Inserting “Volume 1″ into the title leaves me hopeful there will be a second album some day from this collection of artists.

A more solid effort than the criminally rushed You Could Have It So Much Better though not nearly as good as their debut.

The Lonely Island have amassed a following with their digital shorts on Saturday Night Live. Those shorts – often the highlight of the episodes they appear in – are the foundation of their debut album Incredibad, making up seven of the 19 tracks. Even though I’ve heard those songs already, I still love them, owing to short length of the songs – brevity is better is musical comedy – and the repeated utterances of lines to allow their sheer absurdity to sink in.

We’re taking a short break here as we take a trip to Boston for the weekend. There won’t be any asides posted but expect to see an Oscar picks post to go up on Sunday. Have a good weekend!

An excellent dramatization of the Richard Nixon interviews conducted by David Frost. For those who weren’t alive during Watergate, it provides a compelling look at the scandal but, more importantly, it allows Frank Langella to give a layered, almost sympathetic portrayal of Nixon. Now, Michael Sheen, you were Tony Blair in The Queen and you portrayed David Frost in this film, both to acclaim – what the heck are you still doing making Underworld films?

Holland gets a little weird, owing to the fact that it’s Beirut doing electronic music but it’s a good kind of weird, if that makes any sense.

It gets the high rating for “My Girls” alone. Merriweather Post Pavilion is most definitely their most accessible, pop-like album to date.
