    The Analog-to-Digital TV transition: A2DTVOK!

    posted by matt | 11.19.08 | permalink | comment?

    We watch an awful lot of TV over here in the Songspeak National Headquarters Office Tower. And much like the Y2K scare, we plan to party like it’s 1999 when analog television transitions to digital TV only in February of 2009.

    But seriously folks– who even HAS analog TV anymore? People who aren’t going to be able to figure out how to hook up a digital converter box, that’s who.

    Thanks Jeff at LinkFarm for cracking an egg of knowledge about this video.

    Oh, and speaking of a sign o’ the times… Back in 1999, my mom got t-shirts with big letters that said Y2KOK! for her office. Her and her co-workers were stuck working at their office on New Year’s Eve because of the Y2K hullabaloo. I was reminded of this recently because Jamie found the films for the job at the t-shirt silkscreen place he works for where the shirts were printed.

    But also, I was thinking about Y2K recently because Kristen and I just finished watching Sports Night, which had an episode devoted to Y2K. Oh dated humor, you kill me.

    And in case you were wondering, I’m happy to report that I’m confident everything will be Y2.009KOK here at Songspeak.

    Josh Groban sings TV theme song medley at Emmy Awards

    posted by matt | 09.22.08 | permalink | 9 comments

    I never thought I’d be typing this, but Josh Groban gave a stellar performance at the 2008 Emmys / The Academy Awards, doing an amusing medley of television theme songs. There was quite a variety, and I think I was most impressed with seeing Groban do the South Park theme (1:45 in or so). Also notable is the theme song from Cops about 2:45 in.

    Here’s a list of all the TV theme songs Josh Groban sang or made reference to:

    The Simpsons
    Friends
    Happy Days
    Golden Girls
    Mister Roger’s Neighborhood
    The Andy Grifith Show
    The Love Boat
    Law & Order
    The Addams Family
    The Muppet Show
    The X-Files
    South Park
    The Jeffersons
    Baywatch
    The Brady Bunch
    COPS
    Law & Order
    The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
    Saturday Night Live
    The Late Show with David Letterman
    Late Night with Conan O’Brien
    The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
    Two and a Half Men
    Rawhide
    Gilligan’s Island
    M*A*S*H
    The Carol Burnett Show
    Cheers
    I Dream of Genie
