Check out our boy Rob with Fred Amisen at IFC's Q&A at the Apple Store Soho.
Fred and his musician-turned-comedianne counterpart Carrie Brownstein were there discussing their new hit show Portlandia (Fri. 10:30pm. IFC) which is garnering rave reviews from just about everyone - even the
Harvard Business Review.
Weird, huh? I mean, not weird that it's getting rave reviews from everyone but weird that Harvard would--you know what I mean. Just read it.
Too soon? You're right. It is too soon to tell if Portlandia is going to be THAT funny. But based on it's premier episode, it's got the potential to be a killer show.
And yes, fitness legend Jack LaLanne did die (shown here doing FINGERTIP PUSH-UPS!). The man was a tank, and @MarylandMudflap has tweeted a fitting eulogy.
"Jack LaLanne will carry his own casket at his funeral."
It's no secret that we
love Bob Dylan at My Damn Channel, so we were extremely excited to read on IFC.com that it's
rumored Bob Dylan has signed a six book deal, and will continue his enlightening, though typically enigmatic, memoir series "Chronicles". The first volume was released in 2004, so it's been a while since we've had the privilege to enter the mind of Mr. Dylan.
And even though it's just a rumor, we're confident that it's gonna happen. Why? Well, we first heard the news via IFC, who just so happen to have content from their new series "Portlandia" on My Damn Channel.
Coincidence? I think not!
So while we're waiting for "Portlandia" to premiere tomorrow at 10:30pm on IFC, and for the next Dylan volume to come out in who knows how long, enjoy this performance from Sweet Pea Atkinson, a soul singing legend who has recorded with Bob Dylan.
Last week we tried to ride in the wake of MacGruber's publicity wave and this week it's Sex and the City 2. We put THOUGHT into these things, people! SATC2 (do not judge us because we are down with the acronym) and The View favorite Mario
Cantone reads
Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean's autobiography, Still
Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate, and
Political Attacks. Yes. Political attacks. Sigh.
But she is pretty. So there's that.
