TV Shows That I Look Down On But Remain Guilty Pleasures

dear god...it's like you crawled into my [denying the truth] mind and put it all in black and white. good call on L&O and supernanny...can't get enough of that naughty mat, or the way jo says "unasseptable"

I have that CD too!

You know, you made me realize that my list is quite "age-specific". You are comletely right about Queen, but it is an 'older cousin' thing in my books. Interesting...

I think it's everyone owns something by these artists, and usually it's the title listed...in my experience anyway.

Whose line is it?:Lyric Challenge(props to jeffro)

Hmm..is #59 "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues? I may have the title slightly wrong.

highly awaited CDs

alright, this is somewhat off topic, but doesn't it burn you when you wait, with baited breath, for that new album and it sucks? Reference: the latest Weezer album. I mean, it's good, but it ain't no pinkerton, honey!

I have been awaiting the new Cake album too, but the single is less than fetching...I'm scared to pick up the album! That video is pure genius though. Have you heard the new Cake yet? Any thoughts?

canadian musicians i love

I'm surprised that you think that BNL has sold out at all. I have always thought they were such nerdy, self-effacing good ole' Canadian boys that selling out was beyond them, even if they tried. I mean when I see them on stage (keeping in mind they are all mid 30's and married with kids) dancing around like dorks and free-style rapping in ill-fitting leather pants...what can I say. I love them!

Maybe instead of "selling out", they have just lost their zany edge. I have found in the last couple albums those traits that made me love them have waned somewhat. The truly quirky and funny insights or lyrics (like "Barenaked as two virgins hand and hand and hand and hand in glove" or "Dazzled by her smile while I shoplift there") have been replaced with weak workplay or cutesy expressions ("I just made you say underwear"? Come on, Ed!)

I would love to hear about what turned you off my favourite boys. (It's only fair to warn you, the use of the 'u' in favourite, marks me, quite proudly, Canadian!)

Nicely done! All of the above is perfect, which means, umm, carry the four, 16 points! And yeah, Those are the easy ones...but the points still count!

Sarah Vowell - Should I read this author or not?

How suspect...there are four results. I've always said I'm smart enough to break computers, but not use them.

I've seen her on Conan as well, and that is what finally drew me to her. It's something about the way she talks - not her voice, although that in itself is amusing! - but the way she phrases sentences is fantastic.

Thanks for the advice!
