> Tom Lehrer could make Pythagoras “lol” if such a situation were ever possible. The veteran musical comedian switched careers after a successful run in the 1950s and ’60s to be a math professor—by choice—and now his much-sought-after works are finally available. The iTunes store currently hosts eight classic out-of-print albums, but the big news is that we’re releasing a CD/DVD called The Tom Lehrer Collection, which will be in stores on April 13. The 2-disc set includes 26 audio tracks, plus a DVD with 12 tracks from an Oslo show in 1967 and animated clips from The Electric Company. The release adds up to one great way to reacquaint—or be introduced to—this treasured artist.
