Get Joe DeRosa’s New Album Mistakes Were Made: The B-Sides
September 2, 2014
Uncategorized
b-sides, comedy album, joe derosa, mistakes were made

When you’ve been a comedian long enough, you likely have a catalog of material that’s taped over the years that perhaps was great, but didn’t quite fit in certain places in albums or specials. Often, those bits just get lost in the archives, but Joe DeRosa has put them together in an entire album. In fact, it was so much, that he made it into a double album.

Thus, Mistakes Were Made: The B-Sides was born and we suggest getting it from iTunes as it was just released today and enjoying it soon as you can.

Jake Flores’ Debut Comedy Album “Humours” Out Now

Years ago, we saw Jake Flores at a diversity showcase and thought he was hysterical and pointedly different from everyone else, even though he was already on a “diversity” showcase. Then, because he was living in Austin, TX at the time and we’re here in LA, we didn’t see him for awhile until just recently.

In that time, we’re glad to find that Flores has moved to Brooklyn and released his debut comedy album Humours from Stand Up! Records as well as having the same weirdly, dark sense of humor that we saw all those years ago.

So, with that said, get Humours.

If you were lucky enough to actually get to go Bob Odenkirk’s album taping for AST Records months ago, you might have noticed Brandon Wardell opening the show, which is pretty standard for a comedy album taping. 

However, having the opener also on your album is sort of unprecedented. Leave it to Odenkirk to keep us all guessing, but we’re happy to hear that not only will Wardell be on the album Amateur Hour, but he will be going on tour with Odenkirk in October.

That’s right Bob Odenkirk is going on tour in October. More details will be coming soon.

Billboard has just reported their official chart toppers and it Weird Al Yankovic has indeed made it to #1 with his latest album Mandatory Fun. This is an overdue first for Weird Al.

Even more impressive than that is Mandatory Fun now rests as the sole comedy album to reach the top of the charts this millennium as the last #1 comedy album was released in 1963 with Allan Sherman’s  My Son, The Nut.
