Beach Boys Good Vibrations Tour
I posted this once on the music page, but the wonder of cable keeps bringing it around: today on Ovation at noon. A must-see if you have any interest in the Boys; worth recording.

"Responding in character as Borat, Cohen, who is Jewish, said: "I like to state, I have no connection with Mr Cohen and fully support my government's position to sue this Jew."

Forget Saint Paul; forget Tim Leary: the West’s greatest embodiment of the conversion experience is Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The film/TV versions are all but endless, and due to the strength of the story, a lot of them are pretty good. Critical opinion agrees with what my father told me when I was a kid: the British Alastair Sim version is tops, but the tale is effective whether it’s Mr. Magoo’s musical version (now edited because the graveyard scene was too scary for kids) or Bill Murray’s Scrooged transposition. Tonight I’m watching one I haven’t seen since childhood, the 1938 Hollywood version with Reginald Owen, on TCM at 8 tonight.

as far as seasonal viewing, i almost always watch the nyc marathon but i prefer the womens race to the mens. then all the others: wheel chairs, the blind guy, the burrough champs, etc.

i also usually put on the macy parade in the background. made the mistake of putting the sound up. when did it turn into a review of bad broadway musicals. some pretty bad stuff here.

17 years ago I had this tribute album. Now it’s hagiography, which is to say a Hollywood movie. Network tonight.

Prince Achmed was on Turner Classic Movies. Worth keeping an eye peeled for. Beautiful stuff.

Holy shit. Charlie Rose and Chalabi on PBS. It's a battle of the titans. They both believe themselves so much.

broke down and watched a couple of shows i had tivoed last night. not that i had ever made a conscious effort to stop, just got a little sick of it all. made it about 8 days without the tube. this week im going tivo only and maintaining my sports free viewing. id like to thank the jets for sucking this season which has eased the transition.
