H. B. O.
Curb...Sex...The Sopranos...Deadwood...Carnivale...The Wire...Extras...Big Love...Rome...Entourage...Flight of the Conchords...(John from Cincinatti is still on probation)...All my favorite TV shows from one channel. I like it, I love it, I can't live without it.
Rewatching the first season of Curb Your Enthusiasm now, and it's Sunday which means tonight is the greatest night of all: HBO night!
More to come...John from Cincinatti is in a win it or lose it situation. After that last episode they are set to be either the most brilliant or the most ridiculous thing in television. We'll see.
Just like Billy Walsh doesn't make movies, he makes films...It's not TV, it's HBO.

It's Alive, Bitches!
My blog, like dread Cthulhu, slumbered until the stars were right again. Well now they're right! And what words shall be the first to come leaping from my mouth? A comment on last weekend's Live Earth.
I know liberal agenda blah blah, inconclusive scientific evidence blah blah, big government blah blah, anti-industry blah blah, Kyoto blah blah, new home of international communism blah blah blah. The point is, there's politics and there's what's important. Those folks threw a big rock show, maybe we shouldn't ask too many questions about why. As a conservative who like hippy music, I can tell you that's a good skill to have. Because nevermind NRO's "Top 50 Conservative Rock Songs," if you want a concert rather than just a playlist you'll need an actual conservative band if you can't separate the music from the activism. That leaves us with Ted Nugent and um...Ted Nugent, and...uh....is Bruce Willis in a band?
So yeah, you see. If you like music you must put up with liberals. And it's even like the causes are controversial, just idealistic. Why does it have to matter? Does anything relating to the National Kidney Foundation affect how good of a time you have at the Chili Cook-Off? Trust me, it's not kidneys on your mind there.
So what if Live Earth wastes more energy than it saves? What if Live 8 won't end poverty in Afirca? If Bob Geldoff and Al Gore and people like them want to get up on stage every summer with a string of huge benefit concerts from now until the sun burns out (there will probably be a benefit for that too), more power to them. As long they keep putting on annual once in a lifetime, hauling legends out of retirement, if you build it they will come rock concerts, I will personally
help them pass out a bowl of corn and a subscription to Time Magazine to every starving child in Africa if it keeps them interested. So please, shut up about the pamphlets they pass out and just enjoy the music.
