Margaret was on KTLA this morning, performing a song from her new album of comedy music, Cho Dependent. “Lice” was co-written by Ben Lee, and she performed it this morning with Garrison Starr and Jack Rudy, who both appear on Cho Dependent.

August 31st, 2010Review of the Cho Dependent Tour – Vancouver
August 30th, 2010Margaret Cho’s focus on toilet parts radiantly funny
by Adrian Mack
The Vancouver Straight
Margaret Cho’s performance at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Saturday was so bracingly filthy that you wondered if people were cheering for the punch lines or the sheer nastiness of it all.
Either way, it was a good night for the veteran comedian, who’s been hitting the road to support her first album of music, Cho Dependent.
Cho gave us three numbers between all the standup, with a Carl Newman cowrite called “Your Dick” being the best, and a rap song called “My Puss”—delivered in her mom’s exaggerated accent—easily the most scabrous. Along with her mother’s puss, Cho’s spoken material was strongly focused on her own toilet parts, most memorably in the first couple minutes of the show, when she explained why she farts a “fine mist” of extra virgin olive oil these days.
We were all pretty intimate with Cho’s ass by the end of the night. She spoke at length about her “shy hole”, her newfound taste for anal, and her desire to co-opt the end-to-end gay strategy known as “the spit roast”. “But I’m Korean,” she frowned, “and we like barbecue.”
There were digressions into cock, California’s Prop 8, queefs, white people, geriatric strippers, sperm donors, sexting her mom by accident, cock, cock, more cock, and—being that this was Vancouver—her passion for weed. “Last time I was here,” she said, “I got so fucking stoned that I bought $5,000 worth of yoga gear.”
One of her best bits was about living as a bisexual Asian in super-white Peachtree City, Georgia, for the half of the year she spends shooting Drop Dead Diva. “It’s weird when your apartment is the ghetto, the gay neighbourhood, and Chinatown,” she said. “It’s a lot of pressure.”
Cho scored a lot of points off of stereotypes, noting that “the only time Koreans show emotion is when someone either dies or shoplifts”, or launching into ludicrously broad (and gut-busting) caricatures of her own family. It’s not exactly fresh, but Cho is too smooth and radiantly funny for anybody to care, and it’s odd how she manages to be so cheerfully gross without really coming off as terribly offensive, even when she’s fantasizing about sleep-raping a guy and sucking up his junk “like a jello shot”.
More to the point, it’s just nice to have somebody advocating for those of us who combine a pornographic imagination with simple ambitions. There probably wasn’t anybody in the theatre who didn’t relate when Cho said, “You know, I’m 41, and my goal in life is to just keep getting fucked.”
Review of Cho Dependent Tour – Portland
August 27th, 2010Comedy review: Margaret Cho adds maturity — and musical comedy — to stand-up act in Portland
by Lee Williams
The Oregonian
She may be making her first foray into musical comedy, but Margaret Cho already knows how to sell a song.
And launch a new tour.
Cho kicked off her latest national concert tour, “Cho Dependent,” to a nearly sold-out crowd at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on Thursday night.
This week she also released the “Cho Dependent” companion album, a collection of ditties Cho co-composed with artists ranging from musicians Tegan and Sara and Ani DiFranco to fellow comic Tommy Chong.
Working the stage in micro-mini denim shorts and a sleeveless top that exposed her recent tapestry of tattoos (she has said they now cover 20 percent of her body), Cho sprinkled performances of four songs throughout her hundred-minute show, hitting their humorous notes with some surprising vocal chops and musical craftsmanship.
“I’m Sorry,” a grisly little alt-country twanger was even funnier and grislier after Cho recounted the song’s inspiration: She’d Google’d an old flame she wanted to rekindle, only to find out he’d murdered his wife. (Watch the “I’m Sorry” video.)
An electro-rap tune delivered as a duet with Cho’s opening act John Roberts, and a ballad she sang while strumming acoustic guitar, hit their marks as well. Like many songs on the album, their titles can’t be said here.
But it was halfway through her set, during a torch song dedicated to male genitalia, when Cho got some nifty, additional back-up.
The curtain behind her lifted revealing the Portland Gay Men’s Chorus, a surprising, tuxedoed choral accompaniment that seemed both sweet and entirely appropriate to the number, and to her show. Cho has long been a spokesperson for gay and lesbian issues.
The meat and potatoes of her concerts is still her stand-up. The material, her paced delivery, and Cho’s amazing facial contortions, were where she shined most on Thursday.
