    Abe Vigoda

    Age 94. RIP Abe Vigoda. He seems to most famous for the Godfather and Barney Miller, but I just remember him as always being used in bits for Late Night with Conan O’Brien. The AV Club has nice article about him, hopefully soon, someone puts up a supercut of some of his Conan appearances.

    Year in Review

    I love year-end lists, so can you imagine the excitement about a list of year-end lists?
    Check this out: http://yearinreview.co/

    From there, I found this gem, the Spotify Year in Music:
    https://yearinmusic.spotify.com/en-US

    If you have a Spotify account, you can have it comb through your stats and give you some recommendations based on that. This past year, I have been listening to much more country music (both good and bad) than I thought. Top artists were Sturgill Simpson, Pistol Annies, and AC-DC.  Here is a playlist of my top tracks.

    Then after you are done with that you can some other playlists to put together for events during the year:

    • Max Martin is a fantastic writer/producer/etc. Check out all the hits he had a hand in in this playlist.
    • Here is a list of wedding classics in honor of the legality of gay marriage.
    • With the release of the Amy Winehouse documentary, here is an Amy playlist.

    Jon Benjamin has a band

    From Neil, Jon Benjamin, voice of Bob’s Burgers and Archer, star of Comedy Central show “Jon Benjamin has a Van”, did an “experimental jazz album” called Well, I Should Have… Learned to Play Piano. It’s experimental and labeled that way because he doesn’t know how to play the piano.  But the rest of the band is accomplished jazz musicians.  NPR’s Robert Siegel really thought it was funny.  Check out the interview here:

    VCR and Dry Hump

    Another sign that I am an old man- I only know about this after a light night show parodies it. I’m glad someone figured this out. I am very excited to find more movies that I won’t be watching.

    Other collections that I would love:

    • Movies I’ve Only Seen Edited Versions of on WGN
    • Terry-Travers-acclaimed Westerns
    • Law&Order Episodes that Don’t Involve Baby-Rape
    • Potent Potables?

    Here is a list of Netflix codes: http://netflixcodes.me/
    Here is a crazy long extended list: http://ogres-crypt.com/public/NetFlix-Streaming-Genres2.html

    Who is William Hartnell? I didn’t know either. Here is his IMDB.
    Via TO.
