<br />
I'm dipping my toe into the Lana Del Rey fracas, with the Sirius XMU version of <i>Video Games</i>. It's been a while since I've seen such a polarizing figure in the music scene. Deep hatred, or deep nerd love, is all I've come across in my LDR experiences, nothing in between. I can only say, for myself, that there is far worse out there in the Pop Spectrum. <br />
<br />
And yes, her attractiveness has undoubtedly made her a target. As well as the fact that she doesn't sit in front of a piano, a la Tori Amos, and perform any instruments. The whole, Lana Del Rey is actually "Lizzy Grant" issue, plus she comes from powerful, parental influence and success, yes, these can all be factors in loathing and ridiculing her, I agree. <br />
<br />
However, you cannot deny the well polished product that is her brand of Pop music. The <a href="http://youtu.be/Bag1gUxuU0g">Born to Die</a> video is an example. Her inevitable skyrocketing success, has just been stamped by an upcoming musical guest slot on SNL in January. <br />
<br />
Check out the Sirius XMU session version of <i>Video Games</i> below. Also check out a collection of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lana+del+rey+troubadour&oq=lana+del+rey+troubadour&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=238l4616l0l4811l23l15l0l1l1l0l601l1435l3-1.1.1l3l0">live clips</a>, when LDR played the Troubadour earlier this month. I must confess, I think a lot of these live clips seem more like a terrible performance at a small town mall, but hey...being a big star is often a work in progress. <br />

I think 2011 marked a new low, in regards to the amount of blogging I've done...but having a baby seriously alters your life, and I welcome it. Look for EENC to get back to as much regularity as possible, in 2012. Despite the lack of posts, it didn't mean I wasn't getting hyped on the new that was out there. I just couldn't resist, so here's my top 10 for 2011:<br />
<br />
10)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob3ktDxAjWI&feature=related">A$AP Rocky "LiveLifeLoveA$AP Mixtape" </a>-- What does Aesop Rock think of A$ap Rocky, I wonder? Either way, I am a fan of this Eazy-E look-a-like hailing from Harlem. Lana Del Rey attempted to add street credit, by saying she's a fan. <br />
<br />
9)<a href="http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/">Arcade Fire's "We Used To Wait"</a> video. -- I went to college with the gentleman who directed this video, amongst Kanye videos also in his resume. So innovative, I couldn't get enough of this when it first surfaced Google Maps.<br />
<br />
8)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIs0vWOpW44">Jay Z + Kanye West "Watch The Throne"</a> -- Having a daughter impeded my wife and I from seeing the 'Throne' tour stop in LA, as I hear we missed a hell of a treat. Consolation: this album, that seems to be the product of two egos keeping themselves in check for a brief while. <br />
<br />
7)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMtWVw2OH1Y">Yuck "S/T"</a> -- Hearing a band make a record that could've been in my adolescent era, along with the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr., etc., makes me have faith in the youth of today. This album, and subsequent deluxe edition sounds so brilliant to me, based on it's familiarity. <br />
<br />
6)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiF1NeDffOE">Portlandia</a> -- The genius of Fred Armisen + Carrie Browenstein was such a pleasant surprise for me this past year. I can't wait for season 2, early in '12. <br />
<br />
5)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ2VaZRkk7s">Forgetters "S/T"</a> -- Blake's newest 3-piece incarnation provided a short 4 song EP, that much like Yuck, felt familiar, but so welcome in my book. Seeing them play at The Echo was one of my live highlights of last year, also. <br />
<br />
4)<a href="http://www.fatpossum.com/products/the-year-of-hibernation">Youth Lagoon "The Year of Hibernation"</a> -- Quiet. Slow building. This record really does lend itself to the band's proclamation, "Music is meant to be listened to, very late at night."<br />
<br />
3)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyBU0JZ3RbY">Drake "Take Care"</a> -- I can't believe this record ranks so high on my top 10. I can't even listen to the album as a whole. But the tracks that do stand out, really, really, really stand out. Judge for yourself. <br />
<br />
2)<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJxxz-Jn6x4">New Look "The Ballad"</a> -- 2011 is the year everyone went Gaga for Lana Del Rey, but this is my personal female sung anthem right here: <br />
<br />

