Your favorite TV Time Tracker figured one of those knuckleheads at The Blotter would have already, uh, blottered this, but in case you missed it: Orange County's very own right-wing whackmaster Hugh Hewitt was on The Colbert Report the other night--and he wasn't even being punked like some other recent OC politicos were by a different Comedy Central faux news program. And damn if Baby Hughie wasn't reserved as host Stephen Colbert, who does the second best right-wing whackmaster impression on te
Frequent listeners of Le Show on KCRW (or podcast ... or satellite ... or short-wave radio) know that host Harry Shearer has long had a bug up his ass about broadcast television's midnight Feb. 19 switch from analog to digital signals. Shearer's tales of looming digital woe are generally summed up in a segment he calls "Digital Wonderland." Using anecdotal evidence, Mr. Burns makes the bigger picture point that the Federal Communications Commission-shepherded switc
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. for the Unwigged & Unplugged tour featuring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer. If you're "in the know," those names might sound familiar. If you're not, I'll spill the beans.The trio are the actors who play the key members in Spinal Tap (the film and the band) and "A Mighty Wind."

I took piano lessons for years as a kid. Maybe I should have practiced more (read: at all). We talked earlier this week about piano-heavy bands The Fray and Jack's Mannequin coming to Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, and now Keane (pictured), the English band that's been rockin' the 88 keys in one form or another since 1995 before breaking big in 2004 with "Somewhere Only We Know," are coming to the Grove of Anaheim on May 10. Tickets are $37 (yipes!) and go on sale this Saturday (March 21) at noo
Bet you had pretty much forgotten all about Live, didn't you? Well. They didn't forget about you. Their love is. Like water. They're coming to town, and tickets are on sale tomorrow. And so is other stuff!

Bad news for our favorite unintentional radio comedian, Hugh Hewitt. According to the latest Arbitrends, the audience for the lawyer/pundit/Nixon fetishist/blogger/moralizer/George W. Bush worshiper/professional Vermont boycotter is shrinking right along with Bush and Cheney's approval ratings. Predictable really. This far into Bush's faith-based presidency, with its failures and mounting body counts from Baghdad to New Orleans, people must be wearying of the sort of nonsense that Bush and Hewi
