What happens when a comedy genius drops an album that sounds like a behind-the-scenes tour of every awkward band moment ever?In this laugh-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into the absurd brilliance of Fred Armisen’s upcoming album, 100 Sound Effects — a sonic sketchbook of painfully specific, hilariously accurate musical moments. From “Drum Soundcheck at Medium Sized Venue” to “Sparsely Attended Show Encore with Someone Shouting ‘Where’s Jim?’,” the crew plays clips, guesses track names, and absolutely loses it over the deadpan genius of it all.

Sounds good. You got monitors? Okay, Yeah, sounds great.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
It sounds.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I'm good. Good on your end, I mean the room
is stilled. It's incredible, dude, it sounds really good. Where
is Trummer asked for more? You know, more in his monitor?
(03:40):
This is that command.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
This is comedy, very for a very small group of people,
but it's very funny.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah. This is a track five that he hasn't released.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
All the tracks I've been the album is called one
hundred sound Effects, but he only gave you the first
seven to preview. Track five is called Romanian Crowd at
Rock Club shouting for an encore. Okay, okay, I want
(04:19):
you to try to guess the track name of track six.
Listen all the way to its twenty seconds.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Where's Jim?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Somebody say, where's the track name?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Can we guess?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I think it's crowd after encore and medium sized venue.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Sparsely attended show Encore with someone shouting where's gym?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So there's gonna be a I have a question.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Do you think he recorded these and then named or
he came up with the names and then performed these.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Here's what I think. I think it's like he is.
This is his version of observational humor for his world.
And he's always been in bands and he's always been
playing small venues and things like that, and so I
think he's like making fun of that experience, and he
knows what all those experiences are, and so he knows
what he wants to record and then has a name
(05:24):
for it.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
But he also got tracks on here of the one hundred,
he's got basketball bouncing, uh, signing a basketball, things like that,
he's got walking into a video room at an art museum.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
To me, it's even better if he came up with
the title and then recorded it. There's a guy going
we're gonna have a song called this, and then where's Jim.
Somebody has to come in and go where's Jim. So good,
so there is September that'll be dropping. We will probably
play a lot of that on The Evil Think So
