Songs Pointed & Pointless CD

Image: Songs Pointed & Pointless

You know him from the Simpsons Movie… You saw him on stage at the Live Earth Concert as part of Spinal Tap and now you can sing along with Harry Shearer in 'Songs Pointed and Pointless' – a satirical romp through a world gone mad as a hatter.

Stepping out from the collaboration with his Spinal Tap / Mighty Wind mates, Christopher Guest and Michael McKean, Harry Shearer writes and performs a baker's dozen of songs notable for their humor as well as their musicality. Boasting some of the best musicians in LA and New Orleans, 'Songs' takes on George W. Bush on energy ("Addicted to Oil"), Michael Jackson ("Looking for a Sugar Daddy"), and the administration on "enhanced interrogation techniques", ("Waterboardin', USA"). There's also a Folksmen song ("Corn Wine") and a big-band salute to the Big Apple ("New York Is My Lady"). Guests include McKean, Guest, and Judith Owen. Recorded in Los Angeles and New Orleans.

Dropping Anchors CD

Image: Dropping Anchors

This comedy album boasts a satirical salute and final farewell to the era of the TV news anchor. Koppel, Rather, Jennings, Brokaw, Aaron Brown, even Barbara Walters have all left the anchor chair in the past few months. On "Dropping Anchors", satirist and voice-man extraordinaire Harry Shearer pays them the tribute they deserve. In savagely incisive, satirical strokes, he portrays Koppel's agonies at ABC, Rather's dialogues with colleagues dead and alive, Brokaw's new projects - including a CD of "Songs In The Key Of L" - , and Walters' impassioned denial that she's had 82 facelifts. Shearer writes and performs all the comedy and music, much of it based on material from his nationally (and internationally) syndicated weekly radio hour, "Le Show", but adapted, re-recorded, and remastered specifically for this CD.
