Usher, “Climax” (Live on Saturday Night Live)

It’s extremely easy (lazy, even!) to complain about the sound problems for certain artists on SNL. This vocal by Usher is remarkable. Not an easy song to sing either.

Wow, this photo of Diane Von Furstenberg and Barry Diller. Not entirely sure this isn’t a still from a Cassavetes movie.

Bought this on Steven Soderbergh’s recommendation. Sam O’Steen’s filmography is the best.

"[Driller Killer] ends up being more of a critique on how the artistic class feeds on the legitimate poor without helping them in any way. Which, yeah, he’s doing it by boring holes into homeless people on the street, but it seems to be more of an interesting way to talk about it without having to watch Lena Dunham typing in-jokes to herself on the old twitter set to Robyn, or watch Jorma Taccone pretend to be Art Garfunkel in Bad Timing. Nerdy dudes in 2012, you ain’t got the gravitas to fuck with Garfunkel, come to terms with it. You write for SNL. I love you for MacGruber, but you write for SNL. The only time there’s been cocaine at an SNL taping since 1986 was when a Ke$ha came through. You ain’t got the nerd thing gone wrong, dude. You played Chaka. I don’t believe you."

I love this.
