“Comedy Death-Ray… has become one of the most prestigious nights of stand up in the country.”
Interesting LA Times Sunday Calendar piece on alternative comedy. They came to Comedy Death-Ray a lot and interviewed Scott Aukerman.
“And when [the audience laughs], the agents in the audience hear money.”
Okay, that’s gruesome, but the rest of the article is interesting.

(some people just got this email in their inbox! If you would like to receive similar emails you can sign up here)
Hi! You are receiving this email because you like books, or like us, or asked to receive this email, or perhaps at some point you talked to one of us or emailed us, and we thought you might be interested in our new bookstore.
Emily Books is not a regular bookstore. It’s more like a club, actually. We only sell ebooks, and only a few of them.
But maybe you hate ebooks! We did too, at first. But we like instant gratification, and reading a bunch of books at once. So we started downloading books—but quickly became bummed that not everything we wanted was available, and that there wasn’t the kind of bookselling culture around ebooks that there is around physical books. That might be because two huge corporations control the sales of most ebooks.
We want to make reading ebooks and buying ebooks sustainable for readers, writers, booksellers, publishers—everyone—in the long run. We want there to eventually be a lot of places on the internet that are just like your favorite local independent bookstore. Emily Books is the first independent ebookstore. We hope it is the first of many.
We’re beginning by selling just one book, adding at least one new title to our inventory monthly. Each book we sell is available a la carte, or you can buy a subscription and get our picks automatically each month.
Our first pick, available in ebook for the first time ever, is No More Nice Girls by Ellen Willis. It’s a collection of essays by one of the most fascinating, cool, revolutionary thinkers of the late 20th century. For more (a lot more) about NMNG and Willis’s legacy, head to our blog, where we’ll be posting essays about the book by writers like Sady Doyle, Alice Gregory, Nicole Cliffe, Elizabeth Gumport—and, we hope, you—all month long. We’re also meeting to talk about the book in the basement of WORD bookstore in Greenpoint on October 22 at 6:30 pm.
We can’t wait to talk to you about this awesome book. You could be reading it less than a minute from … right now!
Your friends,Emily Gould and Ruth Curry
Emily Books! Emily Books! Emily Books! I’m really proud of these two people for doing this awesome thing.
Montage of Bob Odenkirk Yelling on Mr. Show
i have been waiting for this montage my entire life.
If you think there’s a better video on the internet, you’re lying to yourself.
THIS IS A GREAT THING TO WAKE UP TO.
Also, can someone (LINDSAY???) confirm that there is an episode where he yells, “YA JAG OFFFF”? Because I yell that in my head all of the time and it always sounds like Bob Odenkirk. In fact, my internal monologue is basically just Bob Odenkirk yelling.
I DESPERATELY NEEDED THIS TODAY! I’m just going to keep this tab open forever.
(Oh and while Bob might have/probably did say “jagoff” at some point, the main instance I remember was Jill Talley yelling “Take a picture, it’ll last longer, jagoff!” in “Cry of a Hungry Baby.”)

“Dignity, Dmitry,” muttered the newly installed Russian president, as his predecessor reeled off a series of bawdy jokes at the expense of his new ‘boss’.