First off, DJ extraordinaire <a href="http://djztrip.com">Z-Trip</a> will be at the graciously restored Hollywood Palladium tonight, for the L.A. installment of the Rock Boxx Tour, featuring De La Soul, Nosaj Thing, and Daddy Kev. Tickets are still available at <a href="http://www.livenation.com/event/090046B0970873F8?artistid=849392&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=3">Live Nation</a>. Should be a wild party at the Palladium, as Z-Trip's live skills makes Girl Talk look like a robot...wait, I mean a Jive Turkey. Visit Z-Trip's <a href="http://djztrip.com">official site</a>, and check out his free downloads, even as far back, as his groundbreaking Uneasy Listening collaborations. <br />
<br />
Check out an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFVuESLGWTA">interview</a> from last year, with FestThis.com, with Z-Trip. About 1:01 into the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFVuESLGWTA">interview</a>, a great mix of Z-Trip combining Jane's Addiction and M.I.A. <br />
<br />
And the other worthwhile event tonight, takes place at Pehrspace. Buddies of this blog: <a href="http://www.cardboardlamb.com">Cardboard Lamb</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thehealthclubmusic">The Health Club</a>, and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Franco-Near-Death/102629447723">Franco Near Death</a> will be joined by local L.A. good guys, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/georgeglasses">George Glass</a>. <br />

Here's a new track from the forthcoming Beirut album, <i>The Rip Tide</i>. Sure to make all of the critic's and blogosphere's End of Year lists, along the likes of Bon Iver's self-titled release, the album is already riding strong, with the release of the first single, <i>East Harlem</i>. I happen to like <i>Port of Call</i>, the album closer, which feels like it could easily have been on the band's 2006 <i>Gulag Orkestar</i> release.<br />

The Delta Mirror have been compiling a collection of remixes and covers by other artists for about the last year or so. They're ready and available for free download. New life is definitely breathed into the already wonderful <i>Machines That Listen</i>. <br />
<br />
Also included, is a cover of <i>And The Radio Played On</i>, by their Chico, CA buddies, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Delta-Mirror/230649080467#!/theshimmies">The Shimmies</a>. Odd Nosdam, Busdriver, and Blue Sky Black Death, are some of the artists that take a stab at reworking the Delta Mirror.

