Me and Bob "Bobby 'O'" Odenkirk recorded a new Titannica sketch, with he and Brian "Brian-ey 'P'" as the legendary metal band and myself as a DJ. Here's Brian on what the whole thing is about:

"Here's what happened: I made a batch to sell at shows and at my website instead of dealing with a comedy label. Sparkiepop was sending them out for me, and they sold a lot quicker then I thought they would. Thanks to everybody who bought one.

"I recently signed to Relapse with the idea of doing more metal related stuff down the road, but first we decided to reissue Nerd Rage with some added material. It was just going to be this small thing until the Relapse deal happened. Now they'll get me in great record stores around the country and itunes and places in other english speaking countries. I recorded two funny songs with a metal super group featuring my good friend Scott Ian(who wrote the music) and Jon Tempesta on drums(Testament, Rob Zombie, Helmet) and Joey Vera(Armored Saint, Anthrax) on bass. I got guitar solos from Jon Donais from Shadows Fall and Russ Parish from Metal Skool. I also recorded a Titannica sketch with Odenkirk and Aukerman. Nerd Rage with the new material and new liner notes and photos will be available soon.

"Sorry about the lack of cds now, but I decided not to make more on my own in the meantime, because I didn't want to put out another batch without the bonus stuff. I didn't want fans to think I'm trying to take all their money. For those people who already bought one, the extra material will probably be available in single form and definitely on i-tunes. I'll make an official announcement when we have the release date."

Fear not, gentle FunBunchComedy fans -- you will hear news of a release date as soon as it breaks!!

"...After stalling when the original co-directors and head screenwriter bailed a year ago, the movie’s back on: Mr. Show veteran Scott Aukerman has been brought in to write new material, and Sanford Panitch, president of production at New Regency, the company financing the film, says shooting should resume 'in the next couple of months...'”

Here are some photos I sneaked from The Onion offices in New York last month...

Mid-way through the Sarah Silverman profile...

"Backstage at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre in L.A. for 'Comedy Death-Ray,' a 10 p.m.-to-6 a.m. marathon of ten-minute spots, Silverman is the pet of male comedians, a little sister whom they all love to kid. Nick Swardson spies her and shouts, 'Who wants to fart in my mouth?' He puts his arm around her. 'Remember that time I put my penis on Duck? He doesn't ask about me, does he?' A bunch of other guys come over, and Silverman is suddenly surrounded by very lanky males. 'Is this a tall party?' she asks.

"Silverman--followed by an angry Janeane Garofalo berating the audience for not understanding that New York Times reporter Judith Miller is protecting a criminal in the Bush administration -- tries out new material in her set. 'I love how Palestinians and Jews hate each other,' she says. 'It's so cute. Honestly, what's the difference? They're brown. They have an odor. It's like sweet potatoes hating yams. It's like how coyotes eat dogs -- they are dogs! And they eat them. There's no joke there, but it's a good point. It's like how birds eat eggs. You can't blame them, because eggs are awesome, but they're all --' she pantomimes eating an egg -- '"Yum, mmm, this came out of my pussy."'"

He did it once, was terrible, and still made it to the finals! This Friday see if he can think up any fat jokes for Joe Wagner (I bet he can!).

With host Chris Hardwick and contestants Jason Nash, Scott Aukerman, and Joe Wagner, with Tom Sharpe as the announcer.

From a new online review by campuscircle.net...

"...Scott Auckerman from "Mr. Show" plays the band’s manager as a fast-talking sleaze ball, stealing every scene in which he appears... This movie is very funny right to the end and well acted by all. Patton Oswalt ("King of Queens"), Kyle Gass (Tenacious D), Bob Odenkirk ("Mr. Show") and Brian Posehn ("Just Shoot Me") all add to the fun with cameo appearances..."

From punknews.org...

"The band’s manager Mickey, played by Scott Auckerman, supplies some of the movie’s more memorable moments with a handful of zingers... Aside from some one-liners by Mickey, NUFAN’s mischievous attitudes and live footage, a cameo from comedian Patton Oswalt, and Fat Mike’s small role, the film fails on several accounts..."
