Who does Michael think he is?
My guess: He thinks he's David Niven. He's got the ascot, now he just needs to grow a pencil-thin mustache and tweak the accent. You'll never know the difference.

You're watching Aragon?
Do yourself a favor and watch the Rifftrax version:

See No Evil
I don't know REM's discography exhaustively, so this may be a dumb question. But was "See No Evil" (listed above) an REM song, or was that the Television song from Marquee Moon?

Karaoke Extravaganza
"I was a little confused by the Nine Rivers Country Club karaoke extravaganza. Do thinks [sic] like this really exist? Do people actually enjoy watching others perform karaoke?"

I love love love the early Doobie Brothers. And I'll never forgive Michael McDonald for what he did when he joined up.

Have you never heard of All Songs Considered? That and the AV Club are two of my favorite places to find new music.

It doesn't have to be new. He said he wasn't going to listen to any pop music that isn't already in his collection. You don't see him completing his Neil Young collection this year, do you?

Noel Murray does Idol
Oh my God, does this mean you just listened to *Pop Music*? You are so busted.

Kady Malloy wins…
…the best "Most Embarrassing Moment" award.

Thanks, but I think I will forget about you
Thanks for catching Randy's triple-flub on the Simple Minds trivia.

Amelie and BJ remind me of this guy:

I hate unexplained abbreviations
What the fuck is ANTM?

Chris Isaak
You don't have a single track by Chris Isaak? Based upon what I've read of your musings I assumed that you'd have a fair few tracks in your collection, if not several full albums.

I'm surprised how often the final performance of a contestant who just got voted off is markedly better than the performance from the previous night that got them the boot.

No, it was the girl with Dave Letterman teeth, but it's easy to make that mistake.

High Tech Rembrandt
Am I the only one who thought that the second paragraph in this article was accusing Rembrandt van Rijn of creating an uninformative website?

Big Calm
Okay, this wasn't great. But I dug the hell out of Big Calm and Charango. Whence all the hating?

That's what I do too. I've put tons of tape and vinyl on CD that way.

Baseketball
The best part of Baseketball was when Stan ripped on it in South Park.

Randy Jackson is one shameless bastard
Everyone knows that he was behind Carly getting on the show. Everyone knows that her performance was pretty sad tonight. And he still had the nerve to say in front of millions of people that she was the best of the entire season. And with a straight face as well.
