I’m usually a very punctual person…when my life isn’t a complete wreck. Maybe I should spend 2,000 words on that. Maybe not!!
Here it is…the fifth of this week’s five MP3’s. And what a way to ring in the weekend! TGIF! I guess this could be considered “the call that started it all.” Committed to tape in January of 2001, an innocent time long before our lives were punctuated by self-released prank call CD’s, Bleachy’s, a generous and patient record label, chaotic fame, lawyers, lawsuits, and tragically…human parvo.
The term and title, “Just Farr a Laugh” and the series’ loose Jamie Farr theme both originated with this call. Read the Matablog entry, then listen. And listen again. And again.
This link is also a great place to catch up on all of the MP3 madness, and learn a few new things about Earles and Jensen. You can pre-order, gaze at some amazing pics and drawings, and get a little bit of the back story.
Spread the word. Please. I beg of you…please spread the word.

Hey, it’s 4 AM somewhere!! Earles and Jensen have returned with that old chestnut (crutch): The Pop-Cultural Clusterf*ck.
A tribute to one of music journalism’s great wrong turns, “Kurt Loder Has Lost His Mind” will beat you senseless with references that fall somewhere between “ridiculous” and “stupid.” But that’s the beauty here, folks.
“Kurt Loder Has Lost His Mind” - The life-changing download.
It’s my suggestion that you hover over the ‘pause’ button…for ease of note taking.
“Kurt Loder Has Lost His Mind” will be on CD 2 of Earles and Jensen Present…Just Farr A Laugh Vol 1 & 2 (The Greatest Prank Phone Calls Ever!).
Release Date: April 22nd 2008, on Matador Records.
Can’t wait?
Pre-Order Now!

Later today, I will post some non-JFAL content. I promise. I know that you wait with baited breath.
But…
To refresh your memory, Earles and Jensen + Matador Records will be releasing one brand new MP3 each day this week. They hit the scene between 12p and 1p, CST. For those readers with a little case of flat-earth coastal elitism, the Central Time Zone does exist.
Today’s call is the sequel to yesterday’s, so I invite you to listen to them in order. Look how easy we’ve made that process…
Follow the easy instructions in this Matablog entry.
Whereas we previously displayed our revisionist history of The Blues, today we take a dive into relationship issues. The calls are at considerable variance, but related through storyline. Earles and Jensen can solve any problem as long as it belongs to someone else.
Want all of the MP3’s? Go here.
Look out for page-gobbling Earles and Jensen / Just Farr A Laugh features in every popular glossy magazine!
