Summer Heights High debuts on HBO (US) and The Movie Channel in Canada around November 9th, though it’s 7 episodes were recommended by a fellow Spikedhumor user showing me a few episodes and making me laugh hysterically.

Chris Tilley plays 3 characters, Mr. G – an overeccentric and somewhat stereotypical drama teacher, Ja’ime a schoolgirl who’s a total bitch (for the lack of a better term) and Jonah a 13-year old illiterate problematic child. Jonah in my opinion is by far the funniest character with excessive foul language.

Here’s a clip (Jonah getting his dick touched):

Here’s a playlist dedicated to Jonah Takalua (it’ll make sense if you watch the season):

Ghalib shared his experience on Extermination Music Night – an event I eagerly want to go to now.
Carmen reviewed E.S.L.’s Eye Contact – impossible to search for this band. I love the Canadian content these guys are pitching in with.
Speak of Canadian, Adam (writes a blog The Edge 102.1) reviewed Kathleen’s Turner Overdrive E.P (too long so I’m lazy to write it/copy and paste it).

Some blogosphere commentary:
Please freakin stop with the Bloc Party hype. Even if you hate the bloc party or like them, I’m sick of tired about hearing about their latest single or whatever fucking opinion you have on their new album. At this point, I hope their album receives a 5.0 something from Pitchfork so the blogs can talk about some more meaningful music.

Okkervil River plans to have videos promoting their latest album. They have some performances the latest and probably the awesomemest is with AC Newman of the New Pornos taking over Jon Meiburg’s duties on vocals in a star studded duet that makes me drool (and potentially wet – I keep that secret) with Wil Sheff playing the new single Lost Coastlines. Watch below if you hate navigating.

TI released a new song. Didn’t listen to it.

The Walkmen’s You & Me scored an 8.5 from P4K. You may be seeing a review from us though probably not from me (I haven’t listen to their past albums and it wouldn’t be right).

An uneventful week for me. I struggled with sleeping issues and my knee is going to take another 6 weeks to heal (10 TOTAL) as I can’t do any sports that involves any twisting. That blows.