Unlike during her election-year tours, politics took a bit of a back seat, though Cho got in a few barbs about California’s Proposition 8
Her biggest riffs remained current events, body image and gay culture. Cho’s been trying to make headway at her gym in Peachtree City, Ga., she explained, the Atlanta suburb where her girl-powered Lifetime comedy “Drop Dead Diva” shoots. To the gym’s stacks of conservative Focus on Family magazines, Cho says she’s added gay reading staples The Advocate magazine and Italian Men’s Vogue.
And a huge theme was sex: procuring sex now that she’s in her 40s, as opposed to her 20s, when she said all she had to do was pretend she didn’t speak English; imagining sex during her living-assisted years; her own perils with sexting; to visiting a strip club that employs elderly strippers and serves steaks. (”What kind of wine goes with that?” she pondered.)
In other words, vintage Cho. This was the chance to see and hear an already drop-dead funny diva growing, flexing new musical muscle, and fearlessly mature.
Review of Cho Dependent Album – The Huffington Post
July 28th, 2010 Margaret Cho Is Just Plain Awesome (She’s a Friggin’ Rockstar SuperHero Bitch* on New Album Cho Dependent)
The Huffington Post

Personally I love the whole record and foresee it living on my CD player for quite some time.
-Holly Cara Price, The Huffington Post
____________________________________
Margaret Cho gave me some of her time recently to discuss the August 24th release of her new album Cho Dependent. News Flash: Girlfriend can sing, and really really well. The thirteen songs here cut across quite a few genres; hip hop, girl group, country music, rock & roll, singer-songwriter, dance-pop. Margaret enlisted a stellar group of compadres to help write and perform the tunes — Ben Lee, Tommy Chong, Tegan & Sara, Grant Lee Phillips, Ani DiFranco, Andrew Bird, Fiona Apple, Brendan Benson, Garrison Star, Patty Griffin, Jon Brion, Meghan Toohey, Diana Yanez and Kurt Hall. Rachael Yamagata also appears on a hidden Easter Egg track.
Cho had been wanting to do something like this for a long time. “I wanted to create a comedy album with really great music that would endure beyond the jokes, so the songs would have some value after the fact… something that was not just comedy music but also great music.” Admitting she needed some help in the composition department, she explained, “… I’m a musician but I am not a great composer, so I don’t really know how to put notes together. I just enlisted people I know who did do that really well and those happen to be some of the greatest musicians out there.”
Everyone she approached was interested in the project and some (Ani DiFranco, Grant Lee Phillips, John Brion) were long time friends. “It was the desire for me to do something with comedy that is more expansive and I’m really excited, I think all comedians want to be musicians and I think all musicians want to be comedians. It’s a natural desire and affection that they have for one another so this was a wonderful manifestation of that desire and it was really great.”
Personally I love the whole record and foresee it living on my CD player for quite some time. I admitted to Margaret that for me, the stand-out track (pun intended) was “Your Dick.” It recalls the best of 60’s girl group records with a lavish, glittery, dreamy Righteous Brothers-y production. The lyrics include lines like “your dick, your dick splits the wheat from the chaff, its like a giraffe – especially the neck part” and winds up to a big finish (pun intended, again). “Oh that’s a good one, it was quite a production,” Margaret told me. “That one I wrote with Karl Newman from the New Pornographers, and it was produced so beautifully by Ben Lee.”
She plans to mix live performances of the songs along with stand up comedy on a three month tour of the U.S. and Canada starting in late August. “I’m kind of into the process of deciding what it will sound like live. Ultimately I’m doing a stand up tour – I don’t want to jump out of being a stand up comedian, that would be really jarring for me so I really think it’s still comedy…Hopefully some of the people who wrote songs and performed songs with me will do it on the road.” She is quite adamant about maintaining the integrity of the recording, “… So I’ll probably do it to track or have a very small band.”
For “Baby I’m With The Band,” a track written and performed with Brendan Benson, Cho recently shot a video at Bonnaroo. She issued an open invitation to all the musicians at the festival to participate in cameos. “Quite a lot of people jumped into it. I had the Gossip in there and of course Brendan Benson, and Jack White did something and Conan O’Brien did something and OK Go was in it. We did a big thing with GWAR, who I love.”
