Student Loan (Stereo), ne'er been played!

What brand of beer do we get if you win? I'd like a 12 pack of Stella Artois, please.

A Deeper Shade of Soul... Eh Eh Eh Eh... A Deeper Shade of Soul...

I gave to Doctors Without Borders yesterday. Like everyone else, including the UN, they've had their facilities destroyed by the quake and are struggling to set up tents and makeshift facilities and find their own staff, many of whom are missing. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5htXx4kMYKWHQsKrDeehDo3LP3LeQ Doctors Without Borders loses all three hospitals in Haitian quake By Michelle Mcquigge (CP) – 19 hours ago TORONTO — The massive earthquake that has toppled buildings and cost untold lives in Haiti has also dealt a staggering blow to a prominent internatio

Can't she love these songs regardless of who else loves 'em? Music is a beautiful thing if you give up all other considerations and reservations and just go with the flow. That said, of the four you list, I'd say What Light isn't a huge fan favorite among the majority of people, and doesn't get played much by the band at all these days, either. All of the others tend to be "crowd pleasers".

Yeah, it seems like they had a lot of failures in that time slot, with Southland being the one possible exception. I wonder how long before shareholders / Comcast execs demand Zucker step down, this Leno / Conan debacle could be the final straw...

I think the other side of this equation is that NBC couldn't produce a new hit drama to save its life, but produced a crapload of $3 million failures. The Leno at 10 pm Experiment smacked of desperation. It's a bit like picking a Wasilla mayor and not even single full-term Alaska govenror for your VP candidate, or throwing a Hail Mary pass into a sea of defenders as the final seconds tick down and praying one of your guys manages to catch it.

I think it was his, but he made it with "pressure" from NBC execs to step down, then regretted making that decision.

He actually said he would retire, then he changed his mind. Here is an article from a few years ago, when the waters were a bit calmer but you could see the clusterf*ck brewing: http://talkshows.about.com/b/2007/10/17/leno-sticking-around-past-2009-retirement-date.htm Leno Sticking Around Past 2009 Retirement Date? Wednesday October 17, 2007 There may be – and put all the stress on may be – trouble brewing in NBC’s late night world. It seems that Jay Leno, host of The Tonight Show, isn’t so sure he wants to retire in 2009. That doesn’t sound so bad to fans of Leno, no doubt, but it do

This is a pretty good bit, too: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/13/nbc-ceos-voicemails-for-c_n_422005.html

Interesting new development: 'Tonight Show' Ratings Soar As Viewers Vote Team Conan By Josef Adalian Published: January 13, 2010 Conan O'Brien's shot heard 'round the world sent his "Tonight Show" numbers soaring as viewers seemed to vote for Team Conan with their remotes. Tuesday's episode scored a 1.7/7 in adults 18-49 in Nielsen's 25 major markets with people meters. That's a dramatic gain of more than 40 percent from Monday, when Conan averaged a 1.2. Conan's "Tonight," in what may well be one of its final broadcasts, crushed "Late Show with David Letterman" in the demo -- nearly

Very cool, but it would be cooler if it didn't start playing automagically. Some of us have jobs, and important things to procrastinate, and work speakers that are sometimes accidentally turned up.

Carson could have the greatest formatted, most improved talk show on the planet, and I'd still probably think the guy's a tool. He just has to open his mouth, basically.

It nudges him that much closer to Carson Daly. Being pushed later is the equivalent of getting branded a loser in the late night talk show world world. Think of how much of a tool Carson is, and you'll understand why Conan doesn't want any part of that.

This sketch is even funnier today becuase it's true : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCz8he36hsk

It's hilarious and maybe a bit sad that a guy with no relation to the Kennedy clan and no experience campaigning, running for or serving in a public office can still garner 3% of the vote, clearly due to the fact that his name happens to be Joseph L. Kennedy.

It's pretty amazing Hillary puts up with Bill, innit it? The guy remains a sleazeball.

Here's a pretty recent interview on who influenced his singing: http://cincinnati.metromix.com/music/article/jeff-tweedy-the-interview/1238829/content What were you hoping to sound like, in your early days, before you started belting it out yourself? Otis Redding! But that was not in the cards for me, in the hand I was dealt. Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Paul Westerberg, the Beatles, Joe Strummer, Kinks. Not usually country guys, but John Prine maybe—guys who had to struggle with some limitations, I identified with them. Jonathan Richman, for instance. I’ve always liked the guys where you go,

Better Times is pretty much perfect.

Here's the link to that Steve Schmidt interview on 60 Mintues. Incredible: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6078906n&tag=api Palin didn't know anything about WWI and WWII, was too stupid to understand why there was a North Korea and a South Korea. In debate prep she kept calling Joe Biden 'Sentor OBiden", confusing him with Obama. That's why she asked Biden if she could "call him Joe", something that seemed like a crafty maneuver at the time but was really due to the fact that the woman is mentally challenged. Also priceless were the McCain operatives who openly considered aski

That, and that really stupid segment now where he has celebs race go-karts around a track.

Both sides(?) can hate me for saying this, but the drama that's going down right now is funnier than either Jay's or Conan's opening monologues.

What I'm not sure I understand is, are people flipping away during Jay's hour (he can't hold his own audience?) Or are they flipping away from the news because they really don't like Conan and are flipping early saving themselves having to change the channel later? A lot of Americans leave their TVs on while they go to sleep. Maybe Jay's a better sleep aid than Conan? He certainly bores the piss out of me.
