Trump has let the states decide whether they want to defund Planned Parenthood or not. So, now, so many people are stepping up to have the back of Planned Parenthood.

So, to support the cause, a special collector’s box set of vinyl records featuring the comedy of Sarah Silverman, Aparna Nancherla, Jenny Slate, Margaret Cho, Tig Notaro, Janeane Garofalo, Pete Holmes, and Zach Galifianakis in addition to music from some of the musicians around like St. Vincent, Sleater-Kinney, Björk, Matt Berninger, Elliott Smith, Sharon Van Etten, Mitski, Feist, and Chvrches will be released soon. All of the comedy comes from Largo’s archives by the way.

Also, we like that the folks behind this project made this note:

Do we know there’s a joke in the name? We do. We hope the title evokes the rich history of 7-inch vinyl records as a medium for protest music and resistance.

Pre-sale date has yet to be announced, but you can get more info here.

Whether it’s be released or not, Comedy Dynamics is giving us all the definitive Bill Hicks collection.

12 CDs, 6 DVDs, and a photo booklet span every album and special that has seen the light of day as well as hours of unreleased performances by the legendary comedian.

While we can only imagine how Hicks would tackle talking about 9/11 on stage, you can be sure that he would be as fierce and unrelenting as he always was about fueling truth through his comedy and Fri. Sept. 11th, 2015 is probably as good a release date (even if it’s just a coincidence in this case) for a Hicks collection.

With TV headed more and more towards online streaming and disc drives are slowly disappearing on any sort of computer that isn’t a desktop, DVD box sets of your favorite shows are quickly going the way of vinyl records as collector items.

Already, The Simpsons have discontinued DVD box set production.

That being said, having the entire series of Parks and Recreation would still be pretty great. It’s probably a perfect gift for plenty of people you know. NBC is releasing a box set of the complete series, currently priced at $149.98, next week on Jun. 2nd.

At the very least, you can ensure a better chance of still being able to watch Parks and Rec if the “singularity” ever happens.

You can pre-order the box set here.

While you’re waiting for The Best Show to return, there’s something to make that wait even more enticing than it already is.

The Best Show’s Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster are coming out with a 16 CD boxed set “culled from the vaults of WFMU—the world’s most acclaimed free-form radio station—comes over 20 hours of mind-bending, hilarious phone calls between the renowned comedy duo of Tom Scharpling & Jon Wurster”.

There’s also “a 108-page hardcover book with cover art by Joe Matt that features essays by Patton Oswalt, Julie Klausner, Damian Abraham (lead singer of F*cked Up) and Best Show associate producer Michael Lisk (aka A.P. Mike), a definitive interview with Scharpling & Wurster by Jake Fogelnest, notes on the evolution and inspiration behind each bit written by Scharpling & Wurster, a USB drive with all of the calls plus 4 hours of bonus material, a fold-out map of Newbridge, Philly Boy Roy & Timmy von Trimble Paper Dolls, postcards, and temporary tattoos with The Best Show catch-phrases.”

If you pre-order from Numero Group, you’ll get a piece of a smashed phone that Wurster used to make the first Rock, Rot & Rule call along with a certificate of authenticity.

Don’t think this is all real? See Scharpling and Wurster all explain it themselves and smash the phone.

Then, put your pre-order in at Numero Group that ships out March of 2015 because you know you want this and that piece of the phone.
