This guy’s another on the very short list of current Pop acts that I like. The retro thing works for me.

Glee Valentine’s
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
It was great to see Jeff Goldblum on this episode.
This is one of the few shows on TV I can watch enthusiastically. The plots are goofball, obviously. But they manage a few terrific one liners every episode. And the music is terrific.
B-52s Love Shack remake was KILLER.
I didn’t realize until tonight that Naya Rivera and Heather Morris are best friends in real life.

An old curmudgeon, I think antics like this are idiotic. Yer trying too hard, Nicki. 😦

For many years I considered her the most beautiful woman in the world.
SOPA-like Internet piracy laws could be coming to Canada, expert warns
That’s the headline on the Financial Post this week.
There is a behind-the-scenes campaign underway to bring laws such as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the United States northward, warns a noted Canadian digital policy expert. …
The expert is Michael Geist, a law professor at the University of Ottawa. He’s my most trusted source on this issue.
The Conservative government under Harper is tempted by corporate lobbyists — but caves quickly as soon the Canadian public becomes aware of dirty tricks.
Geist is not completely against the latest version — Bill 11 … Here’s a succinct summary of the legislation currently under consideration.

The old music industry is dying. Something new will be taking its place. We want the NEXT music industry to be better, not worse to what we’ve had in the past. 🙂

why I love Glee
I don’t know anyone who disliked Friends as much as I did.
Four Six (Dana had to correct me.) good looking white people whining about their lives. 63 Emmy Awards. That’s my definition of over-rated.
Glee, in contrast, tries to tackle important issues. They did a terrific job on Rachel’s nose.

Glee doesn’t always hit the right note. But when they do, it’s awesome.
… less Hebraic and more Fabrayic …
That mash-up was voted Best Glee Song of All Time by TV Line readers in a July 2011 poll.
