Eddie Current is the name of the one-person band of songwriter/musician Edward Current. Edward has been recording music under the name Eddie Current since 1985.
Edward writes much of his music in frantic 12-hour immersive songwriting sessions — often resulting in short, unpolished songs, with all of the vocal and instrumental tracks created from scratch in just a few hours. (To see this in action, watch the Eddie Current YouTube video "Three Songs in Four Hours", and also check out "Cosby Sills Cash & Jung", a video for another song.)
Edward is also a popular YouTube comedian. He recently started doing standup and is uploading videos of his appearances here. But he is best known for his videos satirizing Evangelical Christianity. (His most popular video to date is "An Atheist Meets God".) In March 2006, his cartoon "The Democrats Get Balls!" — which depicted a future scenario where Barack Obama is elected President, nearly a year before he declared his candidacy — won Huffingtonpost.com's Contagious Festival Jury Prize (judges included Arianna Huffington and John Cusack) and was also featured on the Bravo Network.
Edward's non-sarcastic alter ego writes books, is a consulting editor for a magazine, and freelances as a video editor/motion graphics artist.

It's one thing that you're a freaky genius who seems to know everything about religion and physics.. But on top of that, you pull a wicked cover of Ziggy Stardust? My mind has exploded.
They call holidays an option for a reason I heard you're coming back to life just for the fourth I've been catching all your ghosts for every season I pray to god you won't come back here anymore
