101 Comedy Records

Does Eminem's first album count? Funniest thing I've heard in recent years.

(I could fill out this whole list just with albums I have, probably)

"Monty Python SINGS"

is stuffed with diamonds
make it #1 - now!

(btw, who's the Dennis Wilson whose music's in Fawlty Towers? anyone know? couldn't've been the Beach bro'?!)

Slightly less hilarious, but funny all the same -

75. Matt Besser May I Help You (Dumbass)?

49. Oasis - _Definitely Maybe_

I really should beat up Dan or something, but what would be the point?

Sean: Strictly speaking, no. But I want your job. ;^}

Don't tell him that, J. Lu! He'll be sad! After all, he already hates me because I reviewed stuff he wanted to. ;-)

More of you should write for the AMG, I'm thinking. Yeah, you're all at the VV, but when it comes to the actual descriptions of albums people see when buying the darn things online at most outlets, WHO ARE THE CONSUMERS READING, HA HA! (Note: I do not in fact condone this as a rationale.)

Besides, I follow the green, my friend. Moolah...

Pop, surely. That's the point if ILX is taking over! Rah! :-)

And hey, I'm getting money from the AMG as well, trust me. It's proven very handy. :-)

78. Bill Hicks - Rant in E Minor

I can't get behind this MacLean and MacLean thing, dave, but how about this:

80. Nestor Pistor: Winestoned Plowboy.

We've also dropped a few numbers in here somewhere, so this really should be, 83 or 84 or something, but I'm too lazy to do a proper tabulation, what with all of the joke answers.

"Oh I think I'll just ask for this Negativland album..."

*screams of pain from Toronto*

"Er, oops?"

[Sean is of course a crackerjack human being through and through. :-)]

Dear friend of me: (me being Louis C.K.)

Hi. I'm writing to you and *ahem* a couple of other people, to let you
know that there is still time to vote for me in Comedy Central's
"Standup Showdown" Thingy. Just go here...

http://www.comedycentral.com/standup/showdown/vote.jhtml

And vote for me. You can do it every day if you want to, between now
and Febuary. (spelled wrong)

If I win, or at least finish in the top 15, they will re-air my Comedy
Central half hour special on the Febuary 2nd (spelled wrong again).
Also I want to win because that will make me better than other people.
Not better than YOU, of course, just other people.

So if you like me and would like to help me, go here...

http://www.comedycentral.com/standup/showdown/vote.jhtml

And vote for my ass. Right now I'm #13, which is perilously close to
the bottom, so please help.

If you don't like me, and I shouldn't have sent you this annoying
email, by all means, please respond and tell me so.

If you have friends who would like to help, please forward this email
to them.

Voting is extremely easy. You don't have to register or anything and
they don't get to have your email. So no one will send you any stupid
emails... except for me.

If you would never like to hear from me again, respond to this email
and express that sentiment.

I would now like to thank you, my wonderful friend, for reading this
email and for everything else you did today, for I'm certain that it
was perfect.

Oh yeah, also, remember to visit my website http://www.louisck.com. I
have updated it muchly lately, including a new and better guestbook.
So come on over, ya'll!

regards,

Louis C.K.

Princess Goddess had to die. Now...she'll live for YOU in..."Pull My String".
