In what appears to be evolving into an ailment-off between Storm and myself, I’ve been hobbled by what turns out to be a lumbar strain. I’m currently feeling much better, thanks; and it should be gone in 3-5 days with rest, cold & heat treatment, incessant bitching and moaning and demands for more crackers and […]

Not to be Outdone by Storm’s Left Arm, Paul’s Lower Back Jumps Into the Fray

Update: Home Remedy
December 14, 2007 – 9:53 pm
No answers yet for the arm. Doc said it’s likely a torn tendon or muscle. I’m rooting for the torn muscle. I’ve read that’s how muscle is normally formed. Okay, maybe not by popping large masses of them in half, but still it seems like more of a "rehab" scenario than a "scalpel" situation (sadly, […]
Neil Gaiman Willing To Be Seen With Us In Public
December 8, 2007 – 1:30 am
Comics/fantasy writer Neil Gaiman came to our show in Minneapolis on Thursday. (Technically, he came to Jonathan’s show, and we just happened to be there as well) He was friendly, gracious, and as cool as you could want him to be. Plus, he said nice things about us on his blog afterwards. (If he hadn’t, […]
Bridesmaids Again, But At Least Now We Have a Nice Fuschia Dress
December 5, 2007 – 11:10 am
We recently found out we were finalists in the 2007 USA Songwriting Competition in the "Comedy/Novelty" category for our song "A Better Version of You". (The Da Vinci’s Notebook song "Liposuction" won the category in 2004). Unfortunately, we didn’t win the category; songwriter Eric Colville won for his song "Doer’s Lament". Congratulations to him. I […]
E-Junkie.com

As of this morning, we’ve switched to a new host to handle all of our music download purchases. We’ve heard very good things about our new provider, e-junkie.com: they’re very responsive to tech support questions, and, truth be told, they’re less expensive than our previous host. There shouldn’t be any real difference on your end–the […]
Heading For the Snow
December 1, 2007 – 11:01 am
Not a ton of touring this month–—but we’ve packed it all into a week’s time span. So if you’re in the neighborhood, give yourself the gift of Paul & Storm this holiday season. BONUS: spending the first night of Hanukkah in Wisconsin. Here come the shows: 12/4 – The Bob and Tom Show check your […]
Goin’ South…
November 5, 2007 – 8:46 pm
Thanks to everyone in the middle of nowhere Grand Island, NE last Friday for one of our most memorable shows in a long time–a really rowdy crowd, with snack cakes, panties and a wedding ring (not one of ours) flying through the air. We have heard your cries, and we understand; so this week, we […]
My Fantastic Plastic Girl

It would seem that news is, in fact, cyclical. The Associated Press reports that one Craig McCullough was arrested in Cedar Rapids, IA last Wednesday, after allegedly being found in an office building restroom lying next to an inflatable, anatomically correct doll with his pants down. The man has a criminal record that includes a […]
Quad Cities

This weekend, we wing straight back to Iowa (which treated us so nicely last weekend) for a series of shows at Penguins Comedy Club in Bettendorf. While we’ve never been able to quite figure out the relationship between penguins and comedy–they’re not know for their standup or improv abilities, and their observations on air travel […]
Lame Monster Party

In honor of Halloween, we feature our attempt from last year to join the Holiday-themed Novelty Song Hall of Fame. Current inductees include “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” and “What Can You Get a Wookie for Christmas (When He Already Owns a Comb)?”‘ but the undisputed champion of all holiday-themed novelty songs is […]
