REVIEW: Adam Carolla @ Newmark Theatre (Portland, OR – 3/11/12)
Adam Carolla had a busy weekend. The most recently fired celebrity on Donald Trump’s NBC Celebrity Apprentice, the former co-host of Loveline with Dr. Drew, the former co-host of The Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel, and the #1 podcaster in the world (with the Guinness World Record to show for it) played Seattle on Friday night, Spokane on Saturday night, and Portland’s Newmark Theatre last night.
I don’t always agree with what he says. He’s middle-of-the-road politically – not claiming alignment with any party. He’s quite in favor of many good social issues (gay rights, sex education, women’s reproductive issues, etc), but he’s staunchly conservative on fiscal and immigration concerns. But in all honesty, how many times do you agree with everything even your loved ones say? While some people may have “something for everyone to like,” Adam may very well fit into having “something for everyone to hate” or at least “have issue with.” Eh, I still fall into the “love camp”…
His sharp wit, funny stories and quirky-yet-still-grounded sense of humor make coming back to listen daily a treat. His Monday to Friday daily podcast is one of my favorites and it quickly goes to the top of my queue (subscribe iTunes). His ACE podcasting network is also growing and excellent things abound: Penn Jillette’s PennSundaySchool, Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend (the funny & charming news gal), Ace on the House (home improvement), CarCast (I’m not even a gear junkie, but this is a fascinating show), et cetera… all great!
I thought comedian/songwriter Josh Gardner was to open the show. However, they played the title track to Mr. Stinkfinger via laptop and then Adam came out. Josh’s comedy albums are available now… Mr Stinkfinger EP and Winter Bush:
Adam’s stand-up shows are basically 90-minutes. They are sometimes free form, but this one seemed a little more planned, with a little thrown in as far as what happened to him this past weekend.
He walked out with an oatmeal cookie… with dried cranberries in it. This opened up into a rant about the adding shit to shit and why we keep fucking good things up. Next on his complain list was “Spring Forward,” and he went through a funny USA Today bit about what people would do with their extra hour (back in the fall).
He got off complaining for a bit to talk about a Leno show appearance with Queen Latifah. She had been going on about “limin’,” which apparently is what they call “chillin'” in the Caribbean. Adam’s bit after her was about children’s toys at Christmas, and how you need lineman dykes to cut the toys out of their boxes. Apparently people got in a huff because they thought he was calling “Queen” a “limin’ dyke.” Ah, good times.
Up next, a little bit about his NBC Celebrity Apprentice experience with a few clips from last night’s show (where he got fired). Apparently Buick didn’t like his jokes. Oh well… now once Penn Jillette gets fired, I can quit watching that rubbish.
Next he played a cartoon rendition of “Gay Eyes,” a made up movie that Adam worked up during a 2009 podcast with Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston. I can’t find the cartoon-version on line anywhere, but I remember hearing it when it went down. Here is the audio.
The next 45 minutes… what Adam is known for… more complaining. No “what can’t Adam complain about” requests from the audience, but some pre-loaded hyper vigilance rants that hit on many topics: tagging the landscape in Los Angeles, buttons on car keys, shower handles in hotels, key cards in hotels, toys under sofas, custom shoes, WC Field’s smoking & drinking poster in the doctor’s office, L.A. ice cream truck, recumbent cyclists, Click-It or Ticket, auto flush toilets, the L.A. “river,” rescue dogs, and how Mexicans grieve.
He ended the show with a stroll through memory lane via his Social Security Statement. From an astonishing $1k to $9k/year of earnings for most of the 80s to stardom in the mid 90s. His “money can’t buy you happiness” was a nice, uplifting non-rant about applying yourself to work towards doing what you want to do.
Some of his stories were ones we’d heard before via the podcast or radio show… he was playing to his audience; so it was all good. Adam is a busy guy… ever turning logs in the fire. Keep up to date with him via the links below… and by all means, if you like to listen to podcasts, make room in your queue for what I consider to be one of the best / funniest ones out there.

