         <title>She&apos;s Contrapting!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Some solid moments in this week's two-part episode, but even so, I think the show is nearing the end of its creative life. And that's okay.

         <title>&quot;Idol&quot; Lurches On</title>
         <description><![CDATA[This show is as much an endurance test for the viewers as the contestants. Every step of the process is simultaneously made to feel like the biggest moment in the season and just another step on the road to the <i>real</i> drama. It's everywhere and nowhere. I'm looking forward to May.

         <description><![CDATA[I know it feels like this blog is turning into a giant repository for "Lost" and "American Idol" recaps, but I swear, things will change soon. I'll be at South by Southwest, and have some other pieces kicking around. But for now, well, I'm up to my eyes in TV recaps. I hope you like them, and choose to stick around:

         <description><![CDATA[This week sees the beginning of "American Idol" proper, with live performance shows and elimination episodes. It's late February; the season runs into May. I have no idea how I will make it.

A solid episode. Always good to see the real Locke tooling around again:

         <title>&quot;Idol&quot; Now A Master At Delaying The Inevitable</title>
         <description><![CDATA["American Idol" is now wrapping up its Hollywood Week in typically slow fashion. By the end of this season, I'll be exhausted from all the fake-outs and postponed reveals.

         <title>It Won&apos;t Be Long</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://slowlygoingbald.com/images/meet_the_beatles.jpg"><img alt="meet_the_beatles.jpg" src="http://slowlygoingbald.com/images/meet_the_beatles-thumb.jpg" width="485" height="363" /></a>

I'm fascinated by the fact that The Beatles' albums were often released in dramatically chopped and repackaged ways to manufacture more content in the United States. I know that even today, albums can have slight changes between their U.K. and U.S. versions, but this seems like an extreme that hasn't been matched in years. The Beatles' U.S. records feel like history from an alternate universe, and <a href="http://onrecord.tumblr.com/post/386337650/the-beatles-meet-the-beatles-1964-a-gift"target="_blank"><b>I'm now hooked</b></a> on collecting them.]]></description>

         <title>Did You Ever Consider That You Might Not Be As Charming As You Think You Are?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Last night's "The Office" was flat and boring and not nearly as good as the preceding episodes of "Community" and "Parks and Recreation." It reminded me of how Jim and Pam were <a href="http://wweek.com/editorial/3351/9898/"target="blank">jerks for a while</a> a couple seasons back. Here's hoping the show gets its groove back soon:
