NEXT WEEK'S CLIFFHANGER: the farm is crawling with zombies who heard Andrea's riffle for the Zombie Partay call.
FOLLOWING WEEK: All zombies walk up to Andrea to ask for their wristbands and she goes "I'm all out of wristbands!". They eat every inch of her guts in an overly graphic scene that lasts 4 minutes and 23 seconds.
This show is turning into "The Killing: Zombie Edition". They have a generally decent idea but don't know how to execute properly, wastes too much time setting things up and then nothing happens.
I was waiting for the pan out scene where they show lots of solar panels on the roof of the farmhouse to explain their never-ending power supply. I mean, did you guys check out their fence? Three lines of barbed wire! OH MY! At this point I was expecting a Lord Of The Rings fortress! I'm sure zombie wander by and turn around worried the wire could tear their skins and give them ugly scars. Lord know they're all out of Mederma in that pharmacy!
On yet another sunny afternoon in SoCal, Charlie Harper wakes up to an alarm reminding him he has a 3PM appointment with the man who tailors his beloved bowling shirts. On his way there, he loses control of his Mercedes-Benz and drives off a cliff. The End.
If you don't take yourself too seriously, you'll laugh out loud to his comment. That's what I did!
"A thousand year old tree? Go fuck yourself! You’d have thought he’d have written a song about a modern tree or one that was planted last week. You know what I mean?" *LMAO*
I'd say Phantogram's Eyelid Movvies - unforgivable omission! - and Autolux's Transit Transit, probably overlooked because it was similar to their last, still pretty good album.
LOLz
PS: Guys, don't quit your day job for acting.
PSS: Thanks to Colbert for instructing me on why the Grammy suck so much: people are voting on things they know nothing about! Simply check the most familiar name. Why not let winners vote only on their category, in his case, comedy.
Can we declare this song over? It's in the trailer for Kevin James/Vince Vaughn latest suckfest!
To be honest, I thought it was over after Gwyneth Paltrow covered it on Glee. Kevin James and Vince Vaughn are basically desecrating its corpse.
I think that music can be very open and we will often interpreted in the way that best fit our own frame of mind and experiences. However, in the particular case of "Bodies", the song is very direct and there's only one lonesome paragraph that might hint at an actual message (attempt). The rest was simply created to incite a massive mosh pit at their concerts.
Pointing out which music, movies or video games the guy liked is, in my opinion, voided of significance.
Really?! That's incredibly disappointing considering all the people who keep shouting out other artists.
Guess the single vote thing had something to do with it....
I don't get the copy/paste of your original list at the end of the post.
Why not include the Top 50 albums readers voted on, even if there's a lot of overlap?
Great album! Loaded with lots of slow jamz, but give it its due time and it flourishes!
I didn't bother to mention it before because I can't even think of a single post about The Black Keys, to be honest.
As far as lists go, it's unfair to include an EP next to an album. It's far easier to put 4-6 good songs than make a coherent 10+ song effort. Also, people tend to be far more comfortable giving the top spots to old established acts than gamble it away to a newer artist. I guess there's fear that things won't quite turn out as expected, read they'd be one-album wonders.
Having said that, bitching time! No love for Gorillaz, Walkmen, Menomena or Caribou?!?!?! Even though, I really enjoyed Wild Nothing it gets a lot of negative points based on lack of originality. Not top 10 material, in my honest opinion, there were far better debuts this year.
Other wise, good list in general. Would have liked a favorite song list and videos? *gummy withdrawal*
Ehhh, I know that. it has not stopped the Grammy from nominating people before, like Silversun Pickups last year(?)
I care so much about these things that I keep an accurate track of them in my mind!
Vampire Weekend was robbed in the Best New Artist category!!!
On the other hand, this post is of utmost importance for future Jeopardy players:
"How many times does a band have to play in the Madison Square Garden to be considered for a best album award in the Grammys?"
Damn. Thought I was going crazy this morning, when I turned around to face the TV and saw people jumping inside a car. I was like... wait a minute, are those people wearing Tommy Hilfiger?????
I should add that thanks to Twitter is so much easier to keep track of bands, even if you go on for weeks without reading a blog! And I strongly encourage all of them to tweet their "Progress Report".
Bands I have on a Twitter list that have mentioned new albums:
Bat for Lashes
Best Coast
Disappears
The Helio Sequence
Joy Formidable
Okkervil River
Tune-Yards
Twilight Sad
Twin Sister
Wild Beasts
Wye Oak
Zola Jesus
No twitter, but definitely something from Atlas Sound!
Geez, SNL averaging .1000 in suckitude for the season. Now it's spreading to live bands. I thought the sound was very poor for both songs.
As for the Digital Short... What was that?!
His second worst moment was probably not being able to finish reading that book with those kids on the morning of 9/11. Poor kids will never learn to pronounce nuclear.
Moe Tucker a teabagger.
Evan Dando a truther.
Life is sad right about now.
A long time ago, I remember watching a YouTube video of the truther conspiracy and it was so well put together that I couldn't stop thinking about the "what ifs" for days... then I came back to my senses. Don't mention it to me unless someone can put something together that is not based on paranoia and backed by some relatively substantial evidence.
This was on a Nurse Jackie season promo....

As for Commercial Appeal overload, I'd like to give a shoutout to Florence and The Machine. Feels like every song of that album has already been in a gazillion ad/teasers by now, especially "Dog Days Are Over".
Quick suggestion: how about a "writer's pick" recap? Videos/Music all of you individually enjoyed the most from the past week. So much can happen in a week. Sometimes it's difficult to filter the best, if you don't have a lot of time to invest.
