Review of Jeremy Braddock's "Firesign" in latest issue of New York Review of Books: www.nybooks.com

Hello, I was looking for a copy of "Pedicure as a Way of Life" by Martha Throat?

Was reminded the other day that the barely-recognizable processed voices for the pilot and the bombardier in this game were Phil Austin and Phil Proctor of the Firesign Theatre. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM1E...

The visual aid to the Dear Friends episode "Live at the Ash Grove" that we've all been waiting for #CadillacCrushedByWhaleMeat

And he was Lilian Wroth in his extremity

A thing we did not know until this week is that the brilliant Bruce Litz's cover for "Three Faces of Al" does in fact have a wild variety of color going on

As we start into the holiday buying season, we'd like to remind you of our landmark archival release for @firesigntheatre.bsky.social, Dope Humor of the Seventies, available now, on #vinyl, at our website. tinyurl.com/ymd7sk23

BUT WAIT, you remember that one Dear Friends show "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Inquisition" from 10/18/1970 that was really good but there was a chunk missing? Any guesses? WHY YES, and here's a link to the restored show, again totally free: archive.org/details/ft-d...

And AS IF THAT WEREN'T AWESOME ENOUGH, that open reel also contained "The Sword and the Stoned", the second version Firesign performed on December 17, 1967. It was missing the first minute and a half. No longer! That show likewise is now available on @archive.org : archive.org/details/ft-l...

As buyers of Live at the Magic Mushroom know, our reissue contained every Magic Mushroom play except "The Last Tunnel to Fresno", because no copy was known. YOU WILL NEVER GUESS what just showed up. archive.org/details/ft-l...

Celebrity to Catch a Predator

MGM letterhead logo from 1965. Taken from this classic "I, a powerful person, am completely useless"-type letter from the collection of Firesign's Phil Austin (we've all saved one of those!). Guy Green was a director, at the time lensing "A Patch of Blue" for MGM.

"Eggs to Market: The Story of Automated Egg Processing" (1964, Film Associates of California), featuring uncredited narration by our own David Ossman (who says "I think I did a half dozen voiceovers for these guys"): www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzRH...

I wrote about the audiotape Allen Ginsberg used to compose his great Vietnam-War-and-media poem "Wichita Vortex Sutra" @firesigntheatre.bsky.social

Featuring @vpmattsaxe.bsky.social as the 1960s version of Herschel F. Comedy-Hour, part of the multi-generational management team who managed our multi-generational comedy team. Herschel was most recently played by @firesigntheatre.bsky.social's own Phil Proctor. Mr. Beeper portrayed by Mike Shaver.

Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️‍🌈

The @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social had a long piece about Jeremy Braddock's book about the @firesigntheatre.bsky.social. Now available through @ucpress.bsky.social. Link in replies. We also released Firesign's double #LP for Dope Humor of the Seventies (scroll for image), available on our site now.

I wrote about the greatest work of Firesign Theatre fan art and how it led, via the Situationist International, to the Church of the SubGenius. @subgenius.bsky.social @firesigntheatre.bsky.social @ucpress.bsky.social