One of the songs on the record, “I’m Sorry,” is a country ballad about a classic country music subject: murder. The tune is actually based on a true story from Cho’s life, or more accurately, her past life. “When I was very young and I was doing the television show All American Girl, I really fell in love with one of the writers on the show and he did not like me back. It was not a good thing, it was an awful situation like when you have a crush on somebody and they don’t care, and it’s horrible.” She held a torch for 17 years, one of those ‘what if” situations we all have tucked away. “I always had him somewhere in my heart, like I think when you’re really young you sometimes idealize a person and I really loved this guy. But I never thought to find him because I was sure that he was married and living in a lighthouse somewhere with five kids and super successful — I just envisioned this perfect life for him.”
When she turned 40, Cho decided she would look her old crush up and just see where he was and what he was doing. As one does. “…So I googled him and his name came up and it said American screenwriter / producer and worked on All American Girl with Margaret Cho, and in 2007 was convicted of the murder of his wife. He bludgeoned her to death and then stuffed her body in the attic of their house for a month until it had partially mummified… Finding this out I was really destroyed by it — it was a very complicated thing because, OK, it could have been me but then it couldn’t have even been me — it was so awful and I felt so bad for this woman that he killed and I felt so awful for her family.” In a catharsis of sorts, Cho decided to write a song about the pure selfishness of domestic violence, an all too common topic in country music.
Cho also noted that singers like Billie Holiday and Etta James were famed for this theme in their music, “You would consider these women very powerful people but their songs are often about dealing with domestic violence and their acquiescence to it… Sometimes the only way that we can endure some of the darkness in life is through a very dark sense of humor and so it was me trying to exercise some kind of control over what happened.” She called the song “I’m Sorry,” “…because he never said he was sorry. Because all these people do not say that they’re sorry when they commit these crimes and commit them in the name of loving somebody, it’s really just disgusting to me. So the song turned out to be very much a kind of classic murder ballad, you know, it’s a very sort of Americana staple of country music. I’m proud of the song, something that came out of it that was creative and helped me deal with the very complicated emotions that I had towards this person and this situation.”
As we spoke, Cho was in the process of wrapping up the second season of Drop Dead Diva, the hit Lifetime TV show she co-stars in with Brooke Elliott. The show has been described by creator Josh Berman as “a cross between Freaky Friday and Heaven Can Wait.” Cho plays Teri Lee, the crackerjack legal assistant to attorney Jane Bingum. Teri is about to be revealed as a private eye, confided Cho. “It’s a lot of fun.” A recent episode had her introducing her family — mother and cousin — “wonderfully played by Aaron Yoo who’s a great Korean American actor, and Emily Kuroda, who’s awesome.” The episode included a helicopter, laughs Cho, “so it was these Korean people and a helicopter – it was real M.A.S.H.”
She also enjoys spending tine in Atlanta, where the show tapes. “I have a good time here, I have a lot of friends here now, it’s my second year here… it’s different to live in the South, it’s a different feeling. Although Atlanta itself is a quite liberal, it’s a very queer city. It’s always called the San Francisco of the south, because it is quite gay, and the neighborhood that I live in is really gay.”
Cho’s home base is L.A. and she grew up in the Bay Area, where her father had a bookstore near Polk Street. “It was in the early 80’s so there was a lot of punk rock and goth, the very beginnings of goth.” And lots and lots of tattoos. “I always wanted to be tattooed,” says Cho, who now has them pretty much everywhere. “I don’t think I can get anymore because I don’t have any space. It’s hard if you’re an actor, I can’t get them on my arm anymore and I can’t get them on my legs, so I don’t know where to go.” Ed Hardy was one of the artists who did some of her early tattoos, as well as Kat Von D, Chris O’Donnell, Mike Davis, and Nathan Kostechko.
We finished up our conversation by grousing about attitudes towards gay marriage and the Gulf Oil Spill. Regarding gay marriage, Cho is at a loss. “I don’t understand why people feel that they can dictate what is equality — to me it’s so cut and dried, I don’t understand what the problem is that people have with gay marriage. I just don’t understand why this needs to be fought over because it seems so plain…. it’s very frustrating.” I asked her why she thought Americans, for the most part, seem so subdued in their anger about the oil spill. “If gays were involved people would be angry, if the ocean was trying to marry another ocean, people would be angry, but now — nobody cares. Its really not discussed, it’s a major tragedy, it’s the worst environmental tragedy in history, and so I don’t know why people are not enraged about this. I don’t get it… I talk about it a lot, in my work, I’m so furious. The best thing that we can do is discuss it and talk about it and write about it, and not let it go, because I think so much time is spent on things that don’t matter, and this is something that really really matters.”
