Jon Stewart is taking the evening off from his usual ridiculously funny fake news reporting to host Hollywood's most plastic event -- the Oscars. Stewart will be following last year's somewhat controversial selection of Chris Rock. When asked about the choice, Stewart said, "As a performer, I'm truly honored to be hosting the show. As an avid watcher of the Oscars, I can't help but be a little disappointed with the choice." Now if we could get Tucker Carlson to co-host the event, that could promise a really exciting event.

Grade: A+ | Genre: Alt-Country Summary: Okkervil River's Black Sheep Boy is in everybody's top ten list for 2005, but the EP they released this November seems destined to be a collector's item. Since I'm a Texan, I'm biased towards any music that comes out of my state. So I love it when I hear music that allows me to speak in absolutes like "Stevie Ray Vaughan is the best guitar player ever" and "Chamillionaire is the best rapper alive". Both of those statements are 100% true, and so is this one: Black Sheep Boy Appendix is the best EP you will ever hear. I feel comfortable making that statement because I don't think many of you are going to go on EP-buying sprees to prove me wrong. Oh yeah, and because it's absolutely amazing.
