Cool little interview & performance with The Swell Season (Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová).  Be sure to check out their new album. UPDATE: Because it’s so schweet, I just had to point out their live version of the Pixies’ “Gigantic” — I believe you can find it on the special bonus disc of Strict Joy. Gigantic - The Swell Season

Metal on Metal.
I don’t know what moron decided that “Anvil: The Story of Anvil” wouldn’t be on the shortlist considered for this year’s best Documentary Oscar, but I hope they get roughed up by a shady Prague concert promoter.  A positive rating of 98% — and the admiration of fans everywhere should have been enough. I had assumed this would be like “Spinal Tap”...

I would really, really prefer it if this were not true.  Never, ever, have I liked this “mouth breathing suckwad” (to quote Matty). Shipping off Lowell, and then this?  It’s like they’re shedding those we love and acquiring those we hate.  Why not trade for the compulsively spitting jackass while you’re at it?  Hell, have NESN hire Bryan Cox as a studio analyst for...

This section from “30 Rock” killed us when we watched it this weekend (catching up on our DVR).  We even had to do a pause-because-the-Wife-can’t-stop-laughing moment.  I’m pretty sure it was a combination of the smile, the wave, the kiss and the basketball. In fact, the very next morning, I’m sound asleep when I suddenly start to feel the bed shaking a little bit. ...

Matty sent me a message this evening: “Threw together a little imovie to try and work out some stuff I’m feeling.” And then he sent me a link to those feelings. I’m glad he did, as it’s a fitting look back at the man we’ve affectionately referred to as “Dad” for the past four years.  He provided whatever we asked him for, whether it was an RBI...

Cochon Sundays.
The oh-so-delicious restaurant Joseph Leonard (which I might have mentioned a few times) received a sweet write up in the NY Post.  “I Love New Pork” details their ‘Cochon Sundays’, where chef Jim butchers a whole pig, using the different elements in various dishes — apps, entrees, etc.  They are available until the pig starts to disappear (which can be seen on a...

This sweet little LOST promo from Spain gets me excited for the new season.  ABC should take notice — you can do quite a bit with old footage, some CG, and a little Radiohead.
