Buscemi's hat is no joke.
Welcome Back, Mr. Buscemi

1. This is your first album recording, but you've already recorded two
DVD's. You think people will miss out on the full audiovisual Buscemi
experience?
Don't miss Robert's performance at 8 PM tonight at the Lincoln Lodge. Tickets available at www.thelincolnlodge.com.
I've actually had to adapt a few jokes to the audio format. Like at one point I'm bobbing my head up and down in a story, and I now have to say "I bob my head up and down" so listeners can visualize it. But it's an interesting challenge. I pack words up densely as hell, so I'm kind of happy in a way to not have my beauty distract from my poetry on the CD.
2. Lincoln Lodge was one of your "home" clubs here in Chicago. Does recording there have a special meaning for you?
Oh absolutely it does. The Lodge is made for me--goofy and retro, but very dippy and Vaudeville. I love the Lodge. I kind of made my name and defined my character there, and I just love how cheerful it is, and the little butterflies of pleasure I get behind their curtain before I shake the host's hand and take the stage. The whole atmosphere lends itself to slaphappy surrealism, which is what I peddle.
3. You are known for your prodigious vernacular. Can you give me one
four-syllable and one one-syllable word describing your feelings about
the recording tonight?
Absofruitly not!
