CIRQUE TV SEASON 2 EPISODE 1
The 11th episode of CirqueTV has arrived. Season 1 consisted of 10 episodes with 3 bonus episodes of exclusive premium content. In this episode, I had to work the overnight shift and apparently someone set up a camera in the studio without me knowing. Needless to say, I lost my damn mind. That's all beside the point, because this episode features Grubes and the lighting director for the band Phish! Big props to Mike Marshall for the editing, even though he couldn't be in this episode due to circumstances that will be revealed at a time of his choosing. It's fun, it's chaotic, it's insane, it's a thirst quencher...it's CirqueTV!

TV QUICK HITS
*Former SNL star Will Forte will apparently be getting a show on FOX soon. I always thought he was funny, but he's a bit player. Watch the movie "Macgruber", and you'll know what i'm talking about. This new pilot may have something though, as it's being produced from the same guy who produces "Modern Family".
*Bryan Cranston has revealed that "Breaking Bad" will return in July.
*Judy Greer of "Archer" and "Arrested Development" fame is getting a show on ABC. Tagging along with her is "Party Down" star Ken Marino. Seems like a great idea!
*This should probably go under the category of "Film Quick Hits", but it has a television tie to it. Adam Scott is starring in a movie entitled A.C.O.D (Adult Children of Divorce), and his girlfriend on "Parks and Recreation" (Amy Poehler) will play his step mother. If I ever go see "A.C.O.D, and I probably will because i'm in for any Adam Scott/Amy Poehler project, I think it'll seem incestuous. Jane Lynch is also set for a role in this movie too. Sounds cool to me!
JULIO BORBON
Here's a piece I wrote for the WFAA Sports blog. It's about how Julio Borbon was once seen as an important part of the future of the Texas Rangers, and how this is last shot to regain any type of recognition as an actual human being in the eyes of Ranger fans.
STEALING A RENTAL CAR
Steve Lillywhite, who is currently producing the new Dave Matthews Band album along with The Killers next release, tweeted that if anybody stole his rental car then they'd have access to never before heard material from the two bands.
This seems like a bad thing to even make light of, considering he's largely held responsible for the infamous "Lillywhite Sessions" mishap in 2000 with DMB.

Has anyone found Lamar Odom yet? I have a theory.
It's all a sham. Not a Brad, but a sham. *DISCLAIMER* I'm not sure if I actually believe this, but i'm throwing it out there. The Khloe and Lam Lam show on E! needed content for future episodes. This was kind of an under the table agreement. Two games before the All-Star Break, and the following two games after the All-Star Break equals about two weeks. Two weeks of doing anything they needed to do for the show.
They could go to France, attend an LA Kings game (yeah right), watch TV on their sweater, or do something with Kim. All of these things are really difficult to do during this compacted NBA season. They need content, so there's two weeks to film as much as you can.
The show also needs drama. This is a perfect time for Khloe to cry, and talk about how it's stressing her out that Lamar has been so "depressed". The word is "depressed" or "depression". Those are huge terms when it comes to dramatic (scripted) reality television. That gives time for them to explore so many storylines that will end up with Khloe crying on the camera. You can throw in the dad thing, or the "I miss LA" story, or whatever you need to do. It's not the Khloe show though, it's the Khloe and Lamar show and they needed the blacker half of that couple to stop down and give them some camera time.
I know some people will say i'm crazy, and to that I say read the disclaimer. All of this can be debunked really easily and I understand that, but I don't think it's absurd to think that the TV show might have at least a small role in his disappearance.
DO YOU REMEMBER JA RULE?
Rapper Ja Rule is 9 years old today. Happy birthday Ja! He's the oldest looking 9 year old i've ever seen.
SNL MUSICAL GUESTS
On the last three "new" episodes of Saturday Night Live, they've had 3 musical guests who have become extremely popular in the hipster/indie/internet culture, but aren't necessarily that talented or appealing to a widespread audience. Lana Del Rey is awful and her performance on SNL speaks for itself. Karmin was next, and I had never heard of them, but it was extremely terrible. Sleigh Bells was next a couple weeks ago. Sleigh Bells is no dobut the most popular of the three, and i'm familiar with there work only because they have been forced into the Indie Rock genre. I think they suck, but obviously somebody sees something in them.
SNL has always done a great job of mixing up and coming artists with known commodity's. This week they go with Jack White. Finally someone who is actually talented. Someone who makes real music that isn't tainted with drum machines and beats formed on a macbook.
I guess what i'm saying is, I'm not sure if SNL knew what it was asking for when it booked Lana Del Rey, Karmin, and The Sleigh Bells. I feel like they didn't understand they were booking turds. Internet/YouTube hype is different than touring the region hype, and I think it's important to realize that and tap the brakes on all of these acts that aren't that established.
I'm out of material.

Today's lead story involves a bunch of guys including Mike Sirois. Actually it doesn't. It's actually NASCAR, and i'm willing to bet this is the only time that NASCAR will have anything to do with my lead story. There was a big ass explosion last night in the Daytona 500. Fans did the wave, so there's that. Explosions? Fire? Fireballs? Maybe i've been missing out on this NASCAR bit. Is it always like this? Maybe last night wasn't a NASCAR race. Maybe it was ULTIMATE NASCAR or something. You know like the game fireball on Friends. Why did I mention that 90's sitcom? So here's the top 10 movie explosions of all time according to some YouTube user. Enjoy. Boom.
My attention span for NASCAR is so little that I forgot to include the link to the video of the actual NASCAR explosion. Make sure you tune into Raceweek with Rich Phillips for more on Saturday at 2PM......

