LOST Spoiled Bastard. "The End." →
“Lost” was a magnificent example of high-brow entertainment, with lots of action, emotion, intriguing puzzles and above all else, a show that had to be watched the very moment it aired. It was the ultimate water-cooler series but it was never on the same level as, say, “The Wire” or “The Sopranos.”

Seize BP →
200,000 gallons of oil a day, or more, are gushing into the Gulf of Mexico with the flow of oil growing. The poisonous devastation to human beings, wildlife, natural habitat and fragile ecosystems will go on for decades.

Wilco Play "Deeper Down" for Craig Ferguson...
twentyfourbit:
Wilco stopped by the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson for the second time of the year tonight and played another pitch-perfect rendition of a cut off their latest album, Wilco (The Album). Whereas their last late-night performance featured what’s becoming a trademark Nels Cline guitar freakout coda for the song “One Wing,” Jeff Tweedy and the boys went mellow this time around,...
