I guess she’s not really a new artist, per se, but she’s new to me. Check out the video for “Goodnight and Go,” from her Speak for Yourself album. Thanks to Tiffy for the heads-up on her.

Not sure what made me think of this, but for some reason that god-awful Tori Amos Daily Show interview popped into my head today. I thought it might be on YouTube, and, sure enough, it was. Now, my friends will attest that I am a HUGE Toriphile, as well as a HUGE Stewartphile (there’s not really a cutesy name for Stewart fans…I guess we can just go with “Democrats”), so this interview was terribly disappointing for me, and really tested my allegiance to Tori. I still love her, though, so I’m throwing the “Sorta Fairytale” video on here, too.
Update: Am I absolutely crazy, or is the guy in this video Adrien Brody?
I don’t know why I’m in such a nice mood lately, but I actually think the footage is kind of sweet. Brit had spent a long time being heartbroken over the loss of JT (I know, I know, she cheated on him, but we all make mistakes), and you can almost tell how relieved she is to have someone in her life who makes her happy again.
And when that love high wore off, she had a kid. And then another one. Just keep filling that hole, Brit.
No pun intended.
In mid-2001, Comedy Central began airing a brilliant political satire called That’s My Bush!, developed by South Park’s Matt Stone and Trey Parker. They only showed eight episodes before the show was cancelled in the wake of the September 11 attacks, at which point I’m sure the show’s premise seemed inappropriate. Over five years later, those episodes are being released on DVD. To commemorate this fabulous occasion, I’m posting some clips from the show.

Here’s the trailer for Freedom Writers, starring Hilary Swank, coming in January 2007. And way to step up the viral marketing, MTV. The IMDB page lists Patrick Dempsey as “attached,” but he’s nowhere in the trailer, and the thing’s gotta be in post by now, so I’m not sure how they’re planning to swing that.

I hate to admit it, but I actually kind of like Jess’s new song, “I Belong to Me,” and I’m digging the video. The emotions look real, and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear she spent a lot of the days on the set crying real tears. It’s the first time in a long time I’ve been able to look at her as an actual person, and get a sense of the hell she’s been through this year. It’s a positive message, and she carries it well. Props, Jess.
Nick’s isn’t bad, either, although it sounds more manufactured than Jess’s, and I am really, really over beach videos. Like, waves crashing? Clouds in fast-mo? Hey Nick, can you give me more generic? Oh! Sitting on a jagged rock, staring out into the water? Perfect. You forgot to intersperse it with shots of yourself sucking on a mic in a recording studio, but beyond that, genius.
And they both used muted colors. Oh, the angst.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the six-minute Gap commercial that is JT’s “My Love” video.
From last week’s episode of The Office. Somehow, it gets funnier every time I watch it.
