Oh, so Nutty!
Join my mom, Laurie, and I as we bake oh so yummy rich butter pecan cookies. We talk about Amos Lee's upcoming album, Joshua Radin's appearance on "The Ellen Degeneres Show," music at the Sundance Film Festival, Paolo Nutini's plans to buy a vineyard in Tuscany and other randomness.

Uh Oh, I'm Turning Into a Caffiend
I've been snacking on chocolate-covered espresso beans all week. Yums! Please do excuse the crunching.

Flight of the Conchords
I talk about Flight of the Concords, formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular folk parody duo. Check out their hilarious performances of "Business Time" and "The Humans are Dead." For links to the duo's documentary filmed at SXSW in 2006, read this post on my personal weblog.

SciFi & Fantasy Movies, Hurray!
I share my thoughts about "The Water Horse," a delightful movie I took in recently; and also mention upcoming movies I'm really looking forward to, The untitled "X-Files" sequel and "The Hobbit," movies. (Check out TheOneRing.net for tons of great info about all the Tolkien works-based movies.)

I also note that March 25th is Tolkien Reading Day. Don't forget to break out your copies of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Hobbit"!

Hlookoff Update
I give an update on Shawn Hlookoff, a Canadian singer/songwriter whose music has been featured on Random Fandom in the past. Click here for a great interview with Shawn.

They're Back!
I talk about the return of "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" to Comedy Central.
