   So Pandora finally figured out how to block my VPN a bit ago, and spotify quickly showed itself to be so awful at predicting music I might like that about 90% of its choices were awful, and then Ii discovered that youtube does a pretty good auto-mix predicting music I might like. Well that was good for awhile and I actually discovered a fair ( Read more... )

I was a big Colbert fan on The Daily Show, then a faithful viewer of The Colbert Report. When he took over the Late Show I was turned off by the band, of all things. And the screaming audience. John Baptiste seemed to be pandering to the audience, playing that stupid air-keyboard as if it required talent of any kind.

Then the shut-down, and Colbert taping at home, and Baptiste no longer had an audience, and actually spoke to Colbert, and I could hear him play the piano. Wow! He is fabulous, and endearing. He seems like a music dork who isn't quite used to being a personality. I got hooked on Colbert again. I feel that his show is much better without an audience.

I caught Jimmy Fallon a few times while he was taping at home, and then tuned in just to see his house. I lost interest when he moved back into the studio.

And that's all there is to know about my late night feelings!

Interesting. I'd only tuned in once Colbert was already at home so I never got the studio audence thing. In general I hate laugh tracks and/or live studio audiences. I don't need to be told something is funny. It's cute on the Colbert show though how you sometimes hear his wife or producer laughing at a joke.

I wonder if the problem with Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers is the opposite, that they've totally failed to adapt to not being in front of a studio audience.

But even with Colbert I usually get bored with the interviewss and never tune in for the live music act because why would I do that when there's plenty of music available on youtube. So being able to catch _just_ the monologue (and quarantinewhile) is ideal.

i gave up on Pandora very quickly. The first time I tired to use it I punched in that I liked the Beatles and it threw Madonna at me so I was all "well, fuck you, Pandora."

'The Red & the White" was brilliant.

Have you seen the film version of "The Master and Margarita"? YouTube should have it, albeit in 10 minute clips.

Yes. The novel is brilliant, and the film is very well done.
