This article about the Good Place cameo is a delight:
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Vonnie, I was disappointed when I saw the first commercials for Zoey's and realized that the music wasn't going to be original like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but then some people were comparing it to Eli Stone, which I loved. So, I might give it a chance. It's sitting on the DVR right now.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Music in the pilot were all pretty well known and older. I don't know how they are working around the music licensing fee issues -- I guess older songs may not require much? Or at all? Or maybe they don't cost if someone else is singing the songs? *scratches head*

I don't know if you have to pay for covers? I mean, there are cover bands everywhere and I can't imagine they have the money to pay. But I really have no idea.

Nice interview, I'm gonna have to check out the Culture article when I'm more awake. I remember watching Go and thinking "who is that guy", nice to be reminded of that

I don't think you have to pay permissions fees for covering songs in live performances, but anything that's going to appear on TV or in a movie should have royalties involved.

Good Place: Jason and the clicker - did something happen there I wonder? His trolley comments were about creating a distraction so something could happen.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I can't speak to the plot, but in the podcast they said that Manny Jacinto actually dropped it in one of the takes and it shattered: everyone stayed in character and started running around screaming about Jason destroying the Earth; Maya Rudolph started to slow clap and said "I'm a mom, I saw this coming". Mark Evan Jackson really hoped it wound up in a gag reel.

I think the venue pays the fees. Easier for the licensing folks to keep track.