Next show for me… Maynard James Keenan’s PUSCIFER on 3/14 in Portland.

Tenacious D – Rize of the Fenix
Tenacious D confirmed on Friday 2/3 that the band – actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass – is in fact working on a follow-up to the Pick of Destiny, which was released back in 2006 to not-so-critical acclaim. It will be titled Rize of the Fenix (website with teaser clip).
Assuming this album is more like their debut (in 2001) and not so much like PoD, this may be some of the best music news of the year.

REVIEW: Popovich Comedy Pet Theater @ the Hult (Eugene, OR – 1/31/10)
FYI… A FEW PICTURES from the HULT SHOW at the BOTTOM
So, we got the flyer for the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater in the mail and had to go. It’s sponsored by Greenhill Humane Society – a great pet-friendly organization in Eugene. The show started at 2:30pm and was the same day as the Oregon Truffle Festival. Ack! Quandary! We opted hit the OTF 2010 beforehand. Amazing time at OTF, as usual. Check out my review of last year’s Oregon Truffle Fest, including the Lagotto Romagnolo (truffle dog) demo.
Anyway, back to Popovich… or as I like to call it… Pupovich…
Gregory Popovich has been featured on tons of television shows (Leno, Letterman, America’s Got Talent, et cetera), featuring his amazingly trained pets (all rescue animals – even the geese). Most notably, he has actually managed to train house cats to do tricks.
Let me let that sink in for you.
House cats. Here’s a USA Today article/interview with Gregory with a cat-training Q&A.
The show started shortly after 2:30pm… with a little doggie announcer (see video below). The first set was about 45 minutes until the intermission. It was jam packed with juggling, acrobatics, tight-rope walking animals, and more. Some of my favorite bits were the train intro (cute stuff going on), the snowy park scene, and the class scene (full of about 8 dogs). The end of the train scene with the dog dressed up as an elephant was hilarious. I’m more of a dog fan; so the way they were all working together with Gregory in the class scene was really cute. The dog & cat interaction during the snowy park scene was also really endearing.
(more pictures below)
The second set (about 30 minutes) started off with a cute doggie balloon soccer game. Up next was an adorable doggie medical clinic set, followed by impressive human rope jumpers. The finale was the cat show… about a dozen cats climbing posts, jumping through hoops, tight rope walking, parallel bar work, and all around being cats! At the end one of the cats didn’t want to leave; so Gregory brought out a dog and it got on its hind legs, and then the cat jumped on its shoulders and rode away on the walking dog.
Overall, the afternoon was highly entertaining and adorable! If you are in Vegas or if the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater comes to your town… go!

Now, we need to get our cute, but lazy, dog to do some tricks…

REVIEW: Bill Maher @ the Hult (Eugene, OR – 11/13/09)
I don’t have HBO, but my love for Bill Maher has grown exponentially in the past 2+ years with the advent of podcasts. His HBO show, New Rules, gets released for free in audio version about a few days after it airs (iTunes link). He’s right alongside Keith Olbermann & Rachel Maddow (both from MSNBC), George Hrab’s Geologic Podcast (not about geology), and Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier’s SModcast in my “must listen once they get downloaded” queue.
OK, enough podcast talk… I also love what Bill Maher did last year with his comedy / documentary Religulous. It was more comedy than an actual documentary for me, and it was quite entertaining from a non-believers point of view. While I don’t think it’ll change (m)any minds, I still enjoyed it quite well.
When Bill gets time off from his show, sometimes he hits the road. When I found out about his Eugene date, I already had tickets to go see Cincinnati band Over the Rhine up at Portland’s Doug Fir Lounge. I was torn. I mean, I’ve seen Over the Rhine fifty times (no lie), but I really love them. Well, my wife had a Eugene art community show conflict the same night as OTR; so I sold our tickets and opted for Maher instead (sorry, Karin & Linford, we’ll catch you next year).
There was no opener, and Bill Maher hit the stage right around 8:15 and did a solid hour and a half of his crude but poignant comedy. He touched on many topics and comedic bits from New Rules… the economy, politics, religion, and food culture in America.
Some of my favorite bits were on religion, specifically the Mormontology bit, the Muslim Dior fashion show, and the Pope’s Facebook relationship status (“it’s complicated”).
Some of my favorite lines:
“Crocs – for people who find flip flops a little too dressy.”
“Those liberals, always wanting to get across the river in one piece.” (sarcastic re: the politics of spend, i.e.- wanting to build crazy things like infrastructure)
“The Republicans have looked to the future for their political leadership and found… radio.”
“Ronald McDonald has killed a lot more people than Osama Bin Laden.”
I don’t agree with all of Bill’s stances, specifically some of his thoughts on medicine. I don’t think he’s being all too scientific in his vocal stance against vaccines, for example. However, he really didn’t bring those topics up last night.
Overall, I think Bill Maher’s stand-up is a lot like George Carlin – many of the same topics – crude, cutting, and powerful humor.

