Water, water everywhere

And not a drop to think.

When that Kanye performance from last night's season opener of Saturday Night Live keeps reminding you of the wrong stuff.

Editor's note: Normally, Saturday Night Live clips from official sources (e.g., NBC television) are blocked for viewing outside the U.S. However, I can view this (not from an official source) clip in Canada, so I'm assuming you can view this regardless of your location. Watch it before it's removed for copyright infringement.

Update 10 February 2017: And of course it's now gone! If you're in Canada, you can watch it here.

And that was the week that was.

If Melissa McCarthy doesn't get an Emmy for the prop-box alone, there is no justice.

But if Trump and Bannon have their way, there may indeed be no justice.

Twin bed!

To make up for the weirdness

As my friend The Music Lover and I just discussed, what was up with Sleigh Bells on Saturday Night Live last night? The voice of singer, Alexis Krauss, seemed totally lost in the mix, not just on "Comeback Kid" but for the second song performed as well.

What gives? If the sound quality was off in the first set, you'd think they could have at least fixed it in the second. But maybe that was intentional?

I mean, Sleigh Bills is a quirky outfit, music-wise--they do a lot with "noise" and distortion in their sound. I love it, but I kind of wonder what's the point of them performing live if you can't hear the singer or understand even a minimal amount of what she's singing.

Then again, in the video above, one of the guys in the band is wearing a Nirvana t-shirt. Nirvana. Now there's a group known for sound distortion and lyrical and vocal unintelligibility.

So, again, maybe it was intentional and that Nirvana t-shirt is speaking, erm, volumes, to us.

It might work!

I don't always like Kristen Wiig's characters on SNL (although I thought she was comedy platinum in Bridesmaids), but this one, flirting expert Rebecca LaRue, had me rolling.

Did you remember to call your girlfriend?

Well, I did.

You can find the video for this song (but not this performance, alas) here.
