Here's some fun - what "Dig Me Out" sounded like without Janet.

That little interview with Fred Armisen was so fun.

If I need a good cry, I go to poorly recorded live versions of the first and last songs played at their last show before their indefinite hiatus in 2006. Janet Weiss and Eddie Vedder singing "Tonight You Belong To Me" over ukulele at the beginning, and then the devastating "One More Hour" at the end. Corin can't…

That was my first encounter with S-K as well. I know the band kind of started in an oasis for gender issues, giving a voice to those who felt marginalized in those arenas. But I remember seeing a review of One Beat that talked about its stance in terms of national politics, and I was struck by that same feeling of,…

He could just say he meant the Soderbergh remake.

Eh, the Star Wars saga is more fantasy than sci fi anyway.

Pretty sure I saw Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead in there, too.

Clearly someone was an early fan of baseball sabermetrics on the internet.

It's alright, Colbert will save us.

The only thing I remember about Poe is that her brother wrote "House of Leaves."

So, did Benedict refer to this thing as his colored doppelganger yet?

Simms and Foley have talked about how they always wanted to get Bob Newhart to guest as Dave's father back in Wisconsin (and Isabella Rossellini as his mom, incidentally).

To me it's so out in the open that it's overlooked: Matthew's many, many pratfalls. Simms said they did it so often that NBC finally told him to knock it off and find new jokes.

Literally, "indirectly."

The story on the DVD commentaries is that NBC was doing some kind of theme for their Thursday night lineup one week: Three Weddings and a Funeral. And they assigned the funeral to NewsRadio.

Given that it was the '90's, NewsRadio really pushed the envelope on innuendo a few times. I can remember some crude thing about a squeegee once, but the one I always think of is a Beth line from the season 2 finale "Led Zeppelin II."

Ha - connections! "Halloween" was from the following year, early in the third season.

That would be "Zoso" from late in the second season. Also features Lisa switching outfits with Beth, as well as the memorable Dave-Lisa exchange:

I once looked up Linda Fiorentino's filmography to to see if she could give me a fix for more Maura. Like methadone instead of heroin. Actually no: more like vodka poured in with a slushie, instead of a giant mixed drink served in a coconut with a lit sparkler.