*Note: The lyric referenced in the title of this piece, “I’m a friggin’ rockstar superhero bitch” comes from “Captain Cameltoe,” Cho’s collaboration with Ani DiFranco on Cho Dependent
Interview and Review of Cho Dependent in the Press Register
June 24th, 2010The Alchemist – Margaret Cho mixes comedy and music and the result is more than shocking
by Michael Dumas
The Press Register
BILOXI, Miss. — It just got even harder to stereotype Margaret Cho.
For two decades, the comedienne has stood on stage, screen and page, spouting some of the raunchiest, wittiest and most socially charged humor around. Her skin is a map of tattoo art and you never know what sort of fashion she’ll be wearing, or for that matter, designing.
Cho even weaves stereotypes into her comedy, using a stark, gravelly voice and facial contortions to produce caricatures of her Korean mother so personal, it would almost shame us to laugh if we didn’t hear her describing situations that could have come out of the Southern Sass Handbook.
And now, years after her first primetime sitcom was cancelled by ABC and days after her newest com-dram on Lifetime, “Drop Dead Diva,” began its second season, Cho is coming to Biloxi in support of … a comedy rock album?
It shouldn’t be as surprising as it sounds. After all, Cho describes herself as an “intense music geek” and, during a recent phone interview, admitted a passionate love for seminal parodist Weird Al Yankovic.
“He’s my all-time favorite,” Cho said in the somewhat sweet, thoughtful tone that is leagues from the crescendos of her on-stage persona. “I love what he does and I wanted to do songs that matched his scale of production but at the same time were not song parodies.”
That’s how “Cho Dependent,” to be released on Aug. 24, came to be.
That’s not to say her show at 8 p.m. Saturday at Hard Rock Live will be one big concert. Cho says her act is still primarily stand up, only now infused with lyrics she wrote, combined with melodies she elicited from a mélange of musician friends including Grant Lee Phillips, The Raconteurs’ Brendan Benson and Ani DiFranco.
“(The album) was about finding these great collaborations with people I really love,” she said.
Even with a striking diversity and production value to the 14 tracks on the album, the result is pure Cho.
“Cho Dependent” starts off with an “Intervention” and ends with a send-up of her vagina, pausing in-between to get high with Tommy Chong, lambaste her enemies and former lovers and sing a languid R&B ode to male genitalia.
The album succeeds along the lines of Yankovic’s and those of Cho’s other contemporaries — like Tenacious D and the Bloodhound Gang — with first-rate music combined with laugh lines worthy of a spit take via milk, beer or an internal organ.
Take, for example, the raucous near-country tune “Eat Sh— and Die” with Grant Lee Phillips, who co-founded the band Grant Lee Buffalo in the ’90s. It’s almost like Weird Al doing Jeff Tweedy, except there’s only one parody on “Cho Dependent.” She calls that song, “My Puss,” a “perfect cover” and the only officially sanctioned parody of Mickey Avalon’s “My D—ck.”
No matter how good the sound gets, Cho still considers what she’s doing to be in the medium of stand-up comedy. It’s just that she’s driven to evolve her skill set to the absolute brim.
“To me, it’s still about jokes,” she said. “There’s a long-standing tradition of guitar comics (and) I always had a great respect for that.”
Like any great artist, Cho uses her work as a catharsis for her fear, frustration and pain, and even when all three imbue one piece, the result can shed a hilarious light on an otherwise dismal darkness.
The song “I’m Sorry,” co-written with Andrew Bird, sums this up best, having gestated from a shocking revelation in Cho’s life.
A “country murder ballad” set to perky slide and electric guitar, the track was two decades in the making, the length of a particular love Cho had for a man who did not share her feelings. She avoided looking him up for fear she would discover his blissful happiness, but finally broke down and checked his Wikipedia page one day after turning 40.
“It said in 2007 he was convicted of the murder of his wife,” Cho said. “He had bludgeoned her to death and then stuffed her body in the attic and left it there for a month until it had partially mummified.”
That’s heady stuff to process, but it’s no surprise considering Cho’s catalog. Her entire career, she’s been an outspoken proponent of human rights — most notably women’s rights and those of gays and lesbians — and wields a sharp political commentary, all of which are sure to emerge during Saturday night’s show.
Cho said her material will also include the 800-pound sticky gorilla sitting on the Gulf Coast.
