Tracy Morgan

There is no greater master of absurd humor on television right now than Tracy Morgan on 30 Rock. I've never seen anything like it. He basically plays an emotionally disturbed/possibly slightly mentally retarded comedian who flips out when people say "pumpkin" to him and who pretends he's illiterate. It's brilliant.

I just figured I'd give him props since I was very brutal about him when he was on Saturday Night Live. I want to revisit his sketches, because I assume many are simply ahead of their time, or at least weirder than I was prepared for at the time.

Got the new Arcade Fire, !!! and Brother Ali recently. I like the Arcade Fire, but other than "My Body is a Cage" and "Black Wave, Bad Vibrations" it's not stunning. The new !!! is terrible, and I haven't popped Brother Ali in yet. Should also be getting the new El-P (feat. Trent Reznor?!?!) and Battles in the mail soon.

In other news, I interviewed JP from The Locust today and am playing in a staff vs. students softball game tomorrow. Heck yes.
