As someone who loyally records and watches Saturday Night Live, I think that the show has really been improving this season.  With the noted exception of January Jones, who I believe was voted worst host in the last 20 years or something like this, the season this year has been pretty solid.

I was reasonably impressed with Joseph Gordon Levitt, though there was a bit too much singing for me, and Taylor Swift did nothing to make me like her less, so that's not too bad. Ryan Reynolds and Drew Barrymore both did well, with a great cameo by Scarlett Johannson in a solid "Porcelain Fountains" redux.

And who the hell is Blake Lively? Shit, I would have been happy watching that ep on mute.

Anyhow, I really laughed hard at the video they did for the KICKSPIT UNDERGROUND MUSIC FESTIVAL.  This was Twittered about by more than a few people, and I guess that it was based on a real video for the 10th annual Gathering of the Juggalos.  This is like OzFest or Lillith Fair for Insane Clown Posse aficionados.  Ha, I am sure there are few ICP fans who would use that terminology.

I have attached both videos for your viewing pleasure.  I do think that with Andy Samberg and the rest of these guys that they have a ton of great ideas for funny TV, but I am not sure if the live aspect is really getting in the way of their success.  Are you watching the show?  Do you like it?  Aren't the videos the best part?

Holler back.

Still chopping up the audio from my interview with Ezra Furman, of Ezra Furman and the Harpoons fame, but I hope you will enjoy the piece I should have together tomorrow here on the site.  Will feature images, audio and thoughts from the conversation I had with the man himself an hour or so before his band played at the Double Door last Friday night.  Good show, great conversation.  Hope you check back.

What can I say: you won some, you lose some.

 Also, these guys took advantage of the special on bluetooths outside the Daley center.

Jimmy B and I went for a great ride on Friday night.  Yes, it was part of the night riding series.  Yes, we did have a great time and covered at least 20 miles.  No, nobody fell down go boom.

In this photo, I think I saw some type of Hollywood starlet or submarine sandwich off in the distance that I was looking at lovingly.  Honestly, I would have made a move on either had one actually presented itself at this hour.
