play list - 10/28/2010

2 highlights for me today.
1) played from my new favorite cd, ursula 1000.  very cool electrnic old-style funk, a lot like chris joss, who i've been enjoying for many months.  they're on the same label in fact
2) last month i listened to an audio book by steve martin (read by him) about his childhood and developing his stand up act.  its called "born standing up" and was very good.  i remembered that i had a couple of his vinyl records so i played from one that he talks about in the book, called "let's get small".  he's a hilarious guy

couldn't find any real good video of steve martin's old stand up act, but on the theme of hilarious guys, here is video for a different one: bobby lee.  he will be in kansas city next weekend, so we are GOING!


 i'm out of town next week, mike murphy is covering for me.  then i have two more shows after that.
