X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 8
Marcus for bottom 2.

Another Earth
This is out on 9th December in the UK. I've just downloaded it, but I really want to see it at the cinema because it might be like Melancholia and have some stunning sequences.

Fringe
The reset is boring because: 1) If they don't remember what things were like before the reset, that's basically 3 seasons worth of character and plot development thrown out of the window. 2) If they do remember, then that basically all the stuff in season 4 so far is moot. Really not interested in Fringe at the moment. Watching almost seems like a chore...like I have to because I have committed to it. I hope it picks up soon.

Yeah, Cougar Town season 1 and 2 Thanksgiving episodes are both amazing. This being good made me miss Cougar Town.

Marina & The Diamonds - 'Electra Heart'
Album not released in Feb anymore... :( Oh well, hope it means she's writing some awesome songs in the same vein as Starring Role. It was seriously amazing live: 0YIniIRqJCQ

The Weeknd 'House of Balloons/Thursday/Echoes of Silence'
Bah. Stunning video. Planets are really in at the moment.

Yeah, everything was good this week. Yakult has to be my favourite thing so far. "Is that hebrew?" "No, she's named after my favourite probiotic drink."

Pixie Lott - Young Foolish Happy
Have you seen the All About Tonight video?

Nicki Minaj 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'
Hopefully the production on this will be better than Pink Friday. I just find it really naff and lets down most of the songs. Hopefully, Roman Reloaded will more along the lines of her verse on Monster.

Rizzle Kicks - Stereo Typical // 31st October, 2011
I downloaded the album because I love Down With The Trumpets. Bit of a guilty pleasure because Rizzle Kicks are pretty PG13. The album is terrible though.

Marina & The Diamonds - 'Electra Heart'
Saw Marina last night at the Little Noise Sessions. She was amazing as usual - her voice sounded sublime in the church venue. She didn't really do anything that we haven't already heard; songs off the new album were; Radioactive Jealousy Living Dead Starring Role Fear and Loathing Fear and Loathing was especially good, epic ending. I can't help feel though that Jealousy and Living Dead are Family Jewels leftovers. The demos seem to have been around forever.

'The Walking Dead' // Season 2
I think Shane does some despicable things but for some reason, I find him quite likeable as a character. I think he has a lot of redeeming factors which is why I don't think they'd kill him off just yet.

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 7
Yawn. Marcus was better when he was doing Moves Like Jagger.

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 7
She killsed it. A few tears should help her last a few extra weeks as well, it didn't hurt Cher. Kind of agree with Gary though, these songs seemed designed to win votes, but I think it was the rapping dancehall Misha that people initially liked.

Hello alien forum
I only discovered Kendrick Lamar recently when I was looking up acts similar to the Weeknd. Section 80 is an amazing album - definitely worth getting.

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 7
I think the majority of Little Mix's success has been down to song choice. Every week they've done something that's probably going to be played in Tiger Tiger, and a big part of Xfactor's audience is people pre drinking before hitting town. I think the most "far out" they went was I'm Like A Bird.

Hello alien forum
Trying to think what would go with the songs you listed, might be a bit off the mark: Dilated Peoples - This Way N.E.R.D - Hypnotize U Kendrick Lamar - No Make Up Jurassic 5 - Thin Line Stanton Warriors - Get Up DJ Format - Hit Song DJ Zinc - Wile Out

'Talk That Talk' // 6th Studio Album Discussion
First impressions of this album is that it's more consistent than Loud. That isn't really a good thing though. Loud had 5 songs that were between 7/10 and 10/10, and the rest were terrible. All the TTT songs are just kind of middling at the moment... Cockiness and Drunk On Love are the only songs that have stuck out. I think this album will spawn hits because of Rihanna's status but I think none of them will be remembered long, falling into that same bucket as Hate That I Love You and Shut Up & Drive. I need some new Rihanna that will make me go mental in a club like What's My Name does. Nothing on this album is doing it. Take Care is better than anything on this album.

Suburgatory
There's only so many suburban events they can do every week. The BBQ, the money raiser, the sweet 16... They need some over arching stories to keep you coming back every week. It's obviously going to be George and Dallas getting closer but they need to get closer now because they're the best characters.

Sunday Chart Predictions
I hope One Direction end up out of the top 3 on Sunday, looks like it could happen with the way they're bombing down the iTunes chart. It feels like a small victory for music.

This just needs to be the Dallas show. This week's episode was alright, but I feel that Tessa's bits are just set up for funny Dallas moments.

Florence + The Machine // 'Ceremonials' October 31
Great video. Manages to do the whole pagan goddess thing without looking like it was set at the village fete after party (Shake It Out).
-
Fringe
I think Fringe was at it's best at with the last few episodes of season 2 and first few of season 3. It kind of went downhill a bit during season 3 though, especially the disappointing ending. Season 4 has been good so far, but not great. The most recent episode was good but it was almost the exact same story as the white tulip episode, which I think is possibly one of the greatest TV episodes EVER.

New Girl
Schmidt became amazing in the thanksgiving episode.

Marina & The Diamonds - 'Electra Heart'
I thought it was more Natasha Bedingfield - Angel (was that Stargate?)
