We watched Portlandia the other day. Susan had seen ads and so TiVo'd it. There was included a funny little music video called "Dream of the 90s is Alive in Portland." I enjoyed it. Of course it underscores how great Portland is.
I think that the music video, played at the opening of the show, set a high bar that the rest episode never quite managed to reach again. It was still amusing, though.
Eleanor McEvoy has a number of lovely songs. Whisper a Prayer to the Moon is beautiful. Great lyric: If I had the powers/I'd give you the stars/the sun and the light/of the moon.
Dark Sun:The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb, by Richard Rhodes. discusses the nuclear arms race. Pretty freaking insane.

Loved the music video.
We don't get IFC, but I did see the clip where they have a p___ing contest over who had read what- thought that was humorous.
