Pushing Daisies Rundown: Episode 11, "Window Dressed to Kill"
Welcome back, Pushing Daisies fans! It's been a long time since this beloved show went off the air, and while it's sad that the final episodes are airing in what may be the worst time slot on television, I'm just relieved that they're airing at all.

Album Review: Wilco (The Album)
I'm not a Wilco connoisseur, exactly, in that I don't know every song by heart or every nuance of the variations in their discography, but I do own many of the band's albums and I am seriously stoked to see a whole new one emerge from them, titled simply Wilco (The Album). The album is streaming in its entirety right now (you can take a spin through it here), so I took a little listen.
Just like the funny/cute cover, many of the songs have a spirit of playfulness to them, even as many of the lyrics remain typically sad or ominous.
