Welcome to Hawaii

Here's a great clip from the Rock's appearance last night on Saturday Night Live. Not saying it's 100% accurate, but it definitely hits close to home.

Kanye Tells Stories

Pardon the influx of Kanye West stuff today, but there's no denying that he's got some very interesting projects on his plate. (Via Hypebeast) He recently appeared on VH1 Storytellers with an interesting set that really pushed the boundaries of his performance art. On the futuristic, minimalist set, Kanye laid bare some of the emotion that went into 808's & Heartbreaks while giving us some new interpretations of the classics. Aside from the off the cuff comments on Chris Brown and that shag, a great series of performances and some soul searching from today's hardest working man in the biz.

Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon made his premiere last night replacing Conan as the host of Late Night. I feel like the start of any series is always a bit awkward as everyone attempts to find their footing. The freshness of it all aside, Fallon (who I was a big fan of back on Weekend Update) did a decent job. I did notice that his delivery is more akin to Leno's than O'Brien's, save the paying-people-to-lick-things tendencies.

Favorite line of the night: Jay isn't leaving.

Bye, Bye, Bye

TRL - MTV Shows

MTV aired its last episode of TRL on Sunday after 10 long years of providing afterschool entertainment to millions of teens. An all-star line-up of celebrities, many of whom rode the TRL wave to pop stardom in the late '90s and early '00s, made appearances in a 3-hour-long tribute to the MTV staple. It really is the end of an era.

TV, Not Telly.

Being in the UK, or just out of the United States for that matter, means that I cannot stream full TV episodes from American sites like nbc.com and mtv.com. Apparently, they have their software read your IP Address to determine whether or not you're accessing their copyrighted material from abroad. That means, no new episodes of Chuck, The Office or The Daily Show. Darn. It also means that I've had to get slightly more creative in getting the TV fix that I need. Yeah, I know that I'm supposed to be seeking out local media and immersing myself in all that's British, but frankly shows on the Telly are really not that impressive. I mean, have you seen British Deal or No Deal? Seriously.

Aside from the stuff that I can access via Megaupload and Rapidshare links of blogs, here's a list of the top 3 sites that have been keeping me current:

Any other suggestions?
