “radio” dramas featuring Nick Danger, Third Eye; or the adventures of Porgy, Mudhead, and Bottles at More Science High School; or the inspiring “Dinner at Eight, So Let’s Eat” sermon of Pastor Rod Flash, who has “been up now” for much longer than a week, and is still “coming down.” Seriously, ASAP, get thee to a punnery and buy one of FST’s albums. Enjoy for the first time, or, like me, wax nostalgic as the laugh-induced tears run down your face. Don’t thank me. I’ll thank you. “Ground Beef Control, over.”

- The Enchantment Emporium by Tanya Huff July 1, 2009
  Readers who know Tanya Huff from her Blood, Smoke, and The Keeper’s Chronicles books (or even the Blood Ties show on Lifetime) will find this stand-alone modern urban fantasy right in line with what they’ve come to expect from her. For those of us not so familiar with Huff’s work, a warning: This is not your usual fantasy fare. Not in the least.

- Whatever — Whatever? June 30, 2009
  One wades through an awful lot of pretentious chatter published when a new production of a work like “Waiting for Godot” is mounted. But what work is ever like Samuel Beckett’s excruciating 2-Act masterpiece? An English friend of mine, a literary scholar and sharp theater critic who has passed most of his life in Cambridge, detests that writer’s work […]

- Vanished Smile: The Mysterious Theft of Mona Lisa by R.A. Scotti June 29, 2009
  Not quite a century ago, on August 29, 1911, thousands of people began flocking to the Louvre (among them, Franz Kafka and his friend Max Brod) to gaze at a blank space on a wall. The 49-acre Louvre – still the largest museum in the world today – had been closed for most of the preceding week for the investigation of a singular occurrence: the most famou […]

  I didn't want to be that guy who made a playlist full of songs no one has ever heard, but maybe I did. I don't know what people listen to. In any case, these are what I've been listening to recently, and I think you should too.

Quotable

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever;
Its loveliness increases;
   it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still
    will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health,
    and quiet breathing. — John Keats, Endymion: I.i.1-5
