Everything We Know is Still Wrong

April 20, 2010

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Like many other reviewers, I owned an LP version of Everything you Know is Wrong. I memorized it, listening to it under the influence of various substances. Even today, the words can activate neuro-receptors deep in a 54 year old brain and produce a mild buzz. And it's multi-leveled humor is still so relevant and ironic today. I am a fan of Whitley Strieber's Dreamland netcasts, but he sounds so much like Happy Harry Cox broadcasting from the nudist trailer court in 1974 that I have to laugh.

New Age, new Schmage, and a daredevil leap into a big hole

May 23, 2009

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Touching on everything you know (is wrong) about alien visitation, New Age mysticism, incidental sendups of children's public television, and the exploits of well-known hucksters like stuntman "Rebus Kniebus" who promotes his jump over The Big Ditch; including a Ewell Gibbons-style "naturalist" who recommends eating snow tires "many parts are edible" and a poison oak tea; and a smarmy Swiss travelshow host who visits an Indian reservation - actually an alien outpost "where they've been living peaceably since 1959" - on his way down the muddy Colorado.

Play this CD and learn the answer to the age-old question "is this beating and clubbing a part of the dance?"

Then write back your answer in the form of a question, and submit to someone who might not know and might just still care.

One of my favourites of their many works, wickedly funny and "seering" satire of the world and its hypocrisy, or just plain looneyness. See if you don't find echoes of these earnest falsehoods in the double-speak of rightwing politicos today, first one version of the story, then the opposite proving that everything we know/just knew is wrong.

See if you don't think so too. A very coherent, if dated, storyline with all the best elements of Firesign, except musical numbers.

Or, conversely, everything I know is wrong!

Classic Firesignology

January 3, 2014

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

One of the very best comedy albums of all time. The Theater lampoons new agers, UFO conspiracy theorists, the media, and the military hilariously. Not only is the main plot unforgettable humor, but the sub-plots are also great. Do yourself a favor and memorize these skits.

absolutely insane, in a good way

July 25, 2012

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

this is a marvelous piece of audio art. while the highly refined judgments of FT critics may quibble over relative album rankings, the rest of us can enjoy the scathingly precise yet cheerful skewering of modern media that is the heart of the performance. paranoid rumor, incoherent phone messages, newspaper reports, audiotapes, new age superstitions, paranormal research, advertising for beer and carpets, travelogs, military training, live reporting and inane newscasting of extreme motorcycle stunts and an end of days marching band parade in attractive mouseblue uniforms -- all are woven around happy harry cox's trailerpark new age business and his mission to contact the aliens who may or may not be responsible for the "the comet" and the big hole it has created in the desert. and what secret is trailer park manager art holeflaffer trying to reveal?

listeners today may not recognize the parody of howard cosell in the sarcastic jibes of reporter pat hatt, but that doesn't matter: each type of media voice mocked in this performance lives on in some corner of contemporary media. and that is really the comedic basis of the album: uncertainty about what we know, and how we know it, is still served up to us by mirthless and dimwitted talking heads; nothing has changed there. and even when there is a mystery as uncanny as a comet crashing to earth, life goes on, preconceptions drive behavior, and what we think we know marches us all, trusting and hopeful, into a hole in the desert. not much has changed there either.

Hugely underrated

March 21, 2009

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

This is the Rodney Dangerfield of Firesign Theatre albums--it don't get no respect. If you were to ask any ten FST fans to list the group's best albums, it's unlikely that any of them would include "Everything You Know is Wrong." Yet, to my mind, it's the one that has held up the best over time. With the possible exception of some thinly-veiled references to Carlos Castaneda's "Don Juan" books, there is nothing here that isn't as relevant or funny now as it was when the album was released.

As I've mentioned in other reviews of the FST, if you're not already a fan of this surrealist comedy group, nothing I can say here will convince you to listen to this disc. On the other hand, if you are a Firesign Freak who hasn't given this underrated effort its due, I urge you to listen to it again. You might be surprised.

If the CD wasn't so cheaply packaged, I'd give it 5 stars

January 14, 2003

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

If I could give 4.5 stars, or maybe 5 for content and 1 for packaging, I would.
This is their best record. Not quite as weird and dense as "Don't Crush That Dwarf..." (their other great recording), but more consistently funny.
The CD itself is fine, and I'm very happy it's out on CD, but it would've been nice if they'd spent a little money on a booklet that reproduces the album cover art better. It'd be nice also if they'd indexed it better, splitting the audio into 15-20 smaller tracks, instead of just two tracks, one per side of the old LP.
