The Fall of Entourage



Attention Entourage viewers. I am sad to say that we are witnessing the demise of one of our favorite TV shows. Seasons 1 & 2 were great, but it's gone downhill ever since.

Here are some reasons:

1) The main reason is the Billy Walsh character. I haven't hated a television character this much since Dawson Leery.

2) We now have 2 teams. Turtle & Drama v. E & Vinnie Chase.

3) Ari should be more of a focus. He's the best part of the show.

4) Since when did Ari have a son?!

5) What happened to Turtle's love interest? One episode she's there. The next episode she's gone.

6) Where's the conflict? What's next? I really don't see much conflict and I definitely can't see where this is going. Academy Award? Who cares?!




Ok. Now on to the music.

Since I haven't posted for almost a week, I thought I'd share some music that's been in the rotation recently.

Rilo Kiley - The Moneymaker

Shout Out Louds - Impossible (Studio remake)
(Went to the show last Thursday. They closed the show by working in a cover of The Clash's Train in Vain into their song Very Loud. Amazing end to a great show. Check them out!)

Grand Ole Party - Look Out Young Son
http://www.myspace.com/grandoleparty
They play a great live show. Very impressive. Check them out if you get a chance!

Tegan & Sara - Back in Your Head
Our favorite Canadian lesbian identical twins are in town from the 24th - 27th. Unfortunately, the shows are all sold out except for today's show at Amoeba.

Cloud Cult - Take Your Medicine
BUY THE ALBUM! Meaning of 8

Editors - Weight of the World
Good album. I'm still trying to decide whether I like it better than the latest Interpol. I'll make a decision soon.

Song of the Day:

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

"You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan / And the next five years trying to be with your friends again."

The following Slate article does a great job of describing this song... enjoy!
