"Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself."

Kimmel Goes For The Throat
Thanks to Cathy for the heads up, this is Jimmy Kimmel reaping revenge on Sara Silverman for her hilarious 'I'm F*cking Matt Damon' music video:
I'm f**king Matt Damon
Sara Silverman = Dirty minded and offensive but very funny US comedian.
Jimmy Kimmel = American talk show host. Poor mans Conan O'Brien who is a poor man's Jay Leno who wants to be Letterman. Boyfriend of Sara Silverman.
Matt Damon = Now officially coolest Hollywood actor
Combined result: funniest video of at least the last 7 days.
