Don't
Leave Them Alone In the Studio
Though many people believe 'A Cappella' is just a fancy way
of saying that a band can't afford instruments, Da
Vinci’s Notebook is out to prove them wrong. Since
storming the BOB&TOM Show scene with their huge hit Enormous
Penis back in 2001, DVN has shown you don't need musical
instrument accompaniment to provide high quality entertainment.
Many of their tunes like Title of the
Song (a boy band tribute), Enormous
Penis (a male member tribute) and Internet
Porn (you can figure this one out) are among the most
requested songs in the B&T library. Though very popular
among our listeners, DVN has been recognized for their talent
by critics as well. They've released three albums, the most
recent of which, Brontosaurus,
has earned them Artist of the Year, Best A Cappella Group and
Best A Cappella Recording awards. Don't call Paul, Storm, Richard
& Bernie a Barbershop Quartet... but do call them. At home
if possible. If you ever have the chance to see them perform
live, make sure you do. And If you can stop looking at porn
long enough, check out these DVN selections on the DVN
audio page.

The New Kid in Comedy
In the late 80’s and early 90’s, Christopher
'Kid' Reid was better known as the tall-haired half of the
rap duo Kid-N-Play. Along with
his partner Play, Kid starred in the hit comedy films House
Party (1-3) and Class Act. Since those days of loud colored
clothing and big hair, the "Kid" has switched his
act from rap to standup comedy and is currently touring the
country with his new comedy buddy, Billy D. Washington.

A Cunning
Array of Stunts
Often overlooked in action packed movies are
the guys and gals who make it all happen. The stars may get all
the screen time, but it's the stuntmen and women that put their
lives on the line to bring you bodies flying off of buildings,
cars flipping down the highway, and 15 minute fight scenes where
someone always catches on fire. Now these selfless (or crazy)
thrill seekers will get the credit they deserve at the third annual
World
Stunt Awards. Renowned actor Dennis
Hopper will host this year’s awards.
Hopper made a name for himself early in life, but really hit it
big with his film Easy Rider.
Hopper was also critically acclaimed for his role as the drunken
father, Shooter, in Hoosiers,
and as a doped out war photographer in Apocalypse
Now. The World Stunt Awards airs June
9th on the USA
Network. |

And Now, A Huge Midget
Comedian
Kirk Noland is six feet four inches tall and weighs almost
220 lbs, but when you see him perform on stage, you’d be
convinced you were watching a midget gunfighter. We’re
not sure how he does it, but according to his bio, it is really
something to see. His performance is a unique experience, and
people come back again and again to see what Kirk, as the midget,
will do next. Known for making prank phone calls live on stage
and staging fights with audience members, we look forward to
experiencing Kirk for the first time. We'll keep you posted.

Make Us Laugh,
You’re the Piano Man!
Billy
D. Washington’s skills as a pianist are so great that
many people come up to him after his shows and ask “man
what are you doin’ here?” The reason he chooses to
perform in comedy clubs instead of concert halls is because he’s
just as good at writing and telling jokes as he is serenading
an audience. Washington’s impressive resume of television
appearances proves that it pays to be multi-talented. His comedy
album entitiled "What Are You Laughing At" is available
online. Buy
Billy's album!
FACTOID
– Aretha Franklin enjoyed Billy D. Washington’s act
so much the first time he opened for her that she asked him to
open her shows during her nation wide tour. |

Abra-Cadaver
Ever wondered what happens after you die? If
you're asking about your soul, we haven’t got a clue, but
if its your earthly remains you’re curious about, Mary
Roach has written the perfect book for
you. Stiff:
The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers
takes a look at the lighter side of being dead, and all the fun
your body can have once you’ve expired. You could take part
in organ transplants, be a crash test dummy, have your face practiced
on by plastic surgeons, or even wind up in an order of Chinese
dumplings. And for those wanting to learn even more, there are
chapters on decay, cannibalism, and methods of body disposal in
the book as well. When not concentrating on cadavers, Mary Roach
is a columnist for Reader’s
Digest and
Salon Magazine. |

Blue Grass & Face Paint
When listening to classic rock, how many times have you thought
to yourself, "I wonder what this song would sound like
with a touch of country twang, and maybe a little banjo?"
If you're like most people, that thought has never crossed your
mind. But the boys of Hayseed
Dixie knew that was exactly what they wanted to find out.
On their first album A
Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC, the
band covered and converted classic AC/DC hits into their own
"Hillbilly" style. Now the boys have set their sights
on another legendary band, the tongue wagging, face-painted
rock group, KISS.
Finally, with their newest album Kiss
My Grass: A Hillbilly Tribute to KISS, you can hear songs
such as Rock & Roll All Night,
Lick it Up, and
Detroit Rock City the way they were
meant to be heard... as played on a fiddle.

The
Lighter Side of Sports Writing
You help a guy sell thousands of books and all of a sudden he’s
your best friend. Normally we’d be a little suspicious
of someone like this, but we enjoy Bill
Scheft’s phone calls too much
to think any thing of it. Besides, if a novel is as good as
The
Ringer, it deserves to be flying off bookshelves. Scheft
is an accomplished comedic writer who, when not working on his
second novel, is a monologue writer for the Late
Show w/ David Letterman, and also has extremely funny
weekly column in Sports Illustrated.
FACTOID
– Bill Scheft was a guest host on the BOB&TOM show
the week Bob went on his now infamous Nudie Vacation.
