Great Speeches of the 20th Century
: :Students and teachers of history, enthusiasts of speechmaking, and folks needing something different to spice up those mix tapes with will enjoy this inspired four-disc tour of a century. It's a bit heavy on events a baby boomer is most likely to be interested in, but there's nothing wrong with knowing one's audience. For the most part, these recordings make 20th-century history appear to be happening right now. It might sound clichéd, but it really is a thrill to hear history in the making: Woodrow Wilson lying to the American Indians, Gloria Steinem ...

Permanent Record
: :These 4 discs present 50 songs from modern rock's most unique and prolific parodist, Weird Al Yankovic. The set is not spiked with outtakes, rarities, or live versions, so fans who already own the majority of Yankovic's catalog will likely want to shy away from this collection, unless they merely live to give money to Weird Al. In his own inimitable fashion, Weird Al skewers almost every major pop-culture trend and puffed-up, pompous pop star. The rest of the songs are celebratorily wacky ditties, the workings of a splendidly talented--and mildly twisted--imagination. --James ...

Unconditional Love
:Album Description:Nothing quite captures the full experience of Rick's performance artistry like seeing him live. But if you can't do that, the album...is the next best thing. Rick Shapiro is not merely a stand up comedian. He doesn't really have a routine, per se. Really he just gets up on stage and explodes into a sort of stream of consciousness rant. During his performances, Rick unleashes the many characters living in his brain in a rapid fire purging that almost comes across as an assault. The former junky/prostitute turned actor-comedian has been called ...

The Best Of William Burroughs: From Giorno Poetry Systems
: :It's easy to forget that William S. Burroughs was once young and incredibly gifted, among the finest satirists that the English language has ever produced. Perhaps Burroughs the old raspy-monotoned man, the provocateur, huckster, junkie, experimentalist, or murderer spring to mind first. But this lovingly assembled Giorno Poetry Systems product reveals a Burroughs in love with words, performance, theater, and people. The expressive, distinct, often hilarious way in which this curious creature reads his powerful, transporting work has to be heard. ''Perhaps the appendix is already out, doctor,' the nurse said, peering dubiously ...