In the almost four years my wife and I have been together, there have been numerous, oddly coincidental and eerie parallels to Tina Fey's Liz Lemon character on <i>30 Rock</i>, and my own wife. From mannerisms, to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxqycijBUn0">"Night Cheese"</a>, and now the fact that Tina Fey and my wife are simultaneously pregnant, I'm always on the look out for what's next for them to share?<br />
<br />
Prior to this past Christmas, I got the idea to get my wife the necklace Liz Lemon wears on <i>30 Rock</i>, with of course my wife's initials on them. Research led me to <a href="http://www.helenficalora.com">Helen Ficalora</a>, the designer of Liz's necklace. <br />
<br />
I went to the Beverly Hills store, to purchase two, "V" & "G" letter charms, plus one 14K chain. Each alphabet charm disc cost $145, and the chain was $85. I'm not ashamed to admit that in this downward spiral of an economy has left my once respectable wage earnings, to something I'd never imagine I'd have to live off of, much like many Americans in this country. <br />
<br />
So, the grand total of $375 + tax I would have to spend at Helen Ficalora was something I'd been saving for, for a couple of paychecks, before Christmas. Enter my journey to the Beverly Hills Helen Ficalora store. It's a well lit, quaint but elegant, boutique store. The help was friendly upon entrance. <br />
<br />
The woman who ended up ringing me up at the register seemed frazzled. We all have our off days I thought, so no big deal. "Your total for today will be, five hundred...", she went on to say. My mind shut off at this point. Was there a higher sales tax in the wonderful city of Beverly Hills? I already felt like the prostitute version of Julia Roberts in <i>Pretty Woman</i>, upon entering the store...I don't do much shopping time in the 90210. <br />
<br />
As my credit card was being processed, the young lady could not get over the confused and distraught look on my face, and realized I had in fact, been overcharged. She realized her mistake, and said she would simply refund the overage amount. I asked if it would be easier to refund the entire amount, and start from scratch, but she insisted this is their protocol. Long story short, she refunded the incorrect amount(which was less than what was stated on my invoice), which later caused me an overdraft charge. The refund process had also caused a suspension of funds at my bank (the week of Christmas shopping), and I was leaving the store with a bevvy of receipts, that looked like I was about to participate in a ticker-tape parade. <br />
<br />
Well, I had taken to <i><a href="http://www.yelp.com">Yelp</a></i> to relay the mishaps of my experience, to warn other HF shoppers, and even wrote the store manager an old-fashioned, mailed letter. Neither of which garnered a response. <br />
<br />
Two weeks ago, I received a voicemail from a woman claiming to be Helen Ficalora. She wanted to speak to me personally, regarding what had happened. I told my wife, and her response was, "Yeah right. Mrs. Fields just sent me an email for that bad batch of cookies we bought last week." It turns out, one of Helen's children had been reading the responses at their various locations on Yelp, and passed word of what I'd written onto Helen herself. <br />
<br />
Any person who has a spouse, knows that an opportunity to prove their spouse's doubts wrong cannot be passed up, so I called Mrs. Ficalora back. It was in fact, the real Helen Ficalora. She was genuinely apologetic, incredibly gracious, and a wondeful listener. She made no excuses for what went wrong, but really compelled me to commit to the rare excercise these days, of forgiveness. I was truly humbled that someone of her stature would take the time to reach out to me, directly. And listen to me. If only more business owners had the kindness of Helen Ficalora. And, the ability to understand that every employee is a direct representation of their image as a business owner. <br />
<br />
Also, Helen graciously sent me a check to cover my overdraft expenses. And to boot, she sent me a little something extra, when she heard it was my wife's birthday coming up, as well. The truth is, she didn't have to do any of these things, but yet she wanted to. And did so, without any pretenses. She even confessed that she had "been dreading contacting me for quite some time", as my Yelp review conveyed an impression of me being fairly irate. Her honesty was incredibly refreshing. <br />
<br />
The fact that someone of her stature, took the time to track me down, and call me directly, is something that is truly unheard of these days, and something I will always remember. I will always think of her good gesture, whenever I pass any Helen Ficalora store, look at my wife's charm necklace, or watch Liz Lemon on 30 Rock. Unfortunately for my pocket book, I think our household will be supporting the Helen Ficalora name for quite some time to come, which I will gladly participate in, given Helen's goodwill. <br />
<br />
An exclamation point, to this story for me personally, is this article that I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20144123,00.html">this article in People Magazine</a> a while ago, that can attest to the nature of Helen Ficalora. <br />

I like to pretend there is a magical musical goblin in the heart of my iPod that is in charge of making decisions like playing Gangstarr, preceded by The Velvet Underground, when on the 'shuffle' option. Just to remind me about the opposite ends of spectrums. <br />
<br />
Well, the following two songs came about the other day, and now, I cannot have one without the other. The first song is from the Oscar winning soundtrack score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the highly emotionally stirring, musical salutation to "The Social Network". Check out "Hand Covers Bruise" below, to be immediately followed by...<br />
<br />
"The Passenger Seat" by Death Cab For Cutie. Written approximately seven years prior to the release of "The Social Network", this Gibbard & Company track exists on a very similar musical plane. <br />
<br />
To me, these two tracks are the musical equivalent of the party game where everyone writes down story fragments onto a piece of paper, and they are later put together to form one coincidental, and cohesive story. <br />
<br />
It is important to note, you must listen to these tracks in reverse chronological order, to prove my theory. Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, immediately followed by Mr. Zooey Deschanel. <br />

It's quite rare I get excited for an over the top action movie release, but these trailers for "Battle:Los Angeles" have put me in the proverbial shoes of a fat nerd waiting in line for Comic Con. The wonderful use of the eerie track by Icelandic musician Jóhann Jóhannsson sent me over the edge. According to the movie premise, L.A. is the last line of defense against alien invaders. Thanks for letting us down NYC, and SF! Cue Michelle Rodriguez's <a href="http://readingeagle.com/articlephotos.aspx?id=291517">tough face</a>!<br />

