Iggy Pop & Jeff Tweedy Are Lil' Rummy & Lil' God, Respectively

History is being made over at Comedy Central: The network we love to laugh with (save the looping MADtv reruns; make it stop!) has picked up the animated satire Lil' Bush, originally an Amp'd Mobile downloadable short, for a six episode run this June -- marking the first time a mobisode has made the jump to the little screen from the, uh, littler screen. The beefed up TV cast will include Iggy Pop as Lil' Rummy (that's Donald Rumsfeld) and, awesomely, Jeff Tweedy as Lil' God ("Thou shalt not compare us to the Eagles"). The show also promises voice overs from Dave Grohl and the Chili Peppers. No word on whether it promises to be better than the trailer, though.

That was surprisingly better than I thought it'd be.

TV is called the small screen, not the little screen.

Yes! That's my Bush was the best.

"I can't believe he's finally in the White House, that's our MAOOOOWWNN! That's my Bush!"

"One of these days Laura, I'm gonna punch you in the face." Man, i loved that show.

As for Lil Bush, i like the concept but the clip didn't wow me in the slightest.

yeah the little bush show looks like the easiest joke in the world. after 7 years of bullshit, we all know that bush is stupid. we get it. making him little doesn't make the jokes more original...

Premature Evaluation: The Walkmen - You & Me

Before we got to soak-in the woozy organ and raw yelps of "In the New Year," the last taste we had of the Walkmen was that one-off "Lemon Hill." As we mentioned then, the Men said "Lemon" wasn't "exactly in...

M83 - "Kim & Jessie" (Montag remix)

M83, aka Anthony Gonzalez, toned his sounds down on fifth album Saturdays = Youth, but the emotions remain teenage, achy, and perfectly romantic. Gonzalez is releasing album standout "Kim & Jessie" as a digital single 7/22 on Mute. It includes...
