So Jeff Buckley is someone that you think shouldn't be covered, and then you cite Leonard Cohen as someone who shouldn't be, either. Hmm, yeah. I guess it's just a coincidence that both artists have a popular song entitled "Hallelujah," then?

I'll admit i haven't been too impressed with the movies he has done lately but his live appearances like this always make me laugh. You should check out his comedy for dogs.

The Jerk is great, but it's pretty dated. His standup is really where he shines though.

I think you should give Steve Martin another chance. I grew up thinking he was just outstanding. Check out "Roxanne," or "L.A. Story" for starters. I used to love "My Blue Heaven" too, but it's been a while since I saw that. "All of Me" is a neat movie featuring some pretty crazy walking, which is sort of what made him hilarious to me when I was a kid. He also does great dramatic work in "Leap of Faith" and "Grand Canyon." A couple slapsticky movies that make me laugh are "The Man with Two Brains" and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid." DMDWP is in thrilling Detectovision! If you're a reader, I highly recommend "The Pleasure of My Company," and his collection of writing for the New Yorker. Presently I'm reading his autobiography, "Born Standing Up." It's nice, but not really comedic.

I agree. I like watching reality tv hook-ups as much as anyone, but not on this particular show. And even if it did have a place on this show, not between those two. I dont like them enough to be like 'yay!" or even hate them enough to enjoy deriding them for cheating on their live-in significant others they previously have mentioned. Fail.

I definitely appreciate the idea behind the track, but the song fell a bit flat for me. Amazing production as always, but the song wasn't there.

Harmless Lover's Discourse reminds me of their version of a Bruce Springsteen Streets of Philadelphia-esque ballad.

Has the potential to go extremely each way. Let's just hope the cast and production take it the right way. Makes sense to me though - poppy campy songs, sentimental, limited sets, a good recipe.

Enjoy this song more than the average Vampire Weekend track.
I think people are so plus or minus this band because they got so popular so quickly, it's the (somewhat) new p4k effect.

The title of this movie enrages me, sounds like "customer focused music solutions" (props radiohead).

No hook, whatsoever. I wanted a hit you in the chest When You Were Young caliber song. I like the new direction, Stuart Price did a pretty decent job with production (although missing some big full bass tones) and Brandon's voice sounds good. But there is absolutely NO song there.

Based on my shameful loyalty to the CBC, I wanted Jian to be vindicated. But it's also Billy Bob, and I'm also a defensive Canadian. :)

I officially don't understand why he is funny. Someone please tell me what movies to see or sketches to watch, because "we are two wild and crazy guys" can only go so far, and my girlfriend hasn't been able to force me watch Father of the Bride for awhile now.
