Music reviews of How to Win!
Music Review: MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT I'D HEARD...
Rating: 4 Stars
I was bored, cruising the web for something to laugh at... and I found it. The word on this lady is that she's annoying, uses whiny, nasal voices - at least that's what the PAID critics said, which I admit left me cold. And so I avoided her at the turn of every web page for some time. What an idiot. But after catching her on the "Comedy Death Ray" cd and loving what she did there, I opened up my wallet and bought "How to WIN!", figuring I might still be taking a chance. But I love her, she's both the most original & the funniest new female comic out there. Very intelligent, with great bits on America & the current slacker administration (Note to Maria: More of the political stuff, please... it suits you). Re: the hype about her 'irritating voices': I really hardly noticed a change i her delivery (meaning she's quite smooth). And I'm a 'guy', and for me 'Nasal'=IRRITATING. And nothing in HtW! annoyed me in the slightest. Other 'best bits' reflect her spotty employment record and those in which she relates conversations with her Mother and family visits home. If you're still unsure, check out the Amazon.com sample for the Comedy Death Ray album. It's representative of what she does, and it sold me. And because I think it helps to know what other comics I like (and don't), here goes: EXCELLENT: Sandra Bernhard, Lewis Black, Wanda Sykes. GREAT: Katt Williams, Lisa Lampanelli. HALL OF FAME: Carlin, Foxx, LaWanda Page, Dolemite aka Rudy Ray Moore. And finally, the comics I have absolutely NO USE FOR: Dane Cook, Sarah Silverman (the first 'cuz he's just an idiot - and Sarah because she tries so hard to be Smart, Quirky, Miss Urban Sophisticate that she's none of those things, she's just Jimmy Kimmel's (unfunny) girlfriend.
Description of How to Win!
Are you a gambler? No? Well, neither is comedian Maria Bamford, but she will show you How to WIN!, which is not a poker strategy guide, but the title of her second CD on Stand Up! Records. You will, however, learn how to live life as a temp, make a comedy club reservation, deal with your high school nemesis and age gracefully. Maria will personally guide you through an off-kilter primer of her mind via sharp observations, quiet demeanor and her amazing ability to change characters instantaneously. So, you?ve got to ask yourself: Do you want to succeed? Are you ready to party? Are you ready to roadie for REO Speedwagon? Then crank up some Alicia Keys because YOU might be ready to learn How to WIN!Miscellaneous CDs
