How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?

A good question, but the Firesign Theatre won't give you the answer if you listen to this, their second full-length LP of marijuana-addled comedy from 1969. While I personally prefer Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers (phrases from which have long been part of my daily lexicon -- "Raw, raw, raw!") this one might be a better starting point for the uninitiated, as it's slightly more concise than the aforementioned sprawling masterpiece and not quite as bleak as their dark-hued debut Waiting For The Electrician Or Someone Like Him. Thanks to Holy Goof (a site I just discovered last night that appears to be doing some very good works indeed), HCYBI2PAOWYNAAA (as we fans like to abbreviate it) can be easily downloaded and enjoyed, preferably with the lights off, headphones on and bong close at hand. Disclaimer: the rampant Beatles references on side two might have been hip back in the day, but in this century (hell, by the time I first heard this recd back in 1983) they sound like your lame old pop trying to crack wise with the youngsters ... please overlook this imperfection and focus on Firesign's rapid-fire wordplay, eviscerting cultural satire and healthy sense of the absurd.
