Two good forces unite I've talked previously about how much I enjoy "The Office" on NBC. Last night's episode, in which Michael arrives uninvited at a party thrown by Jim, was one of the funniest ever. I won't get into a detailed plot discussion here, because you've either seen it or you haven't, but it's worth noting that Jim was playing some damn good music at his party. What music you ask? None other than "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth" by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (ok I admit I'm not 100% that was the song). I know their stock has been rising lately (as chronicled on this blog) but network TV already? Back in June when their self-released album came out, I had to run to Other Music to get a copy -- only 2000 copies were made and that was one of the few brick and mortar stores selling it. Now they've sold over 50,000 copies and you can get a copy pretty much anywhere. And still haven't signed a record deal (despite some probably desperate pleas from multiple labels).

Related notes:
CYHSY new year's show is now SOLD OUT. Tickets are going for 70 bucks a piece on craig's list. Glad we bought ours early.

Dwight Shrute, the character on The Office, has an (in-character) blog.

BJ Novak, who plays Ryan the Intern, had a blog for a few weeks on the TV Guide website.

But, the question with no answer is still, What About Jim and Pam?
