This is Awkward

You know that I never tire of writing about the subject of love.  Foz the Hook has a bunch of love songs, including My Kind of Mess, and the Ballad of Casino Kit.  Someday soon we will put songs like Between a Bed and a Chair and Her Head on a Pillow back in the set, which will shock and confuse you with their not-funniness.  In those cases we have substituted good for funny with the help of a dead gay playwright from St. Louis (Note:  As far as I know Tennessee Williams died of old age – we had nothing to do with it). 

Love.  This brings me to the subject if our recent appearance on the live podcast performance of Awkward Moments by Collin A. Bullock.  It was a pretty great show, and we recorded it with Collin and Mike Lebovitz, Chris Condren, Jacob Williams, and Byron.  Collin has completed the post-production stuff and the recording is now available for your listening pleasure.

We played a little at the beginning and the end.  But, in the middle Collin embarked on a mission of trying destroy as many romantic relationships as possible, and the comics who stood the lose the most played right along.  There are some pretty wild moments in there, and Mike Lebovitz provides some particularly hilarious and soul-searching insights.  It’s like he also understands that in comedy it is often useful to substitute good for funny.

Anyway, the show definitely lives up to its title this time – awkward and funny.  It is well worth your time listening to it, and not just because we play at the end.

Also, speaking of good and funny:  will you be at Cole’s tonight at 9:00?  FtH will be opening the comedy show like we always do.  We never play the same set the same way twice.  In fact, every single song we have ever played over the course of two years has been different than every other performance. 

That’s what I call love.
