Unreleased comedy album from The State arrives Sept. 14

MTV's The State has remained a cult classic ever since it premiered on MTV in the mid-'90s. But did you know the comedy troupe recorded an album after the series ended? Sadly, it was never released ... until now.

On Sept. 14 Rhino will release Comedy for Gracious Living, which was recorded in January 1996 in the Bahamas. It features 25 tracks from the whole gang, including Michael Ian Black, Thomas Lennon, Michael Showalter, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Ken Marino and David Wain.

"It was a freeing experience because no one was watching over us, there were no 'adults' around," original member Kevin Allison says. "We'd swim and drink and gamble all day and record the silly ideas we'd had that day up into the wee hours that night like kids making tapes in the basement. If you listen, you can hear the ice clinking in the rum drinks we had in hand at all times."

Rhino now has an exclusive link to pre-order, along with samples from each track (!). Sweet.

Gosh, I hope it has "Froggy Jamboree"!!

I was actually kind of disappointed in the album. (I may or may not have downloaded it illegally.) "Would you rather is pretty funny" as is the "glass eyes" bit and "The late Mr. and Mrs. Balloon." Maybe I had my expectations set too high.

Obviously, the darker the home the more appealing it is to someone who is trying to hide.

[Lostmindme]

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't even think the second coming
could make me any happier!!!!!!!!

(Well...maybe...but I don't know.Guess it's
a "wait and see" kinda thing)

The only thing better than more "the State"
would be ...like twenty more seasons of "Stella" ...
or basiclly anything with Mr.'s Black, Showalter (Congrats, ya' bastard!!!)and Wain. But the twenty one motif is the big thing....so let's run with it please!!
If I was spam, I would say my email address is lostmindme at yahoo...but who the heckalsby would do that, huh?

Crazy......
Stella forever...unless the states on first..

just like everybody else, thanks for touring and staying after to meet the geeky fans. i didn't think i would ever get the chance to see stella live, and it didn't seem likely that we (my girlfriend and i) would be able to sustain the twelve-hour drive to do so. glad we did though, because it was way more than worth it! thanks for the pictures, too... we were so excited have our photo taken with a huge/famous/tall celebrity such as yourself.