Awesome New Republic, aka ANR, melds all that is good from bands like Menomena, Animal Collective, Yeasayer, and the hey-day era of Depeche Mode. The band is comprised of John Hancock & Brian Robertson, fellow graduates from The Frost School of Music, formerly the University of Miami's music program. <br />
<br />
Unlike this writer, the fellows have taken their practical college education, and applied it to the real world. "Stay Kids" is like a genial by-product of Paul Simon's "Graceland" impregnating Hawthorne, California's favorite sons' "Pet Sounds", with a modern day spin. Check out my favorite track, from an all together great album, "It's Around You". <br />

I hope this one lasts longer than his last project, Thorns of Life, which I quite enjoyed as well. Rather than ramble on about whether or not this new material sounds more like Jawbreaker, or more like Jets to Brazil, I'll let you listen to "The Night Accelerates" below. <br /><br />Blake is joined by former Against Me! drummer Kevin Mahon and bass player Caroline Pacquita. Seems like the same type line up as Thorns of Life, but I haven't confirmed if his bassist was part of the ensemble cast of "The L Word"? <br /><br />One thing I can be certain about is, that Blake continues to build on his prolific punk rock legacy, with this self-titled EP courtesy of Too Small to Fail Records. Forgetters will be playing <a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/snl/Search.action?query=forgetters">two L.A. shows next month</a>. This aging music nerd is left to decide which night he will be attending? The 22-year old version of me, would have no-doubtedly already bought tickets for both. <br /><br /><strong>"The Night Accelerates" by Forgetters</strong><br /><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="335" height="28" id="divplaylist"><param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=13760875-99f" /><embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=13760875-99f" width="335" height="28" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object><br />Download via <a href="https://www.yousendit.com/download/bFlIaXRBYTJLVld4dnc9PQ">YSI</a> or <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/85138461f8112cee/">zShare</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.eareyenosecandy.com ">CLICK HERE</a> for front page and full list of track postings.eareyenosecandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12732597705816489941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565676658370288065.post-70199756788424705902011-01-06T15:49:00.000-08:002011-01-06T16:06:22.027-08:00Swedish PB & J<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_OiOwzvk90GWekZKhNmjYNF8Bo1i2kDNF9wwBtCVfAKHRXrp6ytGy7nyJGeM3lM7Ge8-KK1ADb87KOFc2B7Ll4qXMI4q_Sw6n6nWpaFnMXnOmdZtQoGiyWjBFHR-6Mbze3t3K7JKKfnGv/s1600/bg.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_OiOwzvk90GWekZKhNmjYNF8Bo1i2kDNF9wwBtCVfAKHRXrp6ytGy7nyJGeM3lM7Ge8-KK1ADb87KOFc2B7Ll4qXMI4q_Sw6n6nWpaFnMXnOmdZtQoGiyWjBFHR-6Mbze3t3K7JKKfnGv/s400/bg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559226041413932162" /></a><br />The Swedish trio continue their mission to prove to everyone, that they will be known for being more than just a one hit wonder.