“I think it’s such an important thing to focus our attention on,” Cho said of the oil spill. “It’s horrific, and it’s not really talked about that much in the press, how terrible it really is.”
And yet, considering how much material the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is feeding comics around the world, Cho sees the inclusion of it in her act as therapeutic, as well. In fact, she said she plans on donating an as-yet-unknown portion of the proceeds from her tour to the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport.
“Through laughter, there should be some way of coping with whatever’s going on,” she said.
“It is kind of an alchemy, when you can actually turn something that’s very tragic into something that is funny. It’s not making fun of it, but finding a way to find the light in it, which is I think what great comedians do, and what I try to do.”
Interview with Sinister Girlz
June 23rd, 2010Cho Dependent: An Exclusive Interview with Margaret Cho
Interview by lesliedj at SinisterGirlz.com
Margaret Cho has done it all. Her comedy tours have landed her numerous televised standup specials and rebroadcasts of her feature comedy films. Her concert DVDs have grossed millions (her first special “I’m The One That I Want” broke the record for the most money grossed per print in movie history), She’s performed to sold out crowds in Carnegie Hall, The Apollo and other well-known venues around the US. Her short-lived 1994 ABC sitcom All-American Girl broke ground featuring the first Asian American family on television. While her 2003 comedy CD Revolution, based on her third sold-out national tour and concert film by the same name, earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy album that year. Today Margaret Cho can be seen costarring alongside Brooke Elliot on Lifetime’s original hit comedy Drop Dead Diva currently in its second season.
She’s an accomplished comedian, actress as well as author and now the multifaceted performer is adding musician to her resume. Her full-length music album “Cho Dependent” features collaborations with Ben Lee, Fiona Apple and Ani DiFranco among others and comes out on August 24th. When we spoke with her in June she was more than willing to let us in on the album’s creative process as well as what’s to come for her Diva character Teri Lee.
SinisterGirlz: What inspired you to record a full music album? And what was the creative process like?
Margaret Cho: [I knew] I wanted to make a comedy album that was full of funny songs but I don’t know how to play music. I didn’t know how to make music and I wanted to enlist some of the people that I knew that know how to make music very well. I’m lucky enough to know some of the greatest musicians of our time and be friends with them long enough to make them do this with me. So I just called them up and said, ‘I want to make this album, will you be a part of it?’ and everybody said ‘Yes.’ The creative process was different with everybody. Sometimes I would have the initial meeting with the person and then figure out what we were doing or I would bring them [some] lyrics and they would write music or send me a demo. Or we would sit together and write, that’s something I enjoyed a lot too. I learned a lot about music. How to play guitar and how to sing from all these people helping me.”
SinisterGirlz: Aside from the album having to be funny was there something specific you wanted this album to have?
Photo by: PixieVisionProductions
Margaret Cho: I just wanted it to be good. I wanted the music to have lasting value. I know that sometimes with comedy music they’re not as well regarded as other music that’s out there. So I wanted it to be funny but I also wanted the music to sound good, I wanted the music to rock. I’m a big music fan and have been going to shows for as long as I can remember and have wanted to be a musician in a way. I think it’s [a universal thing] for most comedians we want to do music and rock stars always want to do comedy. So I thought there was someplace in between where we could meet and I really enjoyed this process.
SinisterGirlz: When you go on tour this fall will the tour feature both standup and musical numbers? Or will you save the standup for a separate show? What are you thinking of doing?
Margaret Cho: It will feature both music and [comedy] it’s still a standup show. All in all it’s still a comedy show. I will always be a comedian that is what I will always define myself as. There will be some music in it but the music is comedic so it’s still comedy.
SinisterGirlz: You’ve done just about everything; you’ve written books, done standup obviously, TV, movies, stage show (your Burlesque show ‘The Sensuous Woman’) and now music is there any thing else or another venture you’d like to try out?
Margaret Cho: I’d like to do more music I really feel like this is a great place to be. I also love burlesque but I don’t think I’ll be doing that again, that was a wonderful [experience] but I definitely want to do more music.
SinisterGirlz: What would you say inspires you to keep going in show biz and keep growing as a performer?
Margaret Cho: I always like to challenge myself and do different things and have fun. [I like to] have a great social life which I do. With making this album a lot of it was very social and getting to hang out with people that I love and make something that I love [as well]. Everybody [featured] on the album is my friend and it was a really cool time to collaborate.
SinisterGirlz: Do you ever get approached by aspiring comedians seeking advice or what kind of advice would you give a young comic starting out?
