Any good spoken word?

[Superdave]

Anyone have any recommendations for some good spoken word?

[Against Will]

Mitch Hedberg's album. "Strategic Grill Locations", it even has bass accompaniment!

I haven't heard a whole album of hers, but I'm a big fan of Ursula Rucker's poetry. You might know her from the intro and end tracks from all the Roots albums.

[Benjamin Strange]

One word: Henry Rollins.

[Juneau]

Saul Williams has some good stuff, some of it is to music, some not.

[The Golden Boy]

Velvet Underground- White Light, White Heat.

Jello Biafra-"I blow minds for a living"
...if you are looking for comedy-any George Carlin(I saw him in concert a while ago...) The new Lenny Bruce box set...if you don't mind spending $80...

Try some Gil Scott-Heron.

+1 for Henry Rollins. I saw his live spoken word performance earlier this year. Witty, intelligent and thought-provoking.

[Mike Flynn]

All the Bill Hicks CDs, concerts, DVDs etc etc - the man is a God.

Also if you haven't been listening to it on Radio 4, when they were playing it recently, but the original Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy is just brilliant - great cast and great realisation, it's one you'll happily listen to again and again.

If you've never heard of it go here for all the info you'll ever need:

- if you haven't read the books by Douglas Adams (RIP) I suggest you get acquianted with them, they're excellent as well.

Absolutely brilliant, IMO.
