No. 321 - Jordan Carlos Talks Comedy, Writing, And Booking Commercials

Oh, 2008. How I miss thee sometimes. A Colbert Christmas truly was the Greatest Gift of All as far as meaningful seasonal music goes. Any pro composer on YouTube says we have enough Christmas songs, that the concept has been done to death, and the covers of aging classics don't add anything. As for this song, though, I like the music and structure more than the sentiment, but that's okay. It's original and thoughtful. The augmented, minor 4, and major 7 chords are decorative plusses as well. I just really like this song, and it reminds me of watching Stephen's hilarious Christmas special several times over on the DVR 15 years ago. This was a fun little 7-day project start to finish, and I'm pleased w the result.

I did everything on this track except compose it. Credit to the actual musicians there. I think I'm finally starting to get somewhere with this whole sound engineering thing. I know enough to know I dont know anything, but I know more than I used to.

There Are Much Worse Things To Believe In (Cover)

Pimping for POTUS

Audiobook read by Stephen Colbert and Father John Quigley

For the first time, Pope Francis tells the story of his life as he looks back on the momentous world events that have changed history—from his earliest years during the outbreak of World War II in 1939 to the turmoil of today. 

An extraordinary personal and historical journey, Life is the story of a man and a world in dramatic change. Pope Francis recalls his life through memories and observations of the most significant occurrences of the past eight decades. The book opens with three-year-old Jorge in the kitchen with his mother in Argentina as World War II breaks out, and he goes on to witness several historic events:

        the fall of the Berlin Wall
        Videla’s coup in Argentina
        the moon landing in 1969
        and even the 1986 World Cup in which Maradona scored the unforgettable “hand of God” goal.
Here are the frank assessments and intimate insights of a pastor reflecting on the Nazi extermination of the Jews, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the 2001 terrorist attack on America and the collapse of the Twin Towers, the great economic recession of 2008, the Covid-19 pandemic, the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI, and the subsequent conclave that elected him Pontiff.

The “pope callejero” recounts these world-changing moments with the candor and compassion that distinguishes him, and offers important messages on major crises confronting us now, including social inequalities, climate change, international war, atomic weapons, racial discrimination, and the battles over social and cultural issues.
