Oh man. I feel okay downloading it because I'm getting it via iTunes and the limited edition vinyl. It's driving me crazy that the official track name is "Sink Ships" instead of "Sinking Ships." What the fuck? I love that they've finally managed to capture The Cardinals' live feel on a studio album. For months I've been listening to straight up bootlegs because they sound so much better. That'll be changing. "Magick" is INSANE. I can't pick a favorite track.

These songs are actually written/performed by lead guitarist Neal Casal. They've been setlist staples for awhile and are on his album No Wish to Reminisce which came out a year or two ago. And yeah, the new songs are outstanding. "Cobwebs" might be one of the best things he's ever written, "Fix It" gives off a great Dead vibe, and "Magick" just fucking rocks. I'm still insanely jealous, I have to wait another month to see them.

This makes Tina Fey's "I'm going to tell everyone I'm voting for Barack Obama, but actually vote for John McCain" line on 30 Rock all the more appropriate.

I just heard that the director of Lakeview Terrace is the same visionary behind the Wicker Man remake. This solidifies the movie as a future classic.

Do elaborate.

The new Samuel L. Jackson movie Lakeview Terrace looks like our next great unintentional comedy. The preview was getting laughs throughout when it ran before both Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder. "I'm the po-lice, you HAVE to do what I SAY!"

))<>(( Forever.

According to the comments on the video, $20 "Liberian tender" is all of about 31 cents American. That's outstanding. .999 Silver leaf. "A silvery tribute to all who were lost on that tragic day."

This commercial is always on G4. Fucking hilarious. "On the front, the frosted towers stand out against a mirror-like background, much as they did in the gleaming sunlight of that fateful morning"

I was thinking the exact same thing, although I can only recall seeing it for Pineapple Express. Good idea in theory, lousy execution.

Anyone else a fan of Flight of the Conchords? It really grew on me. The first few episodes I was watching just for the music videos, but the second half of the season was tremendous. Rhys Darby (Murray) and Kristen Schaal (Mel) were consistent scene-stealers throughout the season. The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room

I think I'm going some time this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Stan Sitwell was in the movie. And if I hadn't heard Danny McBride speak in the commercials, I wouldn't have recognized him without the mustache. Guy was the best part of Hot Rod (and that is saying a lot).

Completely worth it. You can actually download/stream his shows from earlier this year, because it'll probably be similar to those, with the possibility of some new stuff. He's a lot more laid back than he was years ago, and it's very likely you'll see a 15 minute "Easy Plateau" jam and random stage banter about robots and Diet Coke and Mariah Carey.

I've probably finished Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Game Boy more than any other game. Though most of the times I played it I ended up stealing the bow and arrow from the shop, which made every character call you Thief. Worth it.