Margaret Cho: I always try to be really supportive and watch people’s act. And give them advice or tips because I have a lot of experience in that world so I know how hard it can be so I’m very into mentoring young comics and giving them a break.
SinisterGirlz: Have you ever had any onstage mishaps while performing your standup?
Margaret Cho: Not really, I’ve been doing it for so long and it’s pretty amazing that it’s never gone wrong. It’s always gone pretty good, I’ve been really lucky.
SinisterGirlz: I want to talk about Drop Dead Diva, it’s in its second season now what can you tell us about what’s to come for your character?
Photo by: PixieVisionProductions
Margaret Cho: Well this year, we’ll meet my character’s family which is cool…we’ll meet her wonderful cousin and mother, a lot of emotions for my character and we’ll later find out she’s a private investigator later in the season and some more intrigue so there’s a lot of fun stuff coming up.
SinisterGirlz: How does it feel to be on a hit show? Were you surprised by the initial success of it?
Margaret Cho: Well I really loved the script and I loved reading the pilot. I love filming it and everyone on the show is super talented, Brooke Elliott is really talented so it’s a really fantastic to be a part of it. I love it and knew it was going to be successful because I knew the script was good. [However] it’s a big change for me because I usually tour a lot so this makes my life quite different. We live in Atlanta, I live in Atlanta now where the show is filmed and it’s my home now for half the year. It’s a big change.
SinisterGirlz: You already had a successful career prior to the success of Drop Dead Diva but now that you’re on a hit show does that open up other opportunities for other acting gigs?
Margaret Cho: Yea, I got to do some other stuff [as well] and hope to do more beyond that, but for now I’m loving being on the show.
SinisterGirlz: Anything else you’d like to share with our readers that we haven’t already covered?
Margaret Cho: Well I love this album and I’m really excited to get back on tour because I haven’t been able to be on tour for so long and I can’t wait.
SinisterGirlz: Any specific topics you’ll be covering on this tour? Stuff that’s going on now perhaps?
Margaret Cho: I think I’m gonna talk about cultural stuff, a lot about race and family and what it’s like for me, cause I’m so liberal and progressive politically, being queer and how it is to live in the south because it’s such a big change so they’ll be some of that too.
Article about Cho Dependent on USA Today PopCandy
June 9th, 2010Margaret Cho teams with Tegan and Sara, Fiona Apple, others for new album
by Whitney Matheson
USAToday.com PopCandy
I’m a longtime fan of Margaret Cho, and I’m glad her standup and acting careers are still going strong.
Right now you can see her on the second season of Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva (and I know you may have doubts because of the L-word, but it’s really a well-written and funny series). Cho has also recorded a musical comedy album called Cho Dependent, out Aug. 24, with heaps of guest musicians.
Contributors include Tegan and Sara, Andrew Bird, Brendan Benson, Rachael Yamagata, Grant Lee Phillips, Jon Brion, Fiona Apple, Ben Lee, Ani DiFranco. (Per usual, she’s not messing around.)
“I still have to pinch myself!” Cho says in a press release of her collaborators.
And if the songs are half as memorable as their titles, a trip to see the comedian on tour this fall will be well worth it.
The tracklist (with some editing):
1. Intervention (co-written with/featuring Tegan and Sara)
2. Calling in Stoned (co-written with Ben Lee/featuring Ben Lee and Tommy Chong)
3. Your D–k (co-written with A.C. Newman/featuring Ben Lee)
4. Baby I’m With The Band (co-written with/featuring Brendan Benson)
5. Hey Big Dog (co-written with Patty Griffin/featuring Ben Lee and Fiona Apple)
6. I’m Sorry (co-written with/featuring Andrew Bird)
7. Lice (co-written with/featuring Ben Lee)
8. Enemies (co-written with/featuring Jon Brion)
9. Asian Adjacent (co-written with/featuring Grant Lee Phillips)
10. Gimme Your Seed (co-written with/featuring Garrison Starr and Meghan Toohey)
11. Eat S–t and Die (co-written with/featuring Grant Lee Phillips)
12. Captain Cameltoe (co-written with/featuring Ani DiFranco)
13. My Pu-s (co-written with Diana Yanez and Kurt Hall/parody of Mickey Avalon & Dirt Nasty song)
* Hidden Track: Lesbian Escalation (co-written with/featuring Rachael Yamagata)
No. 12 sounds like a great idea for a Halloween costume.
