That's the thing - his management knows how to pick the right producers that will make the catchiest songs that cater to his narrow range. He doesn't stray from the path or do anything too show-y. Just catchy, mid-range pop music set to music of whatever's popular at the moment.

I still can't forgive them for "The Big Bang Theory" theme song. Anything associated with that show automatically gets knocked down a few pegs.

I think it's kind of funny that despite Canadians being seen usually as apologetic and overly nice, that one of its bigger pop bands (Barenaked Ladies) has an almost Smiths-like feud between the two lead singers (well, one of them now a former lead singer) and they've made it quite clear that the two will likely never

Stars is an awesome band that I feel caught fire for a few years during the mid-00s indie boom and now has kind of comfortably settled into kind of an indie legacy band. They should have been huge though.

My friend and I got really obsessed with Prozzak in the late 90s/early '00s after seeing the "Sucks To Be You" video on "120 Minutes." We loved it and we're dying to get our hands on "Hot Show," but it was really tough to come by in The States. Also, you couldn't download it because it was also tough to find and 56k

The one guy from the band helped write "Call Me Maybe" - so lifetime pass!

I'm so glad that both that and "The Jungle Book" went against what seemed to be the Burton-esque trend of doing a live action remake of some classic animated property, douse in a sea of black and grays and remove it of any soul. After seeing "Cinderella," I was ready to write off that whole trend.

"13 Hours" did okay, even if it showed that Krasinski is still Krasinski in whatever role he's given. Also, the movie wasn't good.

He already did that in "Threat Level Midnight!"

In smalltown Ohio, no less!

Really? It horrifies you?

Remember the even shittier movie, "Death of a President" that theorized what if Bush was assassinated? I hated Bush with a blazing fire of emotion and even I knew that was too far.

It would be kind of cool if MM's character ran into Natalie Dormer in the woods. It's like that one time Urkel appeared on "Step By Step," but more attractive.

Between this and Vince Staples*, two very solid hip-hop releases on the same day. Very exciting.

I'm pretty sure she was just using those as examples of the pop music they threw in.

There's still MTV Hits and MTVu, but you need the bigger cable packages for them.

That was truly the end of the channel for me. After that, they became the "Viva La Bam" re-runs channel and all was gone

I think only VEVO does anything close to that. And VEVO fucking sucks if you're not looking for Top 40 or music to lose your mind while doing bath salts.

Old fX was awesome. The whole family would crowd around the tv to watch "In Living Color" re-runs and they'd have little interstitial bits in between where the host would show off the fan art they'd receive. It really felt like a channel that took its viewers in as family.

The Box was awesome and took a lot of chances no other station would on new artists. Granted, some of them were awful, awful Europop trash, but some were really interesting.
