"Craig Finn of The Hold Steady Talks Friday Night Lights, Religion, and His New Record" by David Haglund - Slate.com
So The Hold Steady is my favorite band (I'll post a song at the bottom). And their lead singer Craig Finn has a new album coming out called Clear Hearts, Full Eyes, that is inspired partially by Friday Night Lights, which is probably my second favorite show of all time behind The Wire. Suffice to say, I don't think anyone in the world is quite as suped as I am for the release date. I'm weird like that. Here's an interview with Finn. The guy is smart and entertaining. Listen to the song at the bottom and then read this article. The theme of this party's the Industrial Age, and you came in dressed like a train wreck.

"Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose" by Robert Mays - Grantland.com
Goddamit. Just goddamit is all. I was going to save this article to post for Monday because doing this blog on a Sunday sucks because no one but the times posts new shit over the weekend, and then I realized that it will be irrelevant after Friday. Because Friday Night Lights is fucking ending and that makes me want to punch myself in the dick until I pass out and wake up to a new reality where those dickfarts at NBC greenlighted seasons 6 and 7 like they should have.
That being said, in real life, Eric and Tami Taylor totally boned. 100%.
p.s. Oh, the article's an in-depth oral history of the show.
p.p.s. Buncha dickfarts.
"The 10 Greatest Music Moments on Friday Night Lights" by Jayson Greene - GQ.com
I love this article, mostly because I hold Friday Night Lights as the second greatest show of all time behind The Wire (edged out The Sopranos this season in fact) and also because I'm a fan of indie music and the show has been stacking my iPod for years now. If you like music, football, TV, or things of high quality, you'll like this (and yes the songs are included, you can listen to them while you read.)

"Friday Night Lights recap" - Slate.com
Friday Night Lights is the best show on television right now, bar none. In fact, this season is so good, that it's edged out the Sopranos as my second favorite TV show of all time. Behind, obviously, The Wire, which will never be unseated. The king stays the king, nahmean?
Slate.com has some really smart people writing these recaps that I swear to you will make the show even more enjoyable. It's pretty incredible. Like having notes at the bottom of the page while reading Shakespeare. Real talk. Shakespeare.
If you clicked on this article, I'm probably preaching to the choir, so I'll just end it like this. "They came here looking for a party, I say we go out there and give 'em a fistfight!"
