Do you listen to non-music media?


Hi I still have comedy vinyls I enjoy listening. I also bought some comedy CDs as well. I'm also fan of Ernest Hemigway reading his own novels.

Please share if you sometimes 'waste resources' of your precious audio system and just lay down a comedy or any spoken word record or CD to play?

I have some comedy albums, but the largest part of my spoken word collection is Shakespeare plays, most of them from the Caedmon label. For Shakespeare lovers, there is also a great record by John Gielgud of his Ages of Man one man show. This is actually one of my LPs I use for testing the system or a new component thereof. I have taken it to other people's homes and to audio shops many times.
I'll watch or listen to Eddie Murphy's Delirious stand up comedy act from the 80s every now and then.
I loves me some Firesign Theater and John Boy and Billy (Charlotte, NC radio DJs)....

Czarivey-surprised you didn't mention Cheech & Chong.Hey just pulling your chain.I have a couple hundred comedy LPs.Including Neutrino Corporation mastered by Robert Ludwig.A shelf full of Spoken Word including many poets e.g.Vachel Lindsay,Allen Ginsberg,Ezra Pound.My favorite poet on vinyl is Dylan Thomas on the previously cited Caedmon imprimatur.Also love sound effect Lps.The Elektra guide to Electronic Music gets an occaisonal spin.That one has examples of electronically generated sounds,like Ring Modulators for example.Very entertaining.Nice idea for a thread Czar.
Casey, I didn't mention any comedian, but I'm huge fan of George Carlin, Cheech Y Chong, Steve Martin, Jackie Mason and certainly Lisa Lampanelli! Can't wait to see her in Carolina Theatre in May... Holding my tickets tight!
