Music to Concentrate by… | February 26, 2013

Excited to see this mention of Will Henshall’s (London Beat fame) new digital music service Focus@Will in today’s Digital Music News.  The only thing missing from that article is the mention that Naxos is the exclusive provider of the carefully selected Classical Music utilized to help people concentrate using his service.  This was one of those really fun out-of-the-box deals to do.  I am so pleased to see it coming to fruition now!

Hot and Fluffy (Levity, 2007) by Gabriel Iglesias | February 25, 2013

Iglesias is a very funny comic.  His voices are hysterical and he is a fairly clean performer.  The passion for humor and appreciation he has for his fans is very admirable.  The only thing with this album, as with many stand-up comedy albums, is that some of the jokes are sight gags and obviously that’s missed with just the audio recording. 


The Carnegie Hall Performance (Comedy Central, 2006) by Lewis Black | February 24, 2013

This is not only my favorite Lewis Black album, but one of the few double disc albums that I can play from beginning to end.  A lot of the material ended up in his book Nothing’s Sacred (which is a great read), but obviously it is interpreted differently when the material is actually heard by its creator.  In my opinion, this album is one of the funniest LPs from the 00s.  It’s a smart and well-sequenced piece of commentary on the times.


Take a Joke America (Warner Bros., 2000) by Carlos Mencia | February 23, 2013

The thing I like about Mencia’s comedy is that he is an equal-opportunity offender.  He jokes about everything and that is very refreshing in the politically-correct climate that we so often find ourselves in today.  Although this album is not as strong as New Territory, it is a very solid collection of material that would ultimately resemble the type of content that Mencia would put on his Comedy Central show a few years later.
