Six Feet Under With Ben Gibbard & Jenny Lewis
I didn't catch exactly what drug Claire and her friends took on Six Feet Under last night, but it resulted in a "Transatlanticism" singalong. So, so cheesy.
The soundtrack to the episode also included Rilo Kiley's "The Execution of All Things." Watch a clip of lil' Jenny Lewis in the Nintendo fantasy flick The Wizard (via Sarah). I actually saw that movie IN THE THEATER! Yikes.
Ben Gibbard played a solo acoustic set before Rilo Kiley's show in LA on Friday. Anyone go?

They took AMT. More about it here:

That's a fascinating site. This is my favorite blurb:
"Experiment #3. Ate 60 milligrammes.
Wow. Eating is the way to do it. I felt the effects about twenty minutes later and went up for easily almost two hours straight. I watched Moonstruck during that time and my visuals were stronger than five hits of acid."
Moonstruck!

I loved the Wizard, but I'm a big geek.

are you kidding me about that Gibbard set? That rilo kiley show was sold out so I couldn't go.
and yeah -- i flipped over to six feet under just as that death cab singalong was going and I couldn't believe it. were they trying to capture the elusive seth cohen demographic, or the people dying for another PT anderson movie?

Heh! The Wizard. That whole warp whistle shortcut for Super Mario Bros 3 at the end of the movie blew my goddamned mind. One big commercial for a video game and I fell for it hook, line and sinker.
"I love the power glove, it's so bad. "

i did a piss poor write up of it.
gibbard did mostly death cab stuff, a cover, a postal service acoustic, and "such great heights" wtih jimmy & jenny.

SFU is sucking so much ass this season that I can't even believe I'm still watching it. I think the writers are taking too much AMT.

Now while I will give you that the sing along was cheesy, I am finding most of Claire's behaviour uncomfortably familiar. Like, I totally wouldve gotten high in college, listened to some song that moved me and started a sing along, thinking that exact moment in time had been so profound. My point being is that although it was cheesy, it was so age appropriate. Its kinda wiggin me out.

They also snuck the Yo La Tengo song "Nowhere Near" from Painful in last night's episode as well.

How much AMT did they take, anyway? Their adventure started at 2:00 and they were still making love to the lawn after everyone else had retired. Nothing will EVER get me fucked up enough to inspire an Aimee Mann moment.
Score = 0
I think I might be the only person who is loving SFU this season? I think their use of music is great, I especially loved the Radiohead played over the bonfire scene a few episodes back. Maybe the use of "Transatlanticism" is cheesy, but they were on drugs.. that's probably what I would have done too... it's not entirely meant to be "cool"

AMT lasts for like 12 hours. I'm just sayin'...

Hmmm, you know, I betcha a group of 20 year old pretentious art school students who think painting "Terror starts at home" on a wall is a serious artistic statement while high on AMT really would have a singalong to Death Cab for Cutie and think it was a really profound moment. Corny? Possibly. But it fits.
ps. When did Mena Suvari get so hot?

I love SFU this season too, Nora. I don't get the haters.

> Corny? Possibly. But it fits.
Oh I agree -- it could've been intentionally cheesy. But it still made me cringe.

My GF loves Lifetime movies. Y'all see the one where Judith Light (I think) abuses her husband? LOL!

best lifetime movie by far is co-ed call girl with tori spelling.

no no, best one is when all the teenagers in school get syphhalis and marcia gay harden freaks out. "not my daughter!" but isn't it always...

Those art kids were high so every whim must have felt sooo cool and accepted and ok, even though it would otherwise be lame. Anyone else love Claire at the dinner table? Hilarious. And the rest of the episode was great: David almost having a heart attack because of his fucking repression; Brenda caught under the avalance of mediocrity, and now if she gets pregnant who knows who the father is; Ruth is finally realizing that she married a sociopath; and yes, Claire's probably a lesbian. So maybe y'all are too cool and beyond all that.
Mena Suvari is yes, very hot on SFU. That hair suits her.
