Delocated. Comic genius Jon Glaser’s Adult Swim show. If you don’t know who he is, you are advised to download his Invite Them Up track.

Wormdye by Eamon Espey. “Like a visual tour of the concentric circles of hell.” Link.

Why There Are Mountains by Cymbals Eat Guitars. I know nothing about these people, but tracks one and three have their hooks in me.

Perfect Stars by Romantic. Pretty much the only web comic I still read.

Party Down. This is a Starz original series. I am somehow still on board. Link.

"If You Can’t Give Me Everything" by The Reigning Sound. Basically a perfect song. Listen.

Road House. No more explanation should be required. Link.

Animation Show 3
. Highlights are Rabbit by Run Wrake, Carlitopolis by Nieto and Game Over by Pes.

Be Kind Rewind. This movie is terribly cast (Danny Glover notwithstanding) and has a shady premise, but I liked it anyway. Quite the Houdini act. Link.

"Cheese and Onions" by Galaxie 500 (Rutles Cover). Do I have to spell it out? Listen.

Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome by Maria Bamford. Third cd of odd quiet joke stories from the woman of three voices. Link.

“Up the Junction” by Squeeze. Dude blew it. Listen.

How To Get Ahead In Advertising. This is Bruce Robinson’s manic follow-up to Withnail & I (which I would also recommend). You will be hard pressed to find a better movie about talking boils. Link.

A Houseguest’s Wish by various. An album comprised entirely of different bands covering the Wire song “Outdoor Miner.” An inspired concept! Link.

Human Giant. Quality sketch show on MTV. Tone down the title sequence, guys. Link.

Rubber Necker 3 by Nick Bertozzi. First thing I’ve read by him. Link.

“Hot N Cold” by Los Colorados. Amazing Ukranian Polka cover of a Katy Perry song. Thanks to Roman for sharing. Listen.

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. I’m sure this guy is going to take a beating. I just want to be on record as having liked the first episode. It didn’t feel toothless in any way. Andy’s back. The running sequence was oddly touching. Ferrell was funny. So help me I even liked the Pearl Jam song. Watch.

Watership Down. Animated movie from the 70s about rabbits. I have no idea how this thing eluded me until now. Link.

COMEBACK CURIO

Eastbound & Down. This is a show starring the apparently well-liked actor Danny McBride as a burnt-out former pitcher who is forced to move back to his hometown and teach gym. Terrible premise. That sounds like the sort of movie someone would invent in thirty seconds to make fun of Billy Bob Thornton. HOWEVER…after all six episodes I am upgrading this show’s status from “pretty shaky” to “worth watching.” I will call it a comeback if I want to. Link.
