I mean, it sort of demands a followup question: "Well, is it a good fate or a bad fate? Because if it's a good one, I probably wouldn't change it. If it's bad…sure, I'd change it. Why wouldn't I?"

"If you could change your fate, would you?"

Presumably she had a baby about a month ago: http://xmadmx.com/posts/201…

I really liked "Karaoke", the song he allegedly wrote for Sade and recorded himself after she wasn't interested. (I edited out the dumb rap section, though.)

Yes, in retrospect "Fa Fa Firstie" would have been acceptable, too.

So disappointed that the firstie wasn't a "BABA BOOEY!"

What was The Rest about this week's show? This isn't a call-out, I haven't heard it yet; it just that the mini-review seems pretty positive.

It seems odd to review The Best Show on the weeks that Tom's not in the studio. It's not like Mike and Therese are really "filling in" for Tom and they don't even call what they do "The Best Show." They're doing their own (mildly diverting) show that happens to involve fans of The Best Show calling in.

I loved all the videos above, especially the ones that are just his incredible voice and a guitar. What album should I start with?

I'll go against the tide and say that I'm sorta okay with Nathan's departure. I'll miss the comic elements he brings, but the show seemed to have a hard time figuring out what to do with him. He never really had a storyline (he had episodes about him, but that's different…I'm talking about a storyline concerning his…

I liked Season Two a lot and I'm definitely on-board for Season Three, but I have to say I really miss the tone of Season One. I liked the show more when it was smaller, when it was more of a "very funny drama" as opposed to a "dramatic comedy."

Someone's going to suggest the Patrick Rothfuss books, so I'd like to pre-emptively vote against them…they're wretched. Prose that would make a fan-fiction writer blush employed to tell a Mary Sue's coming of age story that you just know was based on a D&D campaign the author Dungeon Mastered in freshman year.

A Masterful Performance
Todd is a genius: he begins this review of a fantasy novel by calling the author's previous book "one of the best genre reads of the last decade."

Honestly, does no one on SNL know what rockabilly is?
I'm not even commenting on the quality of the skit. Whatever the music was they played—it sounded like a Georgia Satellites instrumental—it wasn't rockabilly.

Jennifer Senior has a nice meaty article about this in New York Magazine recently, "All Joy And No Fun":

Jasmine
"I liked Adam pointing out how bizarre it is that Jasmine seems this into his shiftless younger brother."

Crosby's Low Income Life
I don't see any reason to think that Crosby doesn't have money. He comes from an entitled family, he works as a record producer, he owns his own studio, he has a motorcycle and some sort of vintage convertible, and he lives on a houseboat I assume he owns. I know that TV has a skewed idea of…
