 Divine Comedy Interview - Atomduster   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Regeneration is the album to which I refer and in common with Dante’s writing draws upon love, wit, tenderness and the learning of its modern day author, not forgetting that this will be considered the point at which the 21st Century’s Divine Comedy went global.
But now we’ve made this album that we think is going to sell itself anyway and yeah, as it turns out there are some great singles on it, but we didn’t set out to make them and Parlophone didn’t put us under any pressure at all.
So it is on this positive note that I left The Divine Comedy preparing for their UK tour in a weeks time (first date; March 12th in Sheffield, with Wolverhampton and Cambridge following a few dates later on the 17th and 20th).

 The History of Comedy
The best-kept secret in comedy broke out with a vengeance on the Daily Show, and the White Album, Lewis’ 2000 debut, served notice that he was a comedy force to be reckoned with.
Dangerous, his 1990 debut album wasn’t the public’s first taste of Hicks, he’d done plenty of TV prior to that; it was however the first chance the public had to analyze his comedy.
Verbal comedy became so popular that at the height of WWI, President Woodrow Wilson requested, and was given, a solo comedy performance by comedienne May Irwin, so that he could have a good laugh, and keep his mind off the war.

 Amazon.com: Music: Comedy Is Not Pretty!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Comedy Is Not Pretty, and admittedly this third LP isn't quite as good as Let's Get Small and Wild and Crazy Guy, in part because at points it is cruder, particularly in Steve's somewhat embarassing sketch on Jackie Onassis.
From the taking of histages (the Iran hostage crisis gave the album an eerie topicality at the time of its 1979 release) through Steve's tips on becoming a millionaire, Comedy may not be Pretty, but it is still funny.
On his final comedy album, "The Steve Martin Brothers", a full side of the album is just Steve's banjo playing (the other half obviously comedy).

 Van Gogh-Goghs album: Keepin' It Reel
Second, the album was released on Christmas Day, a day when no one wants to buy Christmas albums.
Three, the material on the album deals neither with Christmas nor comedy, but rather is a psychotic rant about pancake batter.
The only thing even remotely close to Christmas comedy is the track "Christmas Slug Bathhouses." This track starts with Childs screaming, "Christmas slug bathhouses!", then continued with his pancake batter diatribe.

Over successive albums he's slowly been moving in that direction--from curious pop novelty with an avid interest in camp kitsch to the sly storyteller of 2001's brilliant Regeneration.
Another traditional aspect of this album is the lovely mixture of song tempo from one track to the next, which makes listening, akin to reading a book of short stories, or (to be really cheesy) chomping your way through a tin of Quality Street.
Overall this is a decent album but it could've been better if Divine Comedy had pushed themselves a bit more and got rid of the bareness of certain tracks.

The "reformed" Divine Comedy's new album 'Absent Friends' is due out on the 29th of this month, which I'm looking forward to.
I really liked their last album, Regeneration, but it was a lot gloomier than previous DC outings, and I suspect this was due to it being a colaboration of the band rather than being mostly by Neil Hannon.
From what I've heard of the new album, it's a return to the likes of Casanova (my favourite DC album) and Liberation.

The most unique thing about Comedy Minus One, though, is how it tweaked the boundaries of the comedy album as an art form.

 Amazon.co.uk: Music: Best Comedy Album in the World...Ever! [BOX SET]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Apart from the BBC's extensive catalogue of radio comedy shows most of the classic comedy stars' material is either out of print or hard to track down, and expensive.
Inevitably, in trying to cover such a wide range, some selections will not be to everyone's taste (I always found Spike Milligan, outside of the Goons, supremely unfunny) but there is plenty here for those of us over, say 40, to remember with a smile, and for those younger to broaden their education.
This album is worth having purely for the sheer brilliance of the best bits of the album, but be prepared to realise that these could have been put on just one CD.

This comedy portion of this album is flawless.
