My Crush On St. Vincent Grew Three Sizes Today

I am quite fond of Pitchfork's guest list feature. My theory is and has always been, there is no one better to recommend things than people making things you already like. Eek, that's cumbersome. I am also quite fond of St. Vincent (otherwise known as Annie Clark) and her album Marry Me. Though now that I've read this guest list I'm going to be A LOT more into it.

Apparently the album title (once again Marry Me) is not a comment from a mid-twenties gal hungry for commitment. It is instead a reference to the greatest live action television show ever Arrested Development. I smiled and laughed and thought for minutes about how newly brilliant album title was.

Quote Annie Clark: "I only named it Marry Me because I thought Babysit Me was a little too awkward.

I mean it's-- I think, like, really good art is-- you come back to it over and over again and you always get something out of it, you can always enjoy it. And there are so many dimensions to it, there are so many levels to enjoy it. It's like the fucking Mona Lisa, the best-- well, I don't even know if I like the Mona Lisa-- but that's the best thing ever."

I'm glad she went with Marry Me over Babysit Me, subtle and beautiful.

Catch Up With Clark and Michael

WebTV is the idea that has been waiting to pop for a few years now. Seemingly YouTube is the big bang moment of this idea but unless TV for you is an unmitigated version of America's Funniest Home Video it's wanting for some quality control and maybe erm... SHOWS!

Not to worry though boy genius Michael Cera and his buddy Clark have created what might be the greatest WebTV show ever(as faint praise as that may currently be). That show is Clark and Michael. It's for fans of the dry banter of Flight of the Conchords, for people fond of the pregnant pauses and awkward moments of either Office, for fans of Seinfeld's kvetching, and of course for fans of Cera's work on TV's much beloved Arrested Development.

The show follows two guys ostensibly working on getting a television development deal. But really it's a show about two friends always learning to live together. (Like Perfect Strangers.) Thus far there have been 8 episodes and tomorrow is the premier of a new one so what better day than today to do so?

"But Tim," you protest. "I don't have time to watch 8 episodes of anything."

Well what if I told you that each episode topped out at 8 to 10 minutes?! Would that interest you? Cause it should. Watch it HERE!!!! In other Cera news he was very funny on Letterman below.