I like The Books. Highlight of this album, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6geOFD-REc">"Free Translator".</a><br /><br />(9)<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Treats-Sleigh-Bells/dp/B003KT3NS4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293579167&sr=8-1">Treats - Sleigh Bells </a>- After hearing what this act was comprised of, my gut instinct told me to dislike this at all costs! Until I heard "Kids" & "Rill Rill".<br /><br />(8)<strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Meet-Me-at-Muster-Station/dp/B003ZZAU3E">Meet Me at the Munster Station - P.S. I Love You </a></strong>- Seeing what these guys look like, in relation to what they sound like, made me scratch my head. Other than, highly approve. <br /><br />(7)<a href="http://www.amazon.com/First-Four-Eps-Box-Set/dp/B0045OQF60/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1293579437&sr=1-3">First Four Ep's - OFF!</a> - This punk rock all star team puts out 16 tracks, each clocking in under 2:00 minutes. Nostalgia is nice. <br /><br />(6)<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=national+high+violet">High Violet - The National </a>- For me personally, I enjoyed this more than their last release. Dark never sounded so comforting. <br /><br />(5)<strong>The Brutalist Bricks - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists</strong> - I was fist-pumping to this one all year. Ted makes NJ proud. Highlight song on this album for me, was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbfSEhADK1U">"Bottled in Cork". </a><br /><br />(4)<strong>Halcyon Digest - Deerhunter </strong>- I've always thought Deerhunter was an acquired taste, that took a little effort to really appreciate, as far as full albums go. I quite enjoyed this one though, and a few tracks even made my father question' <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sgNGgJPLVc">"What's this?"</a><br /><br />(3)<strong>Majesty Shredding - Superchunk</strong> - The much needed album from one of my favorite bands of all time, was highly welcomed in 2010. Mac & Co. showed they certainly still had the chops that I grew up hearing. <br /><br />(2)<strong>The Suburbs - The Arcade Fire </strong>- The band of Canadians can seemingly do no wrong in my book. The exclamation point on this album, was my <a href="http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/">favorite music video experience of the year</a>.<br /><br />(1)<strong>My Beautiful, Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West</strong> - Yeah, I guess he's kind of an asshole, but Taylor Swift is a whore, no? I only keep up through TMZ. This album just has the goods. Highlight of the album for me, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acji3pBUmdw">"Blame Game"</a> featuring Aphex Twin sample. <br /><br />Did I leave anything out?

With every judgement, there is an exception, and my exception is this <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139797/">Swedish masterpiece</a>. <br /><br />My "I think Vampire shows and movies are dumb" segue leads me to the soundtrack for "Vampire Diaries"...which is some ridiculous looking show on The CW Network, or something like that? The soundtrack features songs from Bat For Lashes, Placebo covering Kate Bush, Goldfrapp, and The Gorillaz. It also features the song below, by The Silversun Pickups. Vampy, and charecteristically fuzzy, check out "Currency of Love" below.

The film is described as a Sci-Fi Romance, with two robots in Los Angeles, who find love in one another. <br /><br />The Lost Trees are a fictitious robot band in the film. The band is actually Nick Zinner, Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal, and members of The Moonrats. Sounds complicated enough? Check out the site for the short film <a href="http://www.imheremovie.com/">HERE</a>.

The first part of their set covered much from the new album, while the band incorporated a healthy mix of songs from "Neon Bible" and "Funeral". <br /><br />The band overcame some early technical difficulties, which set the tone for Win to be pretty loose most of the night. He even took a light-hearted jab at our own L.A. Lakers, but prompted the band to start 'Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)' before any audible response or disapproval from the audience could permeate the crowd. <br /><br />Overall, the band was as entertaining and provoking as the previous times I've seen them. While I'm about to sound like an enormous dick for taking offense to people having a good time, to the people who were dancing as if they were in one of the terrible clubs on the Sunset Strip, don't act surprised when you get made fun of when you're showing off those moves in a context that doesn't match to the tune of songs like 'Intervention'. <br /><br />The band was great, but the venue was a pain in the ass to get to, and the mainstream appeal of a band like the Arcade Fire cannot prevent people who drive large trucks with Dave Matthews Band stickers plastered on them, from clogging the very same streets the USC kids and concert goers needed to access to get to the show. 'A' for effort, 'A' for performance, 'C' to the Shrine for being the Shrine. <br /><br />Check out 'Earthquake' from the new Deerhunter album, "Halcyon Digest" below. Available now from the always wonderful <a href="http://www.4ad.com/deerhunter/news/~halcyon-digest/">4AD Records</a>.

In the last year, I've gotten married, bought a house for the first time, thrown around the idea of making babies, and stood pat at my crappy day job. <br /><br />The stream of good music has been consistent, but writing with frequency has not. That's why I'm challenging myself to write for the next 30 days, with 30 songs in tow. Any lapse in days will be made up in the next day I write...I will do my best to avoid 29 songs in one post, 29 days from now. <br /><br /><strong>ARCADE FIRE at The Shrine Auditorium</strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9HRL844Eaf0yLLOkVmFYGnkiLc6TL6mGhSnYewleSrsLfE-jMIwiOcbWr6LkRrObr_cwEGXAejO3nh6bLU8JEcU5dzx9Grsi67OPrjQ5naxLSGsex-AHL3sm2EnGce0ZrbRDgtCSJxoE0/s1600/large_arcade-fire2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9HRL844Eaf0yLLOkVmFYGnkiLc6TL6mGhSnYewleSrsLfE-jMIwiOcbWr6LkRrObr_cwEGXAejO3nh6bLU8JEcU5dzx9Grsi67OPrjQ5naxLSGsex-AHL3sm2EnGce0ZrbRDgtCSJxoE0/s400/large_arcade-fire2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525410469484861346" /></a><br /><br />Tonight, the Arcade Fire will open a two night stay at L.A.'s historic Shrine Auditorium.

