...Nonetheless, it continues to be more popular than stand-up comedy. But last year, whilst in Australia, I "cut a record" (as we say in the business), of modern "hate music", with the loud band The Hard-Ons. The record has finally been released, and Boni Jergen, webmaster of my unofficial site, has consented to let us try and sell copies on a spare webpage that she had lying around:

http://www.americasfunnyman.com/contact_1.html

The record is called "American Exports", and there are 4 fast-paced songs on it. It comes in a handy-dandy cover, and was released in Germany, by an organization calling themselves "Red Lounge Records". Only a handful were made, and it is not readily available in any store that I know of, so you'd best visit that link, if you have any interest in adding this "recorded jewel" to your colletion.

Kind regards from
Neil Hamburger

You can listen to this on the internet, if you know how. (I don't!)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Would you like to be annoyed by TWICE-HOURLY bleeps and blips, alterting you to the latest traffic jam or car breakdown experienced by "America's #1 Funnyman", Neil Hamburger?

It probably won't happen, as Neil is far too busy and much too inept to be a regular "Twitter correspondent". Yet a Twitter account has been set up: www.twitter.com/neil_hamburger

Here's a video Tom Green put together featuring highlights from last night's show at Spaceland...with David Liebe Hart, James Quall, Rob Schneider, Jason Rouse, and more!

Friends,

Yesterday a new DVD was released by Epic, entitled "Tenacious D: The Complete Masterworks 2".

Those folks who purchase this DVD at BEST BUY, will find that disc 2 has some additional bonus features and "deleted scenes", including a short film entitled "Neil Hamburger On Tour", which encapsulates the great moments I spent, dodging fruit and coins, on stage, opening for Tenacious D. Backstage and "on the road" vehicular footage is also included in this miniature, 5 minute documentary, which ONLY appears on copies of this DVD sold at BEST BUY. If you buy the disc elsewhere, the footage does not appear. Unfair, I agree!

I do not want to shill for Best Buy. I do not even like the store. But if you want to see this footage, including the "exploding glass sequence" from Chicago's UIC Pavilion show, you will need to get down to your local Best Buy location, where this 2 DVD set is on sale this week for a mere $11.99.

Your friend,
Neil Hamburger

 

This man was a true inspiration to me, and to all entertainers, who believe in giving their all to an audience, night after night, at great personal expense. I was fortunate enough to have seen this great entertainer in person numerous times.

The dirty, poorly-dressed, tuneless rock singers who stink up the stages currently could learn a thing or two from the great Levi Stubbs!

Drink!
Neil Hamburger
