This is a great skit from last week’s SNL featuring Fred Armisen and Amy Poehler as Lou Reed and Patti Smith riffing on the demise of CBGB. Since it’s on YouTube, I’m sure NBC will smack it down pretty quickly — so watch it while you can…

Fresh Episodes
So, Gilmore Girls is back — and after watching the season opener, I’ve gotta say that I’m mildly pleased with the show under its new management. The Rory/Lorelai interplay is still mostly there, and that’s one of the things that keeps me coming back. Some of their conversations missed a little of that Amy-Sherman Palladino sparkle and pop, but I enjoyed pretty much every scene that they shared.
Rory: How can you not have ice?
Lorelai: You know I don’t cook!With that being said, the show’s going to need to work a bit harder to keep me watching. I don’t care how much of the hots I have for Lauren Graham — or how clever I think the writing can be — I seriously can’t take much more of this broody Lorelai crap.
I’ve invested enough time in this show that I honestly hope that they can keep me watching. If they don’t, it’s quite possible that they’ll end up losing me to House.

Scheduling Conflicts
It’s no secret that I loves me some “Gilmore Girls“. So while I’m excited to see the show come back, I’m also sad that I have to make a choice between it and “House” as of next week.
I guess BitTorrent and my brother’s roommate’s TiVo will have to fill in the blanks for me…

The White Stripes Vs Bart Simpson
As always, YouTube picks up the slack to show me the bits of TV I wish I hadn’t missed. While it’s nice to see Meg and Jack doing a clever little cameo, I can’t help but think this feels a little too much like a Family Guy style tangent for me to call it genius. *shrug* Whatev.

Like A Virgin
I’m not sure how I feel about the concept of a Reservoir Dogs Video Game, but I’m pretty sure that this commercial kicks loads of ass.
P.S. This is totally NSFW — that is, unless your workplace is down with a advert containing a granny saying “dick” a lot.

Ambition
Fuck writing the great American novel, I want to write the great American TV pilot.

Let’s Post It Out, Bitch
Summer TV can be sort of abysmal, so I’m really glad Entourage is back. Between OnDemand and reruns, I must have watched the first two seasons at least six times each since the show went into hibernation for the winter back in September of last year.
Since I know that I only have a few months worth of new Ari Gold related dicketry and Johnny Drama/Turtle insults to soak up, I’m going to appreciate them while I have the chance. I’ve already watched last week’s season opener four times in the last week. And I’m sure I’ll throw tonight’s episode on a few times over the course of this next week.
What can I say? I’m sort of addicted.
Now that I’ve got that all of that gushing bullshit out of the way, how much of this season are we going to blow on Aquaman? I mean, not that it matters or anything — I just want to find out what the fuck happened with Queens Boulevard. And if they could let us know how the whole Turtle managing Saigon thing is going too, that’d be sort of nice…

Mash Ups Go Mainstream
Maybe it’s just me, but did anyone else find it a bit weird to hear Go Home Productions “Rapture Riders” on Alias tonight?
I know it’s on Blondie’s “Sound and Vision” and everything, but I remember when I downloaded that track off his website well over a year ago. It’s just sort of a trip for me to hear a mash up that I’ve listened to a whole bunch on a TV show I used to watch obsessively.
What’s next, Party Ben‘s “Boulevard of Broken Songs” making an appearance on Gilmore Girls?
P.S. Unlike Sean, I was happy that the bomb in Will’s brain didn’t go off.
