I was flipping through the channels one Sunday night. (I almost said
"flipping the dial", but let's face it: when was the last
time you saw a TV with a dial? Not even at Motel 6.) Nothing much
appealed, although I'd stop for a few minutes on Comedy Central before
continuing my desperate search for entertainment. Comedy Central were
running a show they called their Stand Up Shootout. And the
comedians were pretty funny, although not funny enough to keep me from
continuing to scan.
And then a funny thing happened. On one pass, I saw this guy with a
guitar and a fairy tale background. And he was singing. Singing
well. But these really twisted songs. Like the one about his
girlfriend with the extra equipment. The thirty seconds of
Herm
Aphrodite on the iTMS will tell you whether Stephen Lynch is
your cup of tea. But before you go, take a moment to hear
Jim
Henson's Dead. Because for at least this one track, Lynch is
using his powers for good. Not that there's anything wrong with using
them for evil.
