General Interest An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer If this album invokes a feeling of dj vu, then there is a simple explanation - the album An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer is a live recording of the studio album More Of Tom Lehrer (also available on Hallmark - 707932). Everything is the exactly the same - identical tracks laid out in exactly the same running order. Whether Tom had hit a creative wall or merely wished to exploit the songs for all they were worth is not recorded, but Tom would do exactly the same again with Revisited - a live version of the songs that originally appeared on the 1953 album Songs By Tom Lehrer. . "If, after hearing my songs," Lehrer says in this disc's liner notes, "just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while." Makes him sound like a modern punk, eh Not so, though. Lehrer, ever the king of jolly vitriol, recorded these still potent parodies in the 1950s--and the best of them, "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", "The Masochism Tango", and "The Elements" (which joins science with Gilbert & Sullivan) remain both nasty and striking. Musically, Lehrer comes across like a demented Cole Porter, wrapping sophisticated, showy tunes around his acerbic jokes. Lyrically, he's a clear forebear to folks like Phil Ochs and Barry Crimmins, who also cloak their commentary in comedy. --Michael Ruby Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
