David Liebe Hart - http://artbyliebehart.com/
If you were a fan of Adult Swim's Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, then you're familiar with its signature ventriloquist/songwriter, David Liebe Hart.
Liebe Hart often popped up between sketches singing bizarre tunes about alien races, childhood memories and women. (I like to think of him as sort of a 21st century Tiny Tim.) In this fan favorite, he sings to a lovely dummy about "loving her to bits, I wanna kiss her on the lips"
Liebe Hart often toured with comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim and became a cult figure among fans. This week he released his first album with the David Liebe Hart Band, a punk group put together by collaborator Adam Papagan.
The songs here don't disappoint and touch on subjects as diverse as a weird guy in Liebe Hart's apartment building and the cast of Bewitched. (Liebe Hart, a devoted Christian Scientist, even sings some hymns set to punk music.)
If I had to pick a favorite track from the self-titled record, it might be Betty White. In the lyrics, Liebe Hart notes White has "outlived Bob Hope" and is "the funniest old lady in town"
The album is out now, as is a new exercise video starring Liebe Hart. Impose magazine has a stream of the record and a great interview with Liebe Hart and Papagan.
