He Backed Off As Well

I have no idea how this video hasn’t made our blog. Since we experienced the opening of Chicago’s newest KU bar - The Crossing - we got to relive the 2008 title game. So in honor of the new bar, the team, the great Bill Self, here is the best player from the Miami Heat hitting the biggest shot during their college basketball career - which none of those players can say.

And since it is the start of the weekend, enjoy this iPod buster.

B.O.B. - Magic ft. Rivers Cuomo

Scissor Me Timbers

This song has been stuck in my head for days, and what's the best way to get a song out of your head? Post it on a blog so you can hear it again.

More TV Talk

I realized that I hadn't contributed to the blog since last Friday so here are some more of my thoughts on the new TV season.

Lone Star
Canceled? Already? Now I have to get over Tyra Collette all over again.

Glee
The music teacher on this show is so annoying that I can't even fast forward through episodes anymore. Looks like I now have 25 extra minutes on my hands on Tuesday evenings.

The Office
I almost completed the Dungeon course on par in Stick Golf during this episode. In my opinion, The Office and Entourage are secretly competing in a game of "Who Can Mail in Their Episodes Faster".

CHIEFS!

New Conan Logo

Tory tried posting this earlier today but he said he was failing, so I wanted to post this and throw the link to all teamcoco’s downloads for the image. I’m a big fan of it. I think it’s young, simple and very unlike Tonight Show way of life of appealing to everyone. I bet it becomes way more recognizable than Jay’s chin drawing for his Big Dog Productions that runs seconds after he claps his hands and thanks his 90’s guest.

Head on over to teamcoco.com for more downloads.

Welcome Back New TV: Community, Modern Family Still Great; Baldwin Still Rules

Having all my fav comedies back makes me - if I may steal Elsa’s phrase from Last Crusade - ‘giddy as a schoolboy'. Community and Modern Family haven’t missed a beat, and I’m still amazed Baldwin didn’t win another award for his portrayal of Jack Donaghy. This guy nails it out-of-the-park every scene. So much in fact, I’ve decided to add a new bit to our lovely blog: Great Jack moments. Now, I’ll try and keep up on it, but it all depends on how fast Hulu gets clips up - and by ‘Hulu’ I mean my VHS tapes because they have two circles right in the center of the plastic rectangle.

Also, this clip will have to tie us over until I get my Frasier meets Dexter show staring O’Quinn and Emerson from Lost as I proposed on 100% (check the hard-hitting piece section to the right).

Happy Wednesday Eve

Enjoy this tid-bit of music for Wednesday Eve. I recently saw them live at the Metro in Chicago on Saturday, and I was very impressed and entertained. Enjoy 'Wet and Rusting' by Menomena. Also on Saturday, came the news that Max Weinberg will not be returning to lead Conan’s band when he returns in November. It appears long-time band member Jimmy Vivino will take over for Weinberg, TVguide.com reports. So sad. I was a big fan of the ‘Max Weinberg Seven’ during Late Night. They played a variety of new and old music and always sounded loud on the TeeVee. But Vivino seems like a good band-leader for the TBS adventure.

Great Buy of the Day

Tory introduced me to this shirt on the website homage.com and it’s a must get for any University of Kansas basketball fan. I highly recommending jamming onto their site and picking it up. Rock Chalk
