• The Black Keys Release Free Live EP

  My chief complaint about the Black Keys is that they don't release something new every single day of the week, or go on month-long tours of my immediate neighborhood. Thankfully, the Keys released a complimentary four-song live EP earlier this week via their Myspace page, free of charge. A small taste but a taste nonetheless. On this tic-tac of a release is "No Trust," from their sophomore album, Thickfreakness, a pair from Rubber Factory, "Girl Is On My Mind," and "10am Automatic," and

• Shatner Reading Palin vs. Huell Howser Tripping

  Earlier today, Weekly food blogger Lesley McCave forwarded a video from The Tonight Show Starring Conan O'Brien featuring William Shatner reading from Sarah Palin's goodbye, Alaska speech:Its reign as the Greatest Video Ever only lasted a few minutes, however. That's because a scroll through LA Times' television critic Robert Lloyd's appreciation of a certain roving reporter for KCET/Channel 28 revealed Video Valhalla.Ladies and germs, for your consideration, "Huell Howser Tripping":

• Dishney: Disney Profits Drop 26%, Conan O'Brien Laughs

  The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien - Disney CutbacksA few weeks ago, the Walt Disney Company reported a 26 percent drop in profits, thanks to a decline at its many theme parks and media networks like ABC and ESPN.  Conan O'Brien, meanwhile, offered his own suggestions on how Disneyland should handle cutbacks--think Hose Mountain and Mr. Toad's Wild Handicap Ramp.

• Free Crap That Came In The Mail: Lullaby Renditions of Aerosmith

  ​A lot of times "Free Crap That Came In The Mail" is just taking shots at easy targets. Why not? It's, you know, easy. But this installment is actually something sort of cool, that I probably would have otherwise ignored if not for the fact that it (you guessed it) came in the mail.

• The Alley Cats: Friday Night's Barbershop Quartet

  ​In another edition of what this writer's going to call "Free Things to Do This Weekend" (it's unofficial!), So-Cal's own barbershop quartet, The Alley Cats, comes home Friday night with a free concert at Chapman University.  Formed in 1987 at Fullerton College, the group is considered as "America's Premiere Doo-Wop Group" --you may have even seen them perform at Disneyland or in Las Vegas with Jay Leno. There's just something about a bunch of guys in matching suits and top hats, sing

• Conan O'Brien at Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention in Anaheim

  Conan O'Brien has been doing his show on the west coast since June, but it took him until last night to make it to Orange County. Well, technically speaking, this segment was filmed at the Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention at the Hilton Anaheim and Honda Center, which took place June 28 through July 5. But the bit didn't air until last night, so, y'know.As far as "Conan interacts with eccentric folks who take themselves surprisingly seriously" go, it's no "Conan playing old-tim

• 2009 Postseason Throwdown: 26 Reasons to Hate Boston, Bostonians and Other Massholes

  Those rubes in Boston probably find this pretty.​UPDATED WITH CORRECTIONS . . . Before Angel fans can truly hate the Boston Red Sox--actually, if 1986 playoffs didn't do it, nothing will--they must first hate the team's fans, the residents of the town surrounding Fenway Park and the town itself. ​(Along those lines, a Halos cap tip to Village Voice Media Vice President of Blog Stirring Bill Jensen for this apt name for annoying Bostonians: Massholes.
