The VibeFrom the makers of The Voice, you can’t judge talent with your eyes. Or ears. Or any of your other senses. Featuring: Lisa Loeb, Bobby Brackins, DJ Mike Catherwood, and Chuck Wicks
Here’s a fun “Voice” sketch I wrote. I was moody in the mid-’90s, so for me it doesn’t get much better than Lisa Loeb. I’m pumped she agreed to be in it. Drop what you’re doing and listen to “Stay” again right now.
I was randomly watching VH1 classic in my hotel last night and I caught an amazing moment on That Metal Show. Go to 9:50 and watch as they transition out of the act and into commercial. Things that crack me up about this.
- Bass solo
- The post-clapping awkwardness
- Audience members nodding along
- That AMAZING shot of a the girl dancing (?)
Nice find, Street! Hotel rooms are ground zero for basic cable WTF-ness. I’m imagining the producer going, “Seriously, a solo bass player house band is PERFECT!”
President Obama’s State of the Union address was this week, and the New York Times compiled one of those cool word clouds counting the number of times he said certain words and phrases. It’s really illuminating. Check it out!

Sam bought that for himself this morning. Waited in line 10 hours.
New Yorker Folk! Tickets are still available for CollegeHumor Live this Thursday at 9:30, featuring Jamie Lee, Boris Khaykin, Jim Tew and mc chris, who writes awesome songs like this one, which a kid (who I don’t know but already like) has uploaded along with his phone number, “just to see who would call.” Get more info and RSVP here.
Seal and Heidi Klum are getting a divorce. I saw Seal in Whole Foods this weekend and this court document fell out of his bluejeans. It divides their assets. Turns out they have the same normal ol’ relationship problems the rest of us do. Here’s who gets what!
Obama singing, pre-autotune
This is my singing voice. It’s also what I sounded like in jr. high.
