I think this is for today (11.6) ONLY. So hurry and listen to what I’ll be rocking instead of the usually Holiday fare: Tori Amos’ Christmas Album MidWinter Graces on IMEEM.

Sorry, I haven’t been posting a lot this week. I don’t know if it was me or if there was just nothing really of note out there this week. Either way, here’s something worthy: Download a live ep from the Pixies for FREE! Here’s the details

Here’s a wrap-up of the True Blood panel that happened this week, including a twitter diary by @Televisionary:

Or @Televisionary‘s Tweets during the panel:

• At the #TrueBlood writers event @PaleyCenter. If anyone else is here, come say hi!
• Alan Ball says he is not a fan of stunt casting. So, no Snoop Dogg then. #trueblood
• Ball says he is having so much fun writing for #trueblood that he’s waiting for the other shoe to drop & find he has to write procedural.
• Ball says it was Episode 5 where #trueblood really clicked.
• Nancy Oliver says that she feels very lucky to be on HBO. Ball once again says “vampires are sex.” it’s meant to be adult and raw and real.
• Ball admits being in the room and saying, “Come on, can we get his shirt off? It’s Louisiana, it’s hot.” #trueblood
• Metaphors on the show are just “fun window dressing,” but they are not the main point of the show or the heart
• The humor on #trueblood is not because the writers want to plug in a joke but because the actors play it straight the humor is unexpected.
• Alexander Woo says that #trueblood fan are the best looking fans in the world
• Ball says he really enjoys writing fit Jason and Lafayette. Tucker says Jessica and Hoyt. Buckner says ERIC. #trueblood
• Look for major Skarsgaard nudity in te first episode of Season 3.#trueblood
• Ball regretted killing Gran but said it was necessary and the right decision. He shrugged when asked about Eggs. #trueblood
• Ball said Maryann is DEAD. #trueblood
• Stephen Moyer will not be marginalized though Bill and Sookie will have some major problems, possibly longer than Team Bill would like.
• SPOILER! Eric will get amnesia in Season Four, said Ball. #trueblood
• Look for more Nan Flanagan in Season 3.
• Pam will have a lot on her hands in Season Three. #trueblood
• “We had a vampire in the White House for eight years.” – Ball #trueblood
• Godric will be back via flashbacks
• Look for Season Three to launch around June

A classic and one of my favorite shows. It still makes me laugh! Here’s the infamous Halloween Bungholo episode of MTV’s Beavis and Butthead

USA Today has two articles featured the supernatural beings.

• The first, if you ever find yourself turned into a Vampire, Werewolf or Zombies these books might come in handy

• And this sounds exciting – Steven King is on board for a series of comics about the evolution of vampires due out in March 2010!

Either I was being lazy or didn’t think most things this week warranted an entire post, but now I’m putting all the things that perhaps didn’t deserve a post into one big one. Hopefully the sum will equal post worthliness. Anyway, here it goes…my twitter week in review:

• Have you seen Dean Haspiel’s drawings of HBO’s Bored to Death. I think I like the series better as a comic book, than a TV show.

• Also Neil’s A-Z of Awesomeness creates daily “Hashtag Funnies” – a daily comic based on what topics are treading that day.

• People in San Francisco, Chicago, NYC and Miami are invited to screenings of The Men Who Stare at Goats

• The Avatar Official Trailer is up

• Scrubs is back Dec 1 if anyone still cares about that show.

• Did you know a lego reality show is in the works!

• And finally, I want these for Xmas!

Docs galore!

• The Achievers: The Story of Lebowski Fans
• You Weren’t There: A History of Chicago Punk (1977-84)
• Food Matters – Per the title, what we eat matters. Recommended to me.
• Chanel Chanel - on who else but Coco Chanel
• And finally: Monty Python Almost the Truth

 

 

They Might Be Giants have created CDs for kids and now they’ve added a sing along illustrated children’s book ‘Kids Go!’ to the list. It will be released on Nov. 3. You can win a copy from Largeheartedboy! The book is a fairy tale and it comes with an animated DVD.

One of my faves Metric released the acoustic EP ‘Plug In Plug Out’ today exclusively on Amazon.com. Hear it here
