This evening, I will be neck-deep in burritos and margaritas

Okay, suckers, it’s my birthday. Do you know what that means?

What it means is that I’m going to write about whatever I want, no matter how tenuously it connects to the world of television. Basically, I’m going to talk about 1.) boys and 2.) rock and roll. If you recall, I did the same thing last year when I spotlighted Lost’s Charlie, Big Brother’s Kaysar and the room-decorating baldie Angelo Surmelis (ow, ow!), then I posted a now-expired YouTube clip of the Go! Team.

Contrary to popular belief, people don’t change. So here’s some more of the same.

Alright girls, first up, can we have a discussion of how hot Adrian Pasdar’s beard is? Admittedly, if you’ve seen him lately he’s looking a little Muqtada Al-Sadr, but when it’s properly groomed, look out! I’m guessing that even if I strap on a guitar and a blonde wig, he’s not likely to mistake me for Natalie Maines.

Hold up. You know, instead of turning this into Tiger Beat, like last year, and posting pictures of TV people who turn my head (for the record, like Aasif Mandvi or Josh Stamberg from Studio 60), I’ll make this post music heavy. That is, I’ll list a bunch of bands and YouTube clips and you can go ahead and glaze over. Sound like a plan? Okay.

First up, here’s a CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR VERSION of The Pipettes’ “Pull Shapes. Why are you not watching this? You cannot hate The Pipettes. Do you hate Christmas? Is that it? (full disclosure: I kind of hate Christmas a little bit, so you can say yes. It’s okay.)[kml_flashembed movie="http://youtube.com/v/xj_SV49UdO8" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

This is a great older clip of The Raveonettes’ “Great Love Sound.” They keep trying to kill each other in it! [kml_flashembed movie="http://youtube.com/v/WxKq5BxaaCc" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Finally, there’s some pretty awesome YouTube footage of The Go! Team at the Glastonbury Festival. Here’s part one. There are a few more and they’re all like 9 minutes each.[kml_flashembed movie="http://youtube.com/v/PDO-eYEjCyE" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

And if you haven’t taken the time to YouTube stalk Maria Bamford, here’s a clip of her that will win the heart of anyone who’s ever been a temp.[kml_flashembed movie="http://youtube.com/v/wtLY6pa2zcY" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Okay… that’s all. Bottoms up!
