Better Chatter: Make Em' Laugh
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2009/01/make-em-laugh.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Just wanted to clue you loyal fans in on the new PBS documentary Make Em' Laugh. Which starts tonight at 8pm EST. Their website describes it as "A six-hour comedy epic showcasing the most hilarious men, women, and moments in American entertainment and why they made us laugh." Sounds good to me. TONIGHT'S EPISODE: "Would Ya Hit a Guy with Glasses? Nerds, Jerks, and Oddballs". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. Bryans 2008 Music Picks. Books, Booze, Eggs.

Better Chatter: July 2008
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 21, 2008. Last night at a barbecue I had a chance to rediscover School House Rock! One of the great tribute albums of my childhood. Much like The Crash Test Dummies' God Shuffled His Feet. I probably played this slightly jokey record about 39 times more than anyone reasonably should have. That being said, this collection, composed of 90's artists putting their own take on the entertaining, if slightly dippy, School House Rock. The real gem remains Blind Melon's "Three is a Magic Number," a s...

Better Chatter: June 2008
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. Dream of Glory on the Mound. With the Detroit Tigers finally playing better, the all-star game coming up, and because there's never a bad reason to share some George Plimpton, I wanted to include a link from the SI Vault (a treasure trove so vast that I've barely touched the season) to an article that Plimpton wrote almost 50 years ago about his experience pitching to a group of major league All-Stars. During a pregame batting contest. S tenure the inner voice refused to stay conta...

Better Chatter: Your Perfect Autumn Music
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008/11/your-perfect-autumn-music.html
Friday, November 21, 2008. Your Perfect Autumn Music. Like many, my introduction to the Vaselines. Was Nirvana's cover of Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam. Listening to Kurt Cobain on that song struck a chord with my young, sad slacker heart. Jesus didn't want ME for a sunbeam either! It's a song about sadness but also about knowing whom you are where you stand. This is exactly what autumn is to me – the cold and dark days get me down but give me a chance to reflect and take stock of myself. Just Give Me the...

Better Chatter: Super Colon Blow?
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008/11/super-colon-blow.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2008. I eat breakfast almost every morning these days, which makes me feel much more awake and really just generally helps to get my day going on the right note. Still, I can't imagine how productive I might be in the morning if I could just eat this cereal:. November 19, 2008 at 3:40 PM. I especially like the "soulful" song at the end of the commercial.

Better Chatter: The Birds Have Landed
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008/12/birds-have-landed.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. The Birds Have Landed. Today is a good day. Those ever-lovable Kiwis, Flight of the Conchords. Have a new season starting in January. Some of us have caught glimpses of them filming in the streets and pet shops of Brooklyn. Fortunately all you lucky fans can watch the premiere a month early thanks to Funny Or Die. PS There's a preview of HBO's new Will Ferrel / Danny McBride. Show East Bound and Down. At the end. So you can get excited about that too. Watch more funny videos.

Better Chatter: August 2008
http://betterchatter.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 22, 2008. Although I'm a latecomer to the Fleet Foxes' much ballyhooed. New album, I did want to take a second to share the song and really interesting video for their song "White Winter Hymnal." I'm not the only one that gets a little freaked out by claymation, right? I'd rather pay you 100 bucks than watch that terrifying Tool video from a few years back. Wednesday, August 20, 2008. The primary elections were already historic, but the many differences between the presidential candidates ...
