Mike Birbiglia’s Celebrity Golf Playlist: “Jokes, Death, Love, and Dreams” My girlfriend makes me mix CDs sometimes and she’ll mix comedy tracks with music tracks, which I don’t think is done enough. Let’s get that trend started, America!
- 1. "Comedy and Tragedy" by Johnny Carson: "I get a lot of emails from aspiring comedians and I always direct them to the On Comedy series. Even when it's not good it's great."
- 2. "Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen: "I was in Ireland with my girlfriend this summer and this track came on in a record store and I was like 'what is this?' she said, 'you don't know Springsteen's Nebraska album?' I didn't. And everyone should."
- 3. "Audience Response" by Woody Allen: "Some people don't even realize that Woody Allen was a stand-up comedian because it was overshadowed by his epic movie career. 'Sink my boats' is one of my favorite lines in comedy ever. 'One of those Picassos by Van Gogh.' Unbelievable. This track is more 'on comedy.'"
- 4. "Snails" by The Format: "I toured with The Format last summer. Nate Ruess’s voice is even better live than it is on the CD. I couldn’t believe it the first time I heard it in person. This album is perfect."
- 6. "You Got Away With It (A Tale of Two Fraternity Brothers)" by Todd Snider: "Like Dylan, Todd Snider is great lyricist and musician but is a closet comedian. This is the song that introduced me to Todd's amazing catalogue."
