Some Press

This lovely thing about little ol’ me appeared in the Boston Herald on Wednesday – thank you Jed. There were big crowds at both the Northampton and Boston shows, so we see again how getting press in these “news-papers” can actually help a guy.

And you psychologists will already know this, but there’s an interview with me (and a picture of me with my cat in my kitchen) in the current issue of Psychology Today in the section “Eccentric’s Corner.” Sheesh, you write a couple of songs about robots and monkeys and suddenly you’re eccentric. I can’t find a link to the article online anywhere, but it’s the May-June issue. The picture alone is worth buying the issue – my cat looks great.

Johnny D’s Live

Well, there were lots of audio problems during Paul and Storm’s set – I was taking a feed off the board and we had some impedance mismatch problems that made it sound horrible. As a result, all of Paul and Storms set was pretty unlistenable – I spent most of it in front of the computer trying to figure out what the problem was, and got it fixed literally just as they were taking their bows, as you’ll see. Below is them bowing, the intermission, and then my show. I am very small. Could do with a better camera I suppose. If anybody out there actually watched this as it happened, let me know how it looked and sounded for you.

[I should mention that in the video below nothing happens for about 27 minutes, then it cuts off after one and a half songs. I think my computer went to sleep. Obviously there are things I could do to improve this next time. This time: complete disaster.]

Albany Show Cancelled

Ouch! Due to various miscommunications and general misalignment of various stars and planets, there will be no JoCo and Paul and Storm show on Friday in Albany. I’m sorry to everyone who was planning on soft rocking with me, but it was a last minute thing that came together and then fell apart. Just let me know if you were affected by this and I will personally come to your house, cook you a nice dinner, and say that I am sorry.

Interview on The DL

When I was at the Aspen Comedy Festival I met Sara Schaefer, the charming and funny host of “The DL” on AOL.com, and over cheeseburgers we bitched about all the stand-up comics. She was very kind to invite me to do an interview and play a couple of songs in their studio – which was, like, a real studio and everything. I’ve embedded the interview below, but you can also follow this link if you’d like to see the performances, which are not bad actually. I am very sensitive, as you will see when I look through the camera into your eyes…
