Noz' list of The Top Ten Rap Songs of All Time Of Today reminded me that this is like the greatest song ever.

Live performances from our East Coast trip. Includes a conversation and music from Andrew W.K., Nellie McKay & the Aristocrats and The Spinto Band.

I feel like it's been six months since I've seen a hip-hop video *not* directed by Rik Cordero. He must be charging $20 apiece, two for $35.

Also: am I mistaken in thinking that ?uest is getting his Milton on?

Anyway, Kamal is killing it with that keyboard line, and Peedi and Thought kill it on the mike. Half Mandrill half Mandala? That's ill, BT. Also: Dice Raw gets line of the song award for "I'm kinda like W.E.B. Dubois... meets Heavy D and the Boys."

"Philly Boy Roy" Ziegler, regular caller to The Best Show on WFMU, visits Patton Oswalt and the Comedians of Comedy at their Philadelphia tour stop. Luckily, Henry from Chunklet Magazine was running his video camera to capture this historic moment.

Paul F. Tompkins has been performing standup comedy for over twenty years. He's perhaps best known as a castmember of HBO's Mr. Show, and as a talking head on VH1, Real Time with Bill Maher and Countdown with Keith Olbermann. He's just released his first standup CD, called "Impersonal," on AST Records.

Come on... I know you don't have a date! Listen! Tell them you love the show!

The one and only Mr. Paul F. Tompkins visited MaxFunHQ yesterday. We did an extensive interview that you can hear in audio on the podcast in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, though, I've prepared a VIDEO version of the proceedings.

You can watch it above, or download it directly from Google video, although the quality may be slightly compromised. If you'd like the iPod-optimized high quality download version, you can get that too... due to it's relatively large size, I'm distributing it via torrent here on MySpleen. MySpleen requires an invite, so if you need one, just email me with your email address and (for security purposes) your favorite TSOYA moment. You don't have to go into detail, I just don't want randoms asking for invites.

Here's the embed code for the video, if you'd like to add it to your blog, webpage or myspace:

And be sure to check out Paul's brand new album "Impersonal," which is available at Store.Aspecialthing.com for just ten bucks.