IMPRESSING THE SCOUTS: VICK BALLARD EATS IT
Mississippi State RB Vick Ballard was trying to show his speed at the NFL combine. He comes off looking a little clumsy.
Someone at SB Nation added the old crocodile slip'n slide music, so that's pretty cool I guess. Stay hard, Vick Ballard.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM"
There's only one professional bowler that I can ever remember the name of. Weber. I don't even ever remember his first name, but I always recognize Weber. I like Pete Weber now. Because of this...
That doesn't make sense...
GOOD LUCK WITH...WITH...WITH YOUR TUESDAY. TUESDAY.

MONDAY: FEBRUARY 27 2012
The lead story is the Academy Awards. The Oscars. Who the hell is Oscar? I should probably know that, right? If they make horseshoes, do they make horsesocks? Is anybody listening to me?
Out of the 9 nominated movies for best picture, I have only seen Moneyball. I really can't comment much on movies this year. I like the Emmy's. I could really care less about the Academy Awards, but i'll always stop down for it. It seems like the most interesting thing happened before the show though.
Seacrest seriously looked like he was about to cry.
In other news, did you see Angelina Jolie? She was like 60 lbs. Skeletor. One would think Brad Pitt is trying to get out of that situation, right? Maybe not. Just do your thing on the side. I'm assuming stuff like that is not a big deal in those Hollywood circles.
The Artist wins best film. On Friday, Robert Wilonsky of the Dallas Observer, but soon the Dallas Morning News, told my buddy Corby and the gang on The Hardline that he thought it would win.
The actor from that movie won best actor. Meryl Streep won best actress. That's really boring to me.
It's amazing how much i'll get into the Emmy's, but how little I care about The Oscars. So with that, let's go on to something of importance, if in fact there is anything.
PETE AND THE PIRATES
I've been on a big Pete and the Pirates kick lately, so here's a couple songs I think you check out.
Mr. Understanding
Half Moon Street
Come To The Bar
COMMUNITY RETURNS
I've been way too busy to mess with this, but I need to remind the 4 people that read this that Community returns on March 15th. There is a bit of bad news with it, in that Parks and Recreation disappears for about 4 or 5 weeks. That's only because it is way ahead of schedule right now, and once Up All Night finishes up, Community and Parks and Recreation will make a run to the finish line of the season.
It turns out Community going away, may be the best thing that could've happened in terms of it being renewed for a 4th season. The ratings for everything on NBC Thursday night's have been weak, but specifically 30 Rock which took over Community's timeslot. It's not set in stone, but things look good for Community being renewed. Let's hope.
In case you can't wait until March 15....I grant you this...
I love ya

CIRQUE TV EPISODE 9
An overall new direction. Jake is in for Cash. Hondo makes an appearance as well as Ticket Chick Lauren and Grammy Award winner Bon Iver. We also check out the plaza!
I saw the Polyphonic Spree for the 3rd time in my life and 2nd time this year last night at Sons of Hermann Hall. The first time I saw them, I had very little idea about what they did. I knew them as the band that showed up on Scrubs for one episode and jammed in the hospital. I loved that show and saw them again on New Year's Eve. Another great show, and since then i've been digging into their catalog. I can now officially call myself a real fan.
Last night's show was once again a lot of fun. This was definitely more intimate than the first two I saw at the Palladium and House of Blues. Tonight's show was 90 minutes, and it seems like the first two times I saw them it was a 2 or 2 1/2 hour show. It should be mentioned that those shows were "special event" shows. One was something for Southern Comfort, and the other on New Year's Eve.
Their shows are such a joyful experience. It's very crowd-involved, and there's a lot of sing-along parts for the crowd to take part in. I'm relatively new to their bit, but for now if they're in town then i'll always try to check it out.
GUS FRING
The chicken man from "Breaking Bad' will appear in an upcoming episode of "Community" once it finally returns to NBC. Omar from The Wire/Chalky White from Boardwalk Empire has already appeared this season and is scheduled to appear at least one more time, so Community has done a great job of casting some of the great villians in TV history. God, Community is such a great show.
LOUIS C.K. RETURNS TO PARKS AND RECREATION
On last night's episode of Parks and Recreation, comedian Louis C.K. guest starred and returned in his role of Dave the cop. In Season 2 Dave briefly dated Leslie Knope.
It's a very funny episode, and we also briefly get the return of Duke Silver. Although it's not the actual Duke Silver, it is still Duke Silver. I realize that makes no sense, so go watch the episode.
I don't buy Tom and Ann dating, or Ann having that much patience with him, but it's at least a different concept that should probably last until the end of the season. I will say no more about this episode, so go enjoy.
MVP: Ben (Adam Scott)
TICKETSTOCK
This weekend is Ticketstock! Go out to Irving and check it out. Here's a couple videos from Ticketstock 2011.
