Just picked up the last Spoon album at Best Buy! Had to ask a sales guy who pulled it from a display. I don’t care what the kids say… you can’t duplicate a “found treasure” retail experience like this by downloading.

Early Bird Special: Jay Leno interviews Jimmy Kimmel for The Jay Leno Show’s 10 @ 10 segment.

The best prank I ever pulled was I told a guy that—five years from now—I’m gonna give you my show. And then when the five years came, I gave it to him, and then I took it back almost instantly.

Boom! Roasted.

Ode to Garrison Keillor

I just read Abe Sauer’s wonderful piece about Garrison Keillor, mortality, and A Prairie Home Companion, a radio program that’s always been close by to me. It makes me feel fortunate that I was able to see it live a few times at the Fitzgerald Theater when I was growing up in MN. Well worth a read.

Space Chair

A new TV ad for Toshiba features an orange chair embarking on a 98,268-foot assent to the edge of space. Unbelievable.
