Improv comedy show tonight at the Brody Theater!

by Wendy Shortman

The Corporate Headquarters Improv group performs every second Thursday of every month. This month, they will be introducing a new blend of improv comedy that will be even more predictable then before. Check out the Facebook event page here.

Here's a video of a previous performance. The clip is of a game where three bakers are in the process of baking while interpreting a fast-paced play list of popular songs. There's a bit of a slow start, but it does pick up around the 2:40 mark though when Outkast's "Hey Ya!" comes on. Now that's some funky bread:

Solange Knowles covering Dirty Projectors

Holy crap. This sounded cool when I first read about it but, after listening to it, Solange's cover of "Stillness is the Move" may just be my new jam. Pitchfork has it here. This what they have to say about it:
"If Solange Knowles isn't sampling Boards of Canada or getting Jay-Z and Beyoncé into Grizzly Bear, she's jamming out to Dirty Projectors. She's been bumping DP so much, in fact, that she decided to go ahead and cover the Brooklyn band's Bitte Orca standout "Stillness Is the Move", which always sounded like a monster R&B track in disguise anyway."

Thanks Pitchfork (jeeze it was hard to type those words).
