play lo-fi play hi-fi  Rockabye Station
I'm just a simple man. A simple man who likes having his voice amplified in cramped rooms, so any and all who pass by can be deafened by what wit I call insight, and what sophmoric banter I call comedy.
Why this name?
It's my name. I'm extremely uncreative.
Do you play live?
I'm a New York comic, and I can't see doing it any place else. My crowning achievement still being, stopping on a street corner in Hell's Kitchen and hearing a bunch of sailors, in for fleet week, repeat one of my jokes to their friends. It was certainly a high point of the weekend, where I spent most of my time in a corner of a sports bar, listening to a bunch of sailors, in for Fleet week, proposition my girlfriend. It was nice to have some alone time that Saturday morning.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The 'net has the odd ability to create communities out of no where. They are tenuous, but when you consider the odd collective that can be culled...these are people who would never have met in a million years sharing their art. There ain't nothing wrong wit that.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Brotha needs ta get paid, son!
