The song “Le Disko” by Shiny Toy Guns is really fun. I heard it on both SYTYCD and Real World: Sydney last week, and had to download it. It’s a little throwaway pop song that’s fun for the end of the summer. Speaking of Sydney, why is there no TV Watch for it this season? Or at least some L Word-style PopWatch entries once in a while? I so enjoy EW’s MTV commentary.

Great spot to check out for fans of Broadway musicals. It has clips back to the 1950s.
2)Re-runs of Brothers & Sisters

1) The new season of the Hills. The drama! The clothes! The feeling of absolute hatred for most of the people on this show!
2) The excitement building up for High School Musical 2.
The new season of Weeds started Aug. 13. One of the better, unsung comedy ensembles on TV led by the terrific Mary Louise Parker.
“Talk to Me,” especially the segment about Martin Luther King Jr. It was honestly a flawless 15 minute bit of film. Don Cheadle does such an amazing job, and Chiwetel Ejiofor and Taraji P. Henson are fantastic in their secondary roles. I don’t understand why this film isn’t getting more publicity because compared with crap like “Skinwalkers,” this flick is fantastic.
The new Thursday Next novel!
and Becoming Jane (especially James McAvoy!)

The brotherhood 2.0 website, hilarious especially Hank’s recent Harry Potter song.
Also, Becoming Jane, just charming
1) The start of the EPL (English Premiere League) season
2) Who Knew? – P!nk. Surprisingly moving, supremely catchy for a ballad.
3) Word that My So Called Life is FINALLY getting a (mainstream, affordable) DVD release.
I agree, Jasper Fforde’s newest Thursday Next novel.
I’m with those who nominate the new Thursday Next novel, First Among Sequels. Can’t wait for Second Among Sequels.

VH1′s Mission: Man Band. I cannot visualize the universe in which this musical venture will succeed. But watching these four guys fight alcoholism, leukemia, lethargy and arrogance all for a second chance at success makes a relatable, funny, surprisingly touching show.
The Distant Future EP by Flight of the Conchords. This cheers me up whenever I listen to it. Please renew the show, HBO!
