New Sufjan Stevens AND Arcade Fire albums? I think all of the hipsters just had simultaneous orgasms.
Also, I hate to be the nerd, but that press photo is, like, three years old.

Huzzah!

It's a testament to how shitty the sound is in the Tonight Show studio that even Grizzly Bear doesn't sound that good in it.

Any award show that puts Animal Collective against 3OH!3 is a show that I'm not watching.

How is it that so many other albums are better than Illinois? That record is a masterpiece.

Geez, what does New Moon think it is? Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist?

Um...
I love Grizzly Bear and all, and Sean Pecknold is fine, but, to quote the dean, "What in the fuck was that, Kanye?"

No one is saying that Kurt Cobain is super-important, just that it's very disrespectful to his memory to use his image in a way that goes against almost everything he stood for. It's great that Activision are fans and tried to include Nirvana somehow, but not so great that "Kurt Cobain" performs songs by Bon Jovi and Flava Flav. Maybe they should work on that.

Yes, Radiohead does have a best of. It was released last year and you can buy it pretty much everywhere.

I've never read the book, but it's still quite evident that this trailer has upped the ugh factor exponentially.

Also, I don't think there was a better way to end Jeff Dunham's cameo than with the line "All of God's children are terrible" and, of course, the beheading of Bubba J.

Ugh, I missed everything but 30 Rock! TO THE HULU!
In the meantime, my favorite line from that:
Jack: Nobody wants your East Coast, intellectual, left-wing-
Liz: Ugh, just say Jewish. You're taking forever.

Damn you, Internet!
(That was supposed to be a reply to langford. I keep forgetting about that "preview" thing. Fucking internet.)

I take that back, Jeff Dunham is much worse.

Well, of course Mencia was always racist, but he used to be better than simply saying the word "beaner" and talking about how stupid everybody is. But Jeff Dunham wasn't always so awful. In his first special especially, he was a lot more self-aware, and the humor wasn't centered on his puppets just saying things like "He's gay?" and "There's a black man in the White House!". There were actually jokes, and they were funny.
Also, I didn't see that arguement on his Wiki page, but I agree with you. That doesn't work unless he said "I am the worst kind of Texan, y'all." You have my sympathy.

So, Jeff Dunham is GOB, basically. Plus a few more puppets.

Actually, the weird thing about that is, all of them actually were funny at one point. And it was the same point: the time of their first Comedy Central specials. Jeff Dunham's first special is STILL funny to me, and not nearly as offensive as this. When I saw Carlos Mencia's special, I thought his humor was kind-spirited and his conclusion was inspiring (no, really). And Dane Cook's special was... not annoying? Ok, so I'm not sure about Dane Cook, but those other two actually were funny, believe it or not. But they quickly turned into monsters. Hideous, massive, fire-breathing, racist monsters.
Conclusion: Fame makes you an asshole.

Everything he stood for?
He signed to a major label... he played enormous festivals... he had a sense of humor... something tells me that this wouldn't be on his top ten pet peeves list.
