Ivor Cutler - An Elpee And Two Epees 1959-1961 2005 (Scotland)

On: Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Ivor Cutler
Birth name
Glasgow, Scotland
  Jan 15 1923 - Mar 03 2006 age 83

Ivor Cutler's very earliest work was very hard to find in the decades after it was first issued. This compilation does an exemplary job of restoring it to wide availability, its 28 tracks combining everything from the 1961 LP Who Tore Your Trousers?, the 1959 EP Ivor Cutler of Y'Hup, and the 1961 EP Get Away from the Wall. Cutler's material would become more outrageously surreal on later recordings, perhaps, but these efforts are very much in step with the style for which he's beloved. With almost equal doses of spoken word and warbly singing with harmonium, these pieces take gentle pokes that subtly transform everyday experiences into something nearly surreal. It might be too gentle and subtle for those who like their comedy brash, or for Americans not attuned to his very British brand of humor. Still, it's easy to hear elements that the likes of the Bonzo Dog Band and Monty Python would take to more vivid (and more internationally accessible) extremes. And if it's not often laugh-out-loud funny, or too musically diverse, there's plenty of weird wordplay to generate amusement, such as his ode to a "Muscular Tree" and "Stick Out Your Chest," whose exhortative lyrics are totally undercut by Cutler's knowingly silly tone. - AMG
Ivor Cutler plays "11 musical instruments including the harmonium, guitar, recorder, bamboo flute and 6 pianos". He has written 38 songs that might be described as a combination of Franz Kafka and the Goons.

If there's one thing better than a comedy recording from the early 80's, it's a Christian comedy recording from the early 80's. These guys are wild! Their hilarious send-up of Leave it to Beaver called "Leave it to Squirrellie" is a riot! Eddie sure doesn't want Beaver–I mean Squirrellie–to paint the church! But hey, what else is he going to do when he isn't busy praying for Wally?
In the game show spoof "People Say the Darndest Things," they accuse contestants of taking the lord's name in vain during private moments and then read Bible verses telling them how they've gone against god. Luckily, by repenting, they can wipe their slate clean! Phew, that was a close one!
They also think television is a time waster and is only watched by assholes! Which seems to be a strange position for an evangelical operation to take, but hey, that's Jesus for you. Always with the smooth talk. -Sly Records

Billy Connolly is fun and to the point, touching on some sensitive subject... not everyone's cup of tea, but if you like your humor like this look no more he will make you laugh. For myself, I love his twisted wit and the odd way he looks at life in general.... funny, a little risky, welcome to Billy Connolly and still a great Scotsman. Hope you enjoy! -iTunes

  • I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.
  • Marriage is a wonderful institution. But who wants to live in an institution?
  • I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.
  • I started smoking as soon as I went on the stage. I'd make cigars out of the Morning World when I was a kid. Eventually I smoked Havanas. A cigar makers' organization once said that I was the most famous cigar smoker in the world. I don't know if that's true, but once while visiting Havana, I went to a cigar factory. There were four hundred people there rolling cigars, and when they saw me, they all stood up and applauded.
  • Because we were a kid act, we traveled at half-fare, despite the fact that we were all around 20. Minnie insisted we were 13. "That kid of yours is in the dining car smoking a cigar", the conductor told her. "And another one is in the washroom shaving". Minnie shook her head sadly. "They grow so fast . . . "
  • You're only as young as the woman you feel.
  • If you want to see a comic strip, you should see me in the shower.
  • Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.
  • I drink to make other people interesting.
  • Behind every successful man stands a woman. And behind her stands his wife.
  • I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. 
  • From the moment I picked your book up until I put it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.
  • A moose is an animal with horns on the front of his head and a hunting lodge wall on the back of it.
  • People are most likely to listen to reason when in bed.
  • (after viewing Samson and Delilah (1949) starring Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature) Well, there`s just one problem. No picture can hold my interest where the leading man`s tits are bigger than the leading lady's.
  • Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse.
  • (on Bob Hope) Hope? Hope is not a comedian. He just translates what others write for him.
  • Jerry Lewis hasn't made me laugh since he left Dean Martin.
  • (On Charles Chaplin): The greatest compliment I ever got was from Chaplin. He came up to me and said "I wish I could talk like you on the screen." I said "I think you're doing alright." He had made $50 million by that point. He was the best comedian we ever had.
  • A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
  • From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.
  • Go, and never darken my towels again.
  • I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.
  • Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.
  • Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
  • I never forget a face, but in your case I`ll be glad to make an exception.
  • Quote me as saying I was misquoted.
  • Women should be obscene and not heard.
  • I don't have a photograph, but you can have my footprints. They're upstairs in my socks.
  • (on Margaret Dumont) She was a wonderful woman. She was the same off the stage as she was on it -- always the stuffy, dignified matron. And the funny thing about her was she never understood the jokes. At the end of Duck Soup (1933) Margaret says to me, "What are you doing. Rufus?". And I say, "I am fighting for your honor, which is more than you ever did." Later she asked me what I meant by that. 
  • Humor is reason gone mad.

Apr 24 1914 - Sep 05 2001 age 87(2001-09-05)(1914-04-24) -

Justin Wilson didn't set out to make his mark in public life as a comedian. In fact, he referred to himself as a "humorist." Being a comedian is just a way to make a living. Being a humorist is a lifestyle. It's true. Justin could find something funny in just about anything. Over the years, that fact kept him busy as a book writer, human relations instructor, after-dinner speaker, political activist and TV chef until his death in 2001. So, treat yourself to a rare spectacle and join Justin Wilson as he recalls some of his most humorous adventures shared with his colorful Cajun friends of Louisiana
