The Jazz Bakery: We desperately hope that this isnât a âdonât know what you got till itâs goneâ situation and that this intimate, reverent little music hall finds a new home -- soon. Itâs not a terribly good time for music, but hereâs to this room beating the odds and coming back better than ever before. May the Bakery rise again.
Vincent on âLostâ: Even after mulling it a while, weâre still baffled about whatâs going on with those time-traveling castaways. (Though weâre thankful Waltâs chubby yellow lab -- played by Madison, according to IMDb.com -- made another appearance.) Whatever lies ahead, we hope the series doesnât wrap up without one trademark flashback from Vincent.

BBC Americaâs âTop Gearâ: After seeing a few episodes of the popular show hosted by chattering gearheads Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, weâre a bit overwhelmed by the testosterone. Yes, there was a Helen Mirren guest spot a while back, but with the programâs live audience, itâs sort of like âThe Man Showâ dipped in 30-weight.
Hipsters hating hipsters: Scratch almost every scruffy-bearded Echo Park guitarist in an American Apparel T-shirt and youâll find someone bemoaning all those sheep smoking Parliament cigarettes and wearing vintage Ray-Bans at his local vegan diner. Enough. If youâre living in a hip neighborhood, youâre probably a hipster. And honestly, itâs OK.