Last night, FOX unveiled their return to smart comedy, by premiering two new shows, Raising Hope and Running Wilde. <br /><br />Running Wilde comes from the creator of Arrested Development, and stars Will Arnett, aka GOB Bluth, also aka Mr. Amy Poehler, and that chick from Felicity and the Noxema commercials. The premise involves Arnett as a grown up, rich kid who can buy everything he wants, except that lost teenage love...enter Felicty's Keri Russell. It's like an American 'Arthur'. David Cross made a cameo last night, and I look forward to seeing more of the far fetched hilarity, to see what this series has to offer. Visit their official site <a href="http://www.fox.com/runningwilde/">here</a>. Running Wilde is on Fox, Tuesday nights at 9:30pm. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjssgG6emqtbFm33A_lOBG84TMkSfMOFlyQJINeY1wsqHpmv1V-C8lZjoUn7ljM15TY1MCzEfY36b2SeKOTjPKAbdaQxfV87ZN8NhhDfWOE6nirIhk7azpjPVMNmIHgrqW_cj27gpQdDcOf/s1600/wilde.bmp"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 140px; height: 199px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjssgG6emqtbFm33A_lOBG84TMkSfMOFlyQJINeY1wsqHpmv1V-C8lZjoUn7ljM15TY1MCzEfY36b2SeKOTjPKAbdaQxfV87ZN8NhhDfWOE6nirIhk7azpjPVMNmIHgrqW_cj27gpQdDcOf/s400/wilde.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519838723587757474" /></a><br /><br />In the preceding 9:00pm slot, Fox also premiered Raising Hope. The premise involves the main character, Jimmy Chance, raising a wedlock baby he made with a female crime spree murderer, who gets the electric chair, leaving Jimmy to raise 'Hope' on his own, with the help of his kooky family, played by Keanu Reeve's girlfriend in Parenthood, Martha Plimpton, Cloris Leachman as his senile great grandmother, and his father is played by <a href="http://www.garret-dillahunt.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Garret-Dillahunt-in-The-Road-2009.JPG">this scoundrel, in The Road</a>, Garet Dillahunt. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLy3s6ZM5L8UErz8_R27-c7dbNof6iFc17PaBMGbv3OKQsgKticCDb4k7cUDyCm6hntXJmAdnB5YF-vq88_uw3zmFTjP4Ib36C9S4yAQcOrjwnZDoyX-6a6sE0kHkZSrtH1Jt6i9xDYMxs/s1600/raising-hope-cast-photos-02.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 252px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLy3s6ZM5L8UErz8_R27-c7dbNof6iFc17PaBMGbv3OKQsgKticCDb4k7cUDyCm6hntXJmAdnB5YF-vq88_uw3zmFTjP4Ib36C9S4yAQcOrjwnZDoyX-6a6sE0kHkZSrtH1Jt6i9xDYMxs/s320/raising-hope-cast-photos-02.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519839578996441986" /></a><br /><br />This unconventional comedy involved projectile vomiting onto baby 'Hope', antiquated baby car seats violently rolling around a back seat, and raver pacifier gags...what else can you ask for? Raising Hope airs Tuesday nights on FOX, at 9pm. <br /><br />Enjoy these two shows while you can...we all know what the execs at FOX did to Arrested Development, after all. <br /><br />And for my best music news of the Fall, Superchunk have released "Majesty Shredding", on <a href="http://www.mergerecords.com/artists/superchunk">MERGE</a>. Mac and company can do no wrong in my book. Check out "Fractures in Plaster" below.
