I think there should be a progress report for Noisettes. I loved their first album, and I've been waiting for another, but I haven't heard anything from them. What happened?

I thought it was all funny, but especially Feist, and also, Stephen making out with Elvis Costello (I think?) in a bear costume.

Best.

Moment.

Ever.

Thank you, Sarah Palin, for being so utterly ridiculous and making us all laugh. Oh, and all of the people in this commercial, too. Thank you.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that part. That was great. I also really liked the part with Snagglepuss on weekend update for no other reason than that guy's Snagglepuss impression.

"if you think of it as commentary on TV standards it adds another layer"

What? Ok, yeah, the laughs in the sketch were cheap, but they were also very funny. Also, the dancer sketch. I laughed really hard at the "dance biscuits" line, and, oh my god, I just noticed that they're wearing heels. Awesome. This was a good episode.

The first rule of anybody rapping is rhythm, in which these old people epically fail.

Well, I guess all I can say is yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. Very well put, all of you. And Kieth Olbermann.

I just realized that Nuggets wasn't a band. Wow, I'm real up on things. My bad.

Hey now, I still like The Hives. Even though their latest is a bit less than great...

Anyway, if this guy has a case against The Hives for taking his riff, then The Hives have a case against themselves, and The Nuggets also have a case against them. I'm not quite sure what I'm getting at, but I guess I mean that The Hives are pretty much unoriginal, and everybody knows that, and nobody really cares, because The Hives are great at what they do. This guy's band (with a TERRIBLE name. Both of them.) stopped existing almost 10 years ago. He just wants money and he's too lazy to work for it. Why else do people sue these days?
