Comedy: Patton Oswalt and Dave Burbank

Hello,

To celebrate Halloween, I'm posting a choice clip from one of my favorite comedians--Patton Oswalt. He's fairly well-known for his supporting role on the King of Queens and as the voice of the rat in Ratatouille. However, he's also known for his biting, sarcastic, and darkly funny stand-up comedy. Here is a bit about Dave Burbank and living in the suburbs for Halloween.

Music of the Week: The Bad Shepherds

Hello,

I've got a wicked treat for you this week.

Everybody knows Adrian Edmondson, one half of the comedy violence duo that was Bottom, the Young Ones, the Dangerous Brothers. (The other half being of course, Rick Mayall (genius!)) Never satisfied with leaving a legacy of comedy gold -- Eddie has embarked on new endeavor that left me with a grin from ear to ear.

Having bought a mandolin on a lark, he started learning to play songs he liked. What songs came first -- punk! He calls a mate they work out a few more. Thus, the Bad Shepherds were born. Punk classics played on traditional folk instruments. Again, creativity -- finding something completely new by melding two seemingly different things.

Here they are doing the Clash's 'London Calling'. Enjoy!




Stay inspired!

Cheers,
Maurice
