So, there’s this band called St. Vincent. Well, it’s not really a band because it’s just this one lady named Annie Clark.

The Web site Pitchforkmedia.com (the oft-polarizing tastemaker) recently did an interview with her for their recurring Guest List feature. Guest List features musicians discussing their various favorites (movies, books, record stores). Anyway, for her response to the favorite TV show question, she was effusive with praise for Arrested Development and even confessed that she named her album, “Marry Me,” after it (think of Maeby exclaiming it to her fellow studio execs).

Take a look at a snippet:

St. Vincent: Whenever I think of the album I say to myself “Marry me!” [laughs] you know? It’s in my brain. And I would get so confused doing interviews and stuff when nobody would get the joke, like they thought I was seriously saying, “marry me.” They thought it was so sincere.

Pitchfork: They thought you were just single and looking?

St. Vincent: Yeah, I mean that’s totally desperate [laughs]. Totally desperate.

I totally like her at least 200% more now. Read the rest of the interview here.

Normally when I hear the words “basic cable half-hour sitcom,” I picture cheap sets, possibly improvised dialogue, and uncomfortably weird characters. I also picture myself changing the channel because that shit can be painful.

Well, take away the improvised dialogue and me changing the channel, and add in a whole lot of genuine laughs, and you’ve got The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman on IFC. You guys, this show is funny!

It stars Laura Kightlinger, who has seriously amazing timing, along with at least two faces you might recognize: The oldest daughter from The Nanny, now playing a slutty grown-up! The chick who knew she was going to die in the 7th season of Buffy (this one absolutely killed me until I figured it out — she’s got a very distinctive voice)! Etc, etc!

Laura is Jackie, a booze-loving, irresponsible writer in LA. The oldest daughter (whose name, I’m now remembering, was Maggie) from The Nanny is Tara, her slutty friend. I really don’t think there’s anything else you need to know. TiFaux it. Expect laughter. Thank me later.

Oh, Larry. You’re such a goof.

• NBC is now streaming Conan.
• Victoria Beckham will play herself on Ugly Betty.
• Drew Lachey will host a show called Dance War. Which, for the record, is the closest I could ever come to actual military service.
• Busy Phillips will be coming to How I Met Your Mother.
• Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin will present at the Emmys. That’s really all you need to know about this story, but click the link to see the mega-awkward press photo of the two of them.

TiFaux isn’t just a Web site, you know. It’s a tightly knit community.

And by “tightly knit,” I mean “I’ve never met most of these people.”

As such, I decided to break down the blogger/commenter barrier and pick the brains of some of our regular fixtures. First up is “Vance,” from Toronto. Vance’s interests include TV, Harry Potter, sushi and other dudes. He’s also Canadian, and you know how much I like Canadians (well I do — they’re typically very nice).

Next installment: John Walker (the British dude)

• Apparently, Heidi Klum was effing with us on that Project Runway date.
• Ask Ausiello’s new with Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives scoop.
• David Spade will welcome Heather Locklear to Rules of Engagement. Sorry. This is a slow news day.  But yesterday was huge.  I don’t owe you anything.
• In more guest star news, James Van Der Beek will be on Ugly Betty and Jason Alexander will be on The New Adventures of Old Christine.
• Jay Leno is angry that he sucks.

Truth be told, I’m not the world’s hugest Feist fan.

I love off “Let It Die,” but I kind of thought the rest of the album was a bit of a snooze. However, the new album, “The Reminder,” is a bit more engaging and enjoyable from what I’ve heard.

But what you guys really need to see is the video for “1 2 3 4.” I mean, seriously.

I’ve never been the kind of queen who gets all worked up over musicals and costumes and choreography. I like my movies to be movies and my music to be music. But this is a super-fun video to watch and the song is cheery and upbeat.

And if that wasn’t enough, take a look at this performance from Letterman. Via Stereogum, Feist assembled a huge chorus of indie rock superstar including Jason and Kori from Mates of State as well as members of Grizzly Bear, The National and The New Pornographers to help her out. They’re all clad in white like little indie angels.

Or cult members.
