Oh the poor, short-lived Pete Holmes Show, a program that was basically a vehicle for Pete's comic friends to come on and make fun of him.

Can I buy some pot from you?

Instagram is for children - Pat Benatar

Ha, they used to have the same hair!

Red was way better. 1989 is listenable, but overpraised. I go back to Fearless and Speak Now more, even though both are over-long and a little childish.

Taylor Swift just announced as celebrity endorser of Dog Asshole.

Don't forget about the wildfires!

But it was also about a movie star. Talk about a win-win!

Ha, yes, I remember tropicalia being somewhat in vogue then! Not a bad time.

I haven't seen any of the movies in the Best Actress category yet, but I was half-expecting Rebecca Hall to show up in these nominee lists for her performance in Christine. Am I the only one who liked her in that or are the other performances that good?

Cubital tunnel syndrome? I never even heard of that. When I was an active bass player, playing would sometimes be hard on my fingers and wrists (especially if we had to play three sets in a night), but switching to a pick helped (even if it made my playing more punky and less funky).

In my alternate reality, Michael Keaton and Teri Garr are happily married. And my parents.

Shoulda had him dub Keanu's lines.

He's basically the Canadian Ben Vereen.

I liked Gaga's new album better than ARTPOP and probably Born This Way too, but she's a little too self-conscious now, I'm not getting the joy of her early singles (and some of Joanne is too similar to 1989 for me). But, yeah, Grande is really the only one I can think of who distinguished herself (among anyone not…

'Dangerous Woman' was a really good pop single, especially for a down tempo song (with a guitar solo, no less). Her other singles this year have been average, but she can sing, which makes his listenable.

I feel closer to Drake now that I know he also has a crush on Doris Burke:

Grande at least deserves it for not being wholly terrible. I streamed her.

Considering how things were going for poor Thomasin, I can't think of a more satisfying ending for the movie. The Witch is a favorite in my household.