Twitter Concerto #1
George Hrab puts out the best almost hour of new content each week via his Geologic Podcast. As of late, he also tweets roughly 10 jokes a day, too (amidst working on his 6th studio album, Trebuchet). His tweets are usually quite punny… which means… awesome!
Some of my starred feeds from him:
- Owls make great census workers.
- I wonder how frogs describe it to each other when they hear someone died.
- If Al Green where Indonesian, I think he should have sung “Let’s Satay Together.”
- Both Philip and Ira’s faces momentarily lit up when they saw the sign for “Glass Blowing.”
- When I was your age my idea of X-Box was what I used for break dancing.
- You ever hear the one about the Eskimo who didn’t like making igloos? He just wasn’t that Inuit.
- I would love to watch Frank Gehry and I.M. Pei play Jenga.
- Chunky peanut butter: appealing. Chunky regular butter: not so much.
- Personally, I’d rather think outside the envelope and push the box.
Well, Geologic Podcast #137 (link) has a special feature where it mostly consists of the Twitter Concerto #1 – his reading of some of his tweets over some improv music. It’s funny. (Warning: not for kids – there is some dirty language).

Get Cross…
David Cross was playing at the Newmark Theatre in Portland, OR, on a day that I already had local Eugene plans (Th, Sep 24 – Raquy and the Cavemen). Well, David’s show sold out so fast that they added a 2nd show the next night (Fri, Sep 25)… yay! Needless to say, I already blue my tickets this morning.
For your own 2nd Portland David Cross show tickets… GO HERE.
This is going to be two weeks in a row with four shows on consecutive nights… batch 1 (Sept 15-19): Porcupine Tree & That1Guy / Wynton Marsalis / Sunny Day Real Estate / Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey (well, JFJO is a maybe as it’s the same day as PDX VegFest and we’re volunteering there early in the day), and then batch 2 (Sep 24-27): Raquy & the Cavemen / David Cross / Alice in Chains / Works Progress Administration (with Glen Phillips & Nickelcreek folks).
I wouldn’t have it any… other… way. I do have a feeling that my concert reviews will suffer a backlog. Anyway, I’ll take photos on shows I am able…

REVIEW: Jerry Seinfeld @ Hult Center (Eugene, OR – 5/21/09)
Mini-review…
It’s been a while since seeing Jerry Seinfeld live. I was always a big fan of that television show that he was on… you know… um, what was it called? Oh, yeah… Benson. I hear he kinda “faded away” after that early-80s stint on Benson . ;)
The opener was Larry Miller. He was the doorman on Seinfeld, plus he’s been in other television shows and movies (like Best in Show). Funny stuff, but he only did about 20-25 minutes of material. It was odd, because not even a minute later… on comes Jerry… at 7:28pm*…
Well, third time seeing him… Jerry did a lot of familiar jokes, and it was great. Horse racing, cellphones, “going out,” old people in Florida, being a parent… He did an hour’s worth of material, and then came back on for about 10 minutes of Q&A. Complete with a classic “Hello, Newman.” :)
*- I only made note of the time as it shocked me that it was starting soooo early.

