Live at the Hungry Brain with Dmitry Samarov, James Fritz and Scott Lucas
The quest for Iggy Pop continues.
Merle has been pronouncing states incorrectly for quite some time.
Dmitry Samarov, author of "HACK: Stories from a Chicago Cab," artist and cabbie explains why he has to pick everyone up and bicycles.
James Fritz delivers my favorite set on the podcast in the last calender year, if not the history of the show.
Scott Lucas from Local H and Scott Lucas & the Married Men plays five songs when he planned to play three.
Rock Falls is the house band and plays a few gorgeous songs throughout the show.
One of my favorites.
I'm on the most recent You Could Be Dead with James Fritz episode along with the lovely Liza Treyger. Download/listen to it here.
The Chicago Reader has this new section called Culture Vultures. Three Chicagoans are asked what they're consuming in terms of pop culture. I got to recommend James Fritz "Deflated" and Battlestations "The Unicorn." You can read the piece here.

A post-show show with Chicago standup James Fritz. We talk about very important issues. Very important.
We should all be so lucky to drink with Robin Tunney at the Long Room.
Roast jokes are not that easy to write.
It really doesn't matter what you watch before a show.
No matter the outcome, you need therapy.
I talked to James because I'm not having a good time at open mics. I needed help. I got something like it.
OMC existed. They had a song entitled, "How Bizarre." The song made a lot of people a lot of cocaine.
