@brewsternorth @scattermoon We've got Graham Norton now, but he's definitely inherited the wryness.

The Father John Misty album is decent; good dose of John Grant style melodics interspersed with country rock jams & nice lyrical wryness.

TGIF: Movie capsules
17 May 2012, 10:59 pm
“AMERICAN REUNION” — You probably haven’t been lying awake in bed at night wondering whatever became of Stifler and Oz and the rest of the horny kids from the original “American Pie” movie. Yet here they are, after 13 years and a couple of sequels, and they’re more bland than bawdy these days. That’s part of the joke: that they (and we) aren’t in high school anymore, that we all have to grow up ...

Hospitality: Tiny Desk Concert
30 April 2012, 7:16 am
The New York band Hospitality makes music that's unmistakably friendly and welcoming — it's hug-and-a-handshake pop that lives up to its name by jangling and chiming comfortably. The group doesn't overwhelm so much as it wears listeners down with a subtle charm offensive.

Rosamund Pike adds grace and Bill Nighy adds wryness, but for a movie with flying horses, it should be funnier. PG-13. 1 hour, 39 minutes. 2 stars

António Zambujo’s Fado at Skirball Center - New York Times

And Mr. Zambujo’s voice, quiet but riveting, teased out all the sorrows, yearnings and occasional wryness of the songs. Where the strings set up the understated oompah of traditional fado, Mr. Zambujo’s phrases hovered above it or darted ...

Maurice Sendak Saw Kids as People, Too - YAHOO!
8 May 2012, 11:17 am
Sendak's skill lay not only in the obvious on the page, but within the wryness, the invisible layer on top. I'd read once that the "Wild Things" were originally meant to be horses, but he changed them. He found he couldn't draw horses. Sendak didn't play ...
