I’m half Irish and tan like it. I dig ABBA and Wham! I’ve been known to bust a move like Elaine Benes.
No one is ever going to mistake me for anything but a white girl.
But just how white am I?
Pretty freakin’ white.
Seriously.
I’ve studied abroad. I do love musical comedy. I’ve suffered one devastating breakup. I [...]

I am banking on Kady Malloy in our "American Idol" pool at work. She was my first draft, followed closely by Brooke White, O she of the Rated-R-less life.
I thought Brooke did a great job with Carly Simon’s "You’re So Vain," and relieves the pressure a bit that my third choice, Jason Yeager (aka Skunk [...]

There are 9 guys hoping David Archuleta gets hit by a bus tonight.
In all my seasons of watching Idol, I’ve never seen a clear-cut favorite this early. He really seems to have this whole thing wrapped up. The audience is packed with fans. The judges love him. Really, if you are any of the remaining [...]

If you’re a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, you have probably seen the musical revelation girlfriend (and Bedford native) Sarah Silverman dropped on him recently.
 
If not, let me share the awesomeness.

Kimmel responded in spectacular form after the Oscars, including a "We Are [...]

I was listening to NPR this weekend and "This American Life" had a really interesting program on testosterone that originally aired about six years ago. In the first segment, a man whose body stopped producing testosterone talked about the changes in him before he knew what was happening. He described it as almost god-like: Everything he saw [...]

Talk about surprising someone with bad news. Garrett never saw what hit him.
Ryan Seacrest. Gotta love him. I wonder whose idea it was to fool a contestant into thinking they were going to be interviewed, but instead give them a pat on the back and say ‘See ya!’ I almost felt bad for Garrett.
I knew [...]

Oh, Simon. You brought cranky to a new level last night. After the watching the show, I’m not sure if you liked anyone. 
The top 12 girls had a harder time with the judges on American Idol on Wednesday. Early favorites like Carly got a lashing from Simon. Dark horse Alaina got more praise than she [...]

Is it just me who found the antics of David Archuleta somewhat annoying on Amerian Idol on Tuesday?
The top 12 men took to the stage in an apparent attempt to find out what color they sounded like (What was going on with Paula last night?)
Well, Michael Johns, the transplanted Aussie, and Jason [...]

I tend to assume that any song by a band considered "classic" by my generation (Ramones, The Clash, etc.) is the original version of the song. I mean, it was the 70s. Music was still fresh and new, everything hadn’t been done yet, so there was no reason to be covering anyone else’s songs, right? [...]

Spoon has put up a new mp3 for download on the bonus section of the band’s Web site.
 
 
So, happy day after Valentine’s Day. Buy yourself some half-price chocolate and enjoy "Paper Tiger" live in Sydney 2005.
You’re welcome.