Flight of the Conchords – 2nd season premiere (online)
The first episode of the second season of the New Zealand comedy Flight of the Conchords has premiered a month early on Funny or Die.
From Paste:
In the second season opener, Bret and Jemaine are quick to fire their affable manager, Murray. After the addition and swift subtraction of a new band member last season, Murray has spent much of his time with the Flight of the Conchords reject, who formed a new and rather popular band that Murray manages, Crazy Dogs. But the boys bounce back, scoring a job writing a jingle for a women’s-only organic toothpaste. In a Conchord first, Murray sings a solo ditty after Jemaine and Bret leave his (brand new, huge!) office. The tune is pretty painful, but overall the episode is predictably hilarious considering the very talented sources.
The show returns to the regular airwaves on HBO on Sunday, Jan. 18 at 10 p.m. EST, but you can watch it now at Funny or Die (click link below):

odd music news day
I honestly don’t know which one I like best…
(1) Tool front-man Maynard James Keenan planning a Las Vegas act at The Palms for 2009, or
(2) The Beatles 14-minute avant-garde “Carnival of Light” experiment (from 1967) is going to be released
From Blabbermouth:
The Pulse of Radio reports that TOOL frontman Maynard James Keenan is putting together a cabaret-style show for a string of dates at The Palms in Las Vegas, beginning in mid-February. According to an inside source, the shows will feature both comedy and music. Keenan is not a stranger to this kind of gig – he told The Pulse of Radio that his side band PUSCIFER actually evolved out of a similar type of show he used to do in his pre-TOOL days in Hollywood. “Generally started off as a name that I was attaching to some of the comedy things I was doing with (comedian) Laura Milligan at this club called Tantrum which existed in the Diamond Club on Hollywood and La Brea,” he said. “(We’d) have a variety show, lots of talent coming through there just kind of trying out their new stuff. So PUSCIFER was kind of like the band that would kind of close the show.”
Milligan is a comedian and actress seen on “Mr. Show” and more recently in “Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny”. Several performers from both projects used to work on the same gigs as Keenan. Keenan’s Vegas act will reportedly incorporate both friends and outside musicians to perform some music from PUSCIFER and other material.
The Beatles’ “Carnival of Light,” a 14-minute experimental piece from 1967, may see the light of day soon if Paul McCartney has his way. McCartney confirmed the track’s existence in a BBC Radio 4 interview; the song was recorded for an electronic music festival but was never officially released.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Front Row, McCartney said: “The time has come for it to get its moment. “I like it because it’s The Beatles free, going off piste. I said all I want you to do is just wander around all the stuff, bang it, shout, play it, it doesn’t need to make any sense. Hit a drum then wander on to the piano, hit a few notes, just wander around. So that’s what we did and then put a bit of an echo on it. It’s very free.” According to BBC News, McCartney pushed for the song to be included on The Beatles’ Anthology releases in the mid-’90s, but it was vetoed by the rest of the band.

Mitch Hedberg – Do You Believe in Gosh?
I feel fortunate enough to have seen Mitch Hedberg several times in SW Ohio & N.Kentucky before his untimely death (and even have the original/indie/cartoon drawing cover Strategic Grill Locations CD).
While his death came young [age 37], it wasn’t all that surprising. Drugs took their toll on his life, but it might be said that drugs gave him the courage to even get up on stage. Regardless of the ills or benefits drugs had on Mitch, his comedy is missed. He was called the surfer/stoner Steven Wright. I think that short-changed his uniqueness.
Apparently, two months prior to his death he recorded material that would become his last album. Do You Believe in Gosh? comes out September 9th:

Andy Barker, P.I. = One of the best shows of recently canceled fame.
It starred Andy Richter as a Certified Public Accountant turned Private Investigator due to taking over the office of a former P.I. I thought it was hilarious… and not just because I’m a CPA… my wife (an artist) loved it, too.
The only primetime show to joke about a 10-key, I’m sure.
It only had 6 episodes. Who do we petition for it to be released on DVD? Or at least BetaMax?
