Not a live show, but I did get to see a Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes show that night!

Honestly, I listened to more comedy and podcasts this year. I couldn’t even come up with 10. :(

1) Fair to Midland - Arrows and Anchors
    A band that no one’s heard of that everyone should have. Darroh has an amazing vocal range, and they really are on the top of my band list for this year.

2) Puscifer - Conditions of My Parole
    Just wonderful to hear Maynard back in action! Plus, the songs are a bit more structured, thus givng MJK more opportunites to grace us with his lovely melodies.

3) Childish Gambino - Camp
    Say what you want, the kid has flow. Nerdcore at it’s best…and he has no association to Danny Glover.

4) Chevelle - Hats Off to the Bull
    The most consistently reliable band in rock. This time they threw a few awesome curves.
   
5) Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
    Honestly, they’re the only band keeping some form of rock and roll alive.

Best 10 TV shows I saw in 2011:


1) Community - Watch this show before dumb ass NBC cancels it! Serioulsly, it’s hilarious.

2) Walking Dead - I know, it’s a cliche for the past few years, but a zombie show is a great refresher for the horror genre.

3) Doctor Who - Laugh all you want, but the past 2 seasons are probably the most enjoyable writing on tv.

4) Sherlock - Sure, it came out last year, but I saw it for the 1st time this year. It warrants a mention because it’s such a wonderful modern version of my favorite detective.

5) IT Crowd - Another show I watched for the 1st time this year. side note: Chris O’Dowd was the only funny element of Bridesmaids(that movie was fucking abysmal).

6) Big Bang Theory - Being a total nerd(down to my job), I love this show. I hear a lot of closeted nerds bashing it, but if they were that smart they’d realize that this, like every other tv show, is based on the most extreme character stereotypes possible. Don’t give a shit, it’s a more enjoyable way to spend thursdays than Jersey Shore.

7) Castle - Nathan Fillion…that is all.

8) Dexter - No show writes better “oh shit!” cliffhangers, and I love that about them. Plus, I really enjoy the “slow burn” charater building.

9) It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia - These crazy bastards just keep writing the opposite of what every other sitcom is doing. How has no one caught on to this? Plus, Mac actually gets fat to be funny. lol


10) Chuck - I know, I know. Loyal to the end. Honestly, the show has gotten back to it’s fun roots since they knew this was the last season, it’s like they just don’t give a fuck….that’s more than Joss Whedon ever got.




HM: American Horror Story…only saw one ep, but really liked it.

If you’re not watching this show, it’s highly possible that you’re contributing to the downfall of American entertainment as we know it…..or you’re just fucking ignorant, and watching far too much reality TV.

If this is the case, get off your ass and live a reality of your own….or watch Community on NBC. Thursdays at 8 so they don’t cancel my last reason for watching network TV
