· We suppose we could do some research to find the name of the guy who rocked the meanest motherscratching ukulele solo we have ever heard on Conan last night, but frankly, it's late and we're tired. Besides, all you need to know is that this fella is even more earnest in his desire to rock than Jables was in School Of Rock. Roy Smeck, eat your heart out. [Late Night with Conan O'Brien]
· Human Giant's Rob Huebel finally gets around to learning the lesson that John Bobbitt taught us back on a warm summer night in 1993. Namely, that having your penis cut off is the fastest way to get famous. [Funny Or Die]
· Slashfilm has the first look (at least the first that we have seen) of Richard Kelly's next directorial effort, The Box. [Slashfilm]
· Jamie Lynn Spears got grounded. What possible trouble can a pregnant girl get into that doesn't involve burger phones, you ask? Going out in public with her boyfriend, that's what! [Radar]
· Look up, it's a solar eclipse! (And by solar, we really meant lunar.) [LAist]

Jake Shimabukuro. Dude's a genius with that instrument.
You should see his YouTube videos. I think he's got Stairway to Heaven on there, but I'm too lazy and hungover to go find it.
Not to nitpick, but it's a lunar eclipse.
Can we begin the formal process of stripping Lynn Spears of her status as a publicly-recognized "parent"? The chutzpah of her trying to control JL's movement is fucking hi-larious....that train left the station sometime in November, grandma.
To paraphrase Poppa Morgan on Dexter, "Whatever you think is right, do the opposite."
mmm... yeah...
I've been lucky enough to have seen Jake live a couple of times and he's incredible.
Taste some more Shimabukuro goodness:
