If they had recorded a Klezmer, funk fusion band they would have gotten a 8.9. Wilco is not cool enough for Pitchfork.

You would be surprised (or not) about the lack of common sense at concerts.

the problem is that if person A is sitting, and person B is standing and dancing, and person B is a row ahead of person A. Person B is directly affecting the enjoyment of person A. Now if person A commands/suggests person B to sit down, person A is directly affecting the enjoyment of person B. It is a no win situation. Personally I go with the flow, if people are sitting I sit, if they are standing / dance I stand (I don't dance, because I can't dance). The one thing that I cannot stand is talking. Concert tickets are expensive these days, and I can't afford them like I could. So

the lack of dancing is not because of phones or whatever, it is the venues Wilco is playing. The Warfield, I assume (having never been there) is a concert hall with seats. It is hard to dance with seats around you. Just as simple as that.

Always loved that movie. Recently saw the behind the scenes making of doc on this movie, quite a story. Also I have always found the "Fight Club Theory" quite interesting, and makes the move very strange indeed.

With the tiger's lineup I can see them scoring 10 plus runs a game, and don't see their pitching given up that many.

The Nick Hornby album was a great idea, with a handful of interesting tunes, but it really fell flat. Way to Normal was indeed better, but still not to the level that it could have been. The Way to Normal "Fake leak" was superior in many ways.

It was excellent, but man he got fat.

Colour me excitedly pessimistic. Absolutely love BFF and love Ben's solo stuff more. Though I wasn't too keen on the two songs released by BFF on the Ben Fold's retrospective last year. Hopefully it will be some rocking wry songs and there needs to be a tour, in small venues throughout the nation.

Jonathan Coulton has written about Megaupload on his blog. It seems to make sense to me. http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2012/01/21/megaupload/

And my second favorite team, The Twins. Seems like AL Central title is now the Tiger's to lose.

great signing for the Tigers. Glad he is out of the NL Central.

No, not at all. The book, like most of Roald Dahl's work, is short and doesn't have much in the way of character development. They are kids books after all. The movie has a lot more depth, the same can be said about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and Matilda. Up to the dinner scene in the movie (where the book essentially ends) the story is pretty close, but the kids don't have any names.

http://youtu.be/eP0QJ_Ba1Bs Trailer for the new Wes Anderson. Already love it.

Throw in the wildcard of Ozzie as the manager, if things go south for the team it could get real interesting.

Little risk, I don't know about that. Z is not a good clubhouse guy and can bring down a team with his antics.

Big Z out of Chicago Though I am not high on Chris Volstad, it appears to be addition by subtraction. I hope there is some minor league pitching thrown in with the deal.

I think he didn't want to be type casted and stuck in the "Doctor" role. Since he did Sherlock he has been in (or will be in) Tinker, Tailor Solider Spy, War Horse, The Hobbit, Paradise's End, and Star Trek II. Matt Smith thus far only has two non Who roles since becoming the Doctor (two BBC TV Movies). Benedict didn't also want to appear on school lunch boxes. Of course in this article Benedict says he wasn't offered the role at all, but wouldn't have taken it anyway. I doubt Benedict would appear on Doctor Who, but apparently his mother did.

It has been said that Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) was offered the part of the Doctor, but declined. Matt Smith auditioned for the role of Watson, but it went to Martin Freeman instead. I think the right choice was made all around. Benedict is the voice of Smaug the Dragon in the upcoming Hobbit films, starring Martin Freeman. Fun stuff. I see a lot of the Doctor in Sherlock overall, it might have to do with the main writing team (Mark Gatis and Moffatt) is the main writers for Who. As for the old eps, I grew up with them and loved them, but they are mostly painful to watch.

is it even a possibility that a rock artist may perform? I am pretty sure anything printed in the Sun is false.

Donald Glover (Troy from Community) has put out a couple of Rap Albums under Childish Gambino. The album that came out this year, Camp, was one of my top 5.

Here is a Top 5 for ya 5. Biltzen Trapper - American Goldwing 4. They Might Be Giants - Join Us 3. Stephan Malkmus and the Jinks - mirror traffic 2. Camp -Childish Gambino 1. Wilco - The Whole Love

Christmas Episode thoughts? First 15 minutes excellent, middle dragged, ending touching. I think it is setting up something. I also thought the Bill Bailey part was tacked on and unnecessary.

Often times with Doctor Who you fall in love with the first Doctor you see. Back in 2006 or something I first learning about torrents and found Tooth and Claw (one of Tennent's early eps), thinking that this was a long lost Patrick Troughton episode or something I downloaded it. And wow, was I surprised. I immediately found all the rest and watched. Now, I liked CE, but I couldn't get the picture of the fun loving Doc that was Tennent (Peter Davidson was my fav old Doctor). CE was just too much of a sad sack grump for me. Then Matt Smith came along, I at first I thought no one could r

With all this being said, it still will cast a shadow over Braun. There will be many who cry conspiracy theory and MLB wanting to protect the NL MVP. I am not sure the conspiracists are wrong. It has been my long standing belief that MLB cares nothing about PEDs and are only so stringent about PEDs because Congress got in the mix and public opinion dictated something to be done. Johnny everyman (non baseball fan), wants to see home runs, high scoring games, and the "stars" out on the field for 162 games. No one wants to see a 1-2 ball game with Joe Minor leaguer in left field. PEDs pre
