I Kinda Like It When a Lotta People Die is the 20th album, and first posthumous album by stand-up comedian George Carlin.
The album contains unreleased material, opening with a home recording done in 1957[2] to an entire show recorded live from the MGM Grand Las Vegas on September 9 and 10, 2001; this show would be shelved by Carlin due to the September 11 attacks.[3]
The title of the album stemmed from the title of the original show, which would be re-tooled, re-titled Complaints and Grievances and recorded at the Beacon Theatre in New York City two months later. The title was later planned to be re-used for a special in 2004, but was again discarded due to Hurricane Katrina. That special was later called Life Is Worth Losing, and features a re-tooled version of the "Uncle Dave" bit originally recorded during the 2001 show.
The album features liner notes written by comedian Lewis Black,[4] plus interviews with former manager Jerry Hamza and longtime comedy special producer Rocco Urbisci. The album streamed on SiriusXM’s Comedy Greats channel two weeks prior to its release.[5]
