The best music of 2008, from the AV Club.
Cool! These things usually make me go on a downloading spree.
TV On the Radio, huh? Hmmm.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Uhm, her music's better than her dad's?
My heart! My achy breaky heart! It just can't seem to understand that concept!

Does anyone else have an excuse to like Miley Cyrus? Or am I the only one?
I had a long, hilarious conversation with my 7 and 10-year old nieces about how to tell the difference between a Miley Cyrus and a Hannah Montanna song on the radio. While the 7-year old thought the Miley Cyrus songs were slightly more rock, the 10-year old came to the conclusion that the two are basically indistinguishable.

Hee! Though in all seriousness, BRC made me cringe back when I was a regular listener to C&W. Not that I could avoid the earworm.
A friend once gave me a Terminator action figure, telling me I could glue a mullet on it and have my very own Billy Ray.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Is anyone compiling the list of the 10 best/favourite albums of 2008 already?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
(I totally listened to Billy Cyrus without irony when I was a kid. Thank you, diet of CMT as a youngster.)
I just find her so inexplicably charming. Okay, not inexplicably--my pop princess preferences are generally well known and well mocked. But she's adorable.
A Charlie Brown Christmas OST! That's the other one I can listen to on end all year 'round.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
So, um. Does anyone else have an excuse to like Miley Cyrus? Or am I the only one?
I know one of her backup singers from the last tour, and she's really nice.

Awesome! I was watching the tree-lighting at Rockefeller Centre thing and Miley was performing; her backup singers had about ten or fifteen years on her, and they were all dressed up to look like scene/emo kids. Hi-larious.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My 10-year-old niece is a big fan of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. I am not. On the other hand, niece is part of the target demographic. I am not.
I put her in the same category as Barney. I wouldn't object if my hypothetical kid in the proper age bracket were a fan. Just don't make me be in the room while you're watching.
