St. Vincent’s new album is coming out February 24. Here’s the first single. “Oh what an ordinary day/Take out the garbage, masturbate” joins “In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey” and “I killed a man cause he killed my goat” among the greatest opening lines of all time.

Television, What Won TV? Leave a comment
In this feature, I look back at each day of the past week and determine what shows “won TV” for the night. That is, I consider every episode of television I watched that aired on a particular day and declare which was the best.
Sunday – Bob’s Burgers, duh
Monday – Rick and Morty won me over.
Tuesday – Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Wednesday – Key & Peele
Thursday – The Eric André Show
Friday – Comedy Bang! Bang!, with The Neighbors and The Birthday Boys not too far behind on the most competitive night of last week
Saturday – SNL, by default, but hey, Brasky DID give AIDS back to the monkeys.

The Sound of Music – Live and Condensed
Okay, SNL, you got me. I was not expecting Dooneese to show up, nor indeed would I have been expecting to like her to show up if I thought she might. B+
Paul Rudd’s Monologue
Interesting to see Paul acknowledge how much he was overshadowed by the previous MG’s. I guess it really was that obvious. Oh, and most importantly, David Koechner has finally returned to the SNL stage! He’s one of the best – if not the best – one-season cast members of all time. “Why don’t you beat it, Menudo” was fairly well-trod territory, but Will Ferrell delivered it with such conviction. B
