THE 404 SPECIAL - PROGRAMME 13 - TRACKS

Show #13 is most definitely unlucky for some, including certain members of the legal profession, chavs, anyone who's appeared on the current series of BBC1's Cowboy Trap, professional careless drivers, and certain celebrities, as we focus on some of the many individuals most loathed by members of polite society.

Don't shoot the messenger, though - blame the following artistes:

STEVE NEWMAN & FRIENDS Lullaby for Lawyers
NICE PETER 50 Cent is a Pussy
CARLA ULBRICH National Asshole Directory
PAUL & STORM Barry Bonds Press Conference: The Musical
JAY FOREMAN Moon Chavs
AUTOMATIC PILOT Derelict in My Doorway
THE LEGENDARY TEN SECONDS Jerry Builders
THE VOLUME BROTHERS White Van Man
TONY FORTE That’s Just the Fucking Way it is
CHUB CREEK MUSIC Cow
DISLOCATED BONER Country Club Thug
TOM SMITH Still a Nerd

Who or what do you find most intolerable these days? Why not leave us a comment and we'll see if we can find a song about them / it for a future edition of The 404 Special. Vent your spleens by all means...but do be nice about it.

THE KILLER KONA BUDS Vagina
BOB RICCI Obsessed

THE 404 SPECIAL - PROGRAMME 11 - TRACKS

Warning: This week's 404 Special is filthy and most certainly Not Suitable for the Workplace. (Unless you happen to spend your working hours in a sex shop, brothel, or clip joint, that is. It should be OK to listen to the show in any of those places, as long as you check with your boss, madam, pimp, clients, and colleagues first. A little courtesy always goes a long way...and usually results in a larger tip.)

Keeping it up for over half an hour of sheer pleasure this week are:

THE LIMEYBIRDS Hey Nonny
NICE PETER If You Really Love Me

All legs akimbo are:

MONEYSHOT COSMONAUTS I Feel Happy
AIRFERG Why Don’t Hookers Take Food Stamps?
BILL BATES Mars Bar Party
TOM SMITH Pygmalion 2.0
PROJECT SISYPHUS When I See Your Face

And totally full of spunk to give you the most satisfactory climax in podcasting history:

CARL HATMAKER Britney’s Bald As A Cue Ball But I’d Still Do Her
PAUL & STORM The Captain’s Wife’s Lament

Links to all performers are in the right-hand gutter of this blog. (And possibly in that telephone box around the corner from your home too.)

ATTENTION: SUBSCRIBERS IN NYC

Here's news of a couple of shows happening in the Big Apple this month that we here at 404 Funny would definitely go and see if we weren't 3,400 miles away.

First off, our good friends Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting have gone and booked another hideously expensive run at the Edinburgh Fringe in August without the merest thought as to how they're going to afford it.

So, if you're in NYC, please help them out by going along to see them at 2010 Sketchfest NYC! at the Upright Citizens Brigade, 307 W. 26th Street, on Thursday June 10th at 11pm.

Alternatively, why not try Mr and Mrs Bruce Vain’s Free Booze & Comedy Hour at the Shetler Theatre on the 12th Floor (!) of 244 W 54th St., which is between 7th & 8th Avenues, this Saturday, June 12th, at 9.30pm. Tickets for the latter show can be had for $8 online from http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/114051 (the booze may be free but the comedy ain't, my friends).

If you're in Cincinnati or Washington DC, please visit the SBJM website for details of shows in late June and throughout July.

And if you can't make it to one of the above shows, you could always donate a dollar or five to their fighting fund here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sbjm/skinny-bitch-jesus-meeting-goes-to-edinburgh. (Gosh, we wish we had friends who gave us that sort of money.)

ALSO...

Liam McEneaney's weekly show Tell Your Friends! has become one of NYC's most talked-about comedy nights - and now it's being made into a movie! Eeek!!
