[Music] Album of the Year

Hands down, William Shatner's Has Been. With help from Ben Folds, Joe Jackson, Aimee Mann, Adrian Belew, Brad Paisley and others. If you didn't know it was William Shatner, you'd love it too. Imagine if Leonard Cohen had spent most of his life as Gene Roddenberry's bitch. It's just that good.

Also — and this is the Age of Shatner, whether we like it or not — I cannot praise too highly Shatner's new TV show — his show and James Spader's — Boston Legal. David Kelley has spent most of his career trying to make us care about lawyers as human beings — Ally McBeal, The Practice, L.A. Law — and now finally he's just said "Fuck it! Let's treat them like the soulless monsters they really are!" Good for him! Good for us! And Spader ..... Shatner ..... it doesn't get any more soulless than that.
