A few quick things…

First some items related to yesterday’s Super Bowl post:
Thanks to Jon for either finding the words to the Fruity Pebbles commercial or for having a super strong memory that holds on to the important things in life. I appreciate it, Jon.

I didn’t mention that the Super Bowl really isn’t the last game of the NFL season. There is that one game after the Super Bowl that is held in Hawaii. I think it’s called the Let’s Make Peyton Manning Feel Better About Himself Bowl. Sure some people call it the Pro Bowl and yet still more people call it unnecessary.

The ratings are in for the Super Bowl and a heapin’ helpin’ of people tuned in…on average. Jim Caple wrote a good article about NFL myths a while back. It includes some talk about Super Bowl ratings hyperbole.


Secondly, here’s some links:
Popmatters reviews the new Minus 5 album that I have really enjoyed.

Pitchfork reviews a recent Colin Meloy solo show.

McSweeney’s offers up Jack Bauer's Friendster Profile.

And popmatters also reviews the new album from Jenny Lewis. I haven't been crazy about her band Rilo Kiley, but I've heard some songs from this solo album and really, really like them. If anybody gets to hear this album, let me know what you think.


And lastly, Amy and I saw Brokeback Mountain this past weekend and I am working on a post about the movie. Hopefully I'll finish it and put it up tomorrow.
