Like a lot of reality shows, Survivor's early episodes usually suffer from giving all the contestants face time and dealing with the standard set up we've seen a dozen times before. But not last night. The show had an A+ episode right out of the gate by casting a genuinely insane person. For those who didn't watch,…

Monkey in diapers are always funny.

Thanks for the info, Gringo. It's like Behind The Music for musicians that I actually care about.

Wocka, I had to look up the answer, but no. This Wendy Williams:

Wendy Williams
Can we talk about Wendy Williams for a second? After Tony Danza went off the air, I never thought another talk show that could be mined as successfully, but Lord Almighty, along came Wendy Williams. I don't know how the staff at The Soup is able to select one weekly clip from Wendy Williams. Each show…

Joel has said in other interviews that he will continue to host The Soup when Community is in production. If Ryan Seacrest can have five jobs, why not McHale?

Hyper Enough
I've been wanting to read this book since it was announced and am excited that it's a rewarding read for those familiar with the subject. What are the bands on the label that don't sell as well as they'd like? My best guess would be Lambchop.

The ceiling fan with two blades gets me every time.

Excellent point. Perhaps the villain in the fourth movie can call Sandman a pathological liar, thereby correcting the horrible mess they created in the third movie.

Remember that scene when Peter Parker danced and played piano? Me neither.

Probably my pick for the most underrated album on the 90s. I was hoping that history would right itself with a proper resurgence of their songs (a la the Chavez retrospective from a couple years ago) and it looks like I got my wish.

Seconded. Visiter is better than Beware of the Maniacs which is better than Time To Die. The Dodos seem to be on the same trajectory as 764-HERO in that adding a third person does them no favors. Sure, the sound is fuller, but it doesn't make a better song. — I'll be seeing them in Atlanta next month and my fingers…

I watched it twice for the same reason. I think the interviewer removed his or her questions from the source audio for overdubs, and then forgot to add that audio channel back into the mix. Even if the questions had been audible, the trailer would still be really, really stupid. Here's the documentary in a nutshell:

Outside of Mr. Show:

Honest non-snarky answer:

and you could probably make a pretty sweet compilation CD with tracks pulled from other albums. "Number Three" and "Cowtown" immediately come to mind.

Bublsort, the kiddie market exists because people have children, including the members of They Might Be Giants. When you have a child, you have to put your personal tastes aside and play kid-friendly music that they actually want to hear. As an expectant parent, I can't think of an educational band I'd rather have my…

These rules make no sense
The Academy is really the MPAA.

It's not a mainstream movie, but the award for Hardest To Watch Sex Scene(s) goes to The Room.

I see what you did there. Way to keep it low key.
