The Greatest Show on Earth:
Liam Lynch on The Screen Savers

Liam Lynch, brother to my buddy Jen and creator of Sifl and Olly and the recently released Fake Songs LP, was a featued guest on the greatest nerd-driven television program ever known: The Screen Savers this past week. I watch this show religiously. I can’t believe they interviewed Liam. That speaks as much to how cool a show it is, as to how nerdy a rock star Liam is.

Here’s an intro quote from the Screen Savers home page:

Liam Lynch, who’ll appear on Friday’s show, is not only the genius behind the hit song “United States of Whatever” and the wonderfully twisted MTV sock-puppet show Sifl and Olly. He also works as a software design consultant testing new technologies, loves robotics, and has released his own albums and DVDs on his 111 Productions label. Lynch’s work and achievements don’t stop there. He’s studied under Paul McCartney, recorded with Ringo Starr, written comedy for TV and film, and is writing and directing the upcoming Tenacious D movie.

If you don’t have Liam’s “Fake Songs” record, get it. If you’re not familiar with Sifl and Olly, become so. And if you’re not quite sure who Tenacious D, Jack Black, Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr are, stop visiting my web page.
