“It’s like there’s a gap. For the first couple years that you’re making stuff, what you’re making isn’t so good, okay … it’s not that great. It’s really not that great. It’s … it’s trying to be good, it has some ambition to be good, but it’s not quite that good. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game — your taste is still killer.”

Tonight……. New York Comedy Festival - Mike Birbiglia...

Tonight…….

New York Comedy Festival - Mike Birbiglia at Town Hall. It was pretty cool. He had a surprise band open. I was on pins and needles wondering who it was and very delighted to find it was Mates of States. Mike as usual was funny. He told my favorite funny story and one the many baby daddies I have was there……Ira Glass….with his lady (lame). My friend and I were getting a bit stalker-ish with very little success. This is the 3rd time I have seen Mike Birbiglia and love his comedy. He has great little stories that are a little sad and endearing but always funny.

Side note: The New York Comedy Festival is a huge sausage fest. What’s that about folks? Seriously. Were Sarah Silverman and Maria Bramford busy?

Yeah, folks. I got it and you know what I was thisclose to taking my punk ass down to the signing at Borders today but unfortunately my job owns me from about 930 to 6. I am actually really surprised at how much I love this show even with the minor issues I have with which I hope will work themselves as the show progresses (Mr. Murphy, I get black women are sassy!). But overall for me this is a pretty amazing show and I look forward to it every Wednesday. I mean I would have never thought a mash up of Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life” and Usher’s “Confessions” would be something I would like. Seriously, I think hell has frozen over.

What’s next? Am I going to start listening to Lady Gaga? OMG, that would be scary.

Tonight!!

Ricky Gervais did a special show testing out material for his New York Comedy Festival stint and future tour.

I enjoyed it. His humor is a lot more meaner and dirtier than one would assume but not all the surprising considering how dark and sad while funny The Office and Extras was.

This totally made up for not being able to get tickets to a screening of Up in The Air with Jason Reitman. Well, not completely but mostly.

Tonight at The Paley Center for Media there was a panel moderated by John Hodgeman with Jonathan Ames, Jason Schwartzman, and Ted Danson. They also showed the season finale of Bored To Death. Where the hell I was? Home watching to To Wong Foo (not that I have a problem with that). I follow the Paley Center on Twitter how fuck did I miss this announcement? I can’t right now.

Trailer - Nowhere Boy

The story of John Lennon and his childhood before The Beatles became THE BEATLES. I am a huge Beatles fan so a movie like this is right up my alley. I won’t lie it looks like a story that has been done before in some shape or form and the cast don’t even closely resemble the band but it doesn’t seem any less enjoyable. Directed by Sam Taylor Wood. Starring Aaron Johnson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Thomas Sangster, David Morrissey, Anne-Marie Duff.

In the theaters December 2009

Jane Lynch

This woman is a whole lot of awesomeness. I love her and everything about her. Even before she was knocking everybody’s socks off in Glee she was stealing the show in almost everything thing she was in. I’m just saying Golden Globes, Emmys, SAGs and everything else inbetween should be showered on this woman. That is all.

“Under the Milky Way” by The Church, from the 1988 album Starfish

And it’s something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

This one of my most favorite songs ever. I think this probably the best song The Church ever did.

“Slow Life” by Grizzly Bear featuring Victoria Legrand (Beach House), from the New Moon soundtrack

I am still trying to figured how this wonderful soundtrack came along. Thom Yorke, St.Vincent, Lykke Li, Grizzly Bear and Beach House making a song together. My mind has pretty much been blown since I heard about it and I am still slightly confused but very happy and will definitely be downloading this album. This track is absolutely wonderful.

“IRM” by Charlotte Gainsbourg

(via britticisms)

I was probably one of the very few people who liked her debut album I didn’t love it. The fact that Beck is producing this album is album gives me very high hopes. Brit mentioned that this track is very similar to something Broadcast would do and I totally agree. I am really loving this track and if it is any indication as to what her second album is going to sound like I am very much looking forward to it.

Black Cab Sessions Chapter 79 - Grizzly Bear perform All We Ask from Veckatimest

I love this series. They have had sessions from Lykke Li, The Futureheads, and Spoon all of which I have posted at some point. So I get excited anytime a new one pops up. Grizzly Bear really sound good in a cab. Who would have thought?

Jesse Eisenberg on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien

He is so awkward and dorky. He also very funny. Genuinely funny. I love it. Though, there has been lots of comparison between him and Michael Cera I definitely think he has a little more personality and is a lot more animated. Thanks to Rgrjnr for bringing this delightful video to my attention.
