Well, at least he got through it without directly mentioning the Illuminati. I suppose that's something. As an aside, a track like this really makes me miss the old days when he would have just looped four bars of a James Brown drum break instead of building up a drum part on a computer, which always sounds so…

Seriously, I guess this is how a real living person behaves when they believe EVERY conspiracy theory simultaneously.

That's what the news people say, but they're just speculating. They don't have any more hard information about the aliens than anyone else.

I haven't seen anything he's done since, but I loved Signs and I'll defend it to the bitter end. I might be the only person on earth who feels this way, but I rather liked that the aliens acted like complete idiots, and that there was never any explanation for their behavior.

I assume Larry Wilmore was offered the gig in one way or another, and simply didn't want to deal with all the baggage that would come with replacing Stewart. I'd love to see the complete list of people who rejected the job before Noah (either bravely or stupidly, take your pick) took it on.

Let's just assume it was Obama's fault.

I finally got around to watching this, and lo I was enlightened. This puts a human face on some of the grade-z garbage that I grew up watching in the early days of HBO. It also made me grateful for all the low-budget crap they made, since it bankrolled Runaway Train, one of Cannon's rare forays into 'real'…

What was that and why does it exist and why did I watch it?

I figured they didn't want to bring Darrell Hammond in and then have him standing off on the side doing nothing for the rest of the sketch, but the asides didn't work at all.

Stories From the City/Sea is her most accessible album but it feels sort of like PJ Harvey-lite. Rid of Me and Is This Desire are favorites of mine, but they make very few compromises towards a new listener. To Bring You My Love is her masterpiece; it's still not an easy listen but it does hit the sweet spot in…

Yeah, maybe I'm alone in this, but I found Malcolm (the recovering drug addict who lives next door to JJ) possibly even more annoying than Robin and Ruben.

Harvey's a damned good rhythm player and can churn out a solo if she needs to, although like many British musicians in her age group, she seems to look on fancy/technical playing with disdain.

My pick goes back a ways: Cliff Clavin on Cheers. John Ratzenberger is a naturally hilarious guy (and kudos to him for more or less inventing Cliff on the spot when he found out that the role he thought he was auditioning for [Norm] had just been filled). His wikkid Bahstun accent was classic, his delivery of even…

"British guitar legend" is a strange way to describe her, but I'm in for anything she releases, so cool.

A nice one?

She appeared on the Batman Forever soundtrack. She knew what she was getting into.

Ok, Armond White.

It's a real missed opportunity that they didn't just name Fagin Woodcock's character 'Fagin Woodcock'.

Guys, guys, guys…. Xenu is an evil intergalactic overlord who exiled his enemies here ages ago. In Scientology, the concept of God is expressed as the Eighth Dynamic—the urge toward existence as infinity. I suggest you all spend a little more time with your copies of Dianetics. Sheesh!

I would have said it's got an asterisk because it's Gwyneth Paltrow.
