I'd have to agree with Lick on the Oasis front. I'd suggest LD's more like a Damon Albarn if the metaphor is pushed. Had his most commercial success long ago (not true for Damon, but that's the perception), but what he's still doing is brilliant, probably the best work of his career. Although Damon has got less famous personally, whereas LD is the opposite. Actually it's a poor metaphor and I'd like to withdraw it - maybe I'm just cheekily bashing Oasis.
Really enjoyed the run of Curb this season - the first I've watched on a week-by-week basis. A big improvement from season 5, with some monster episodes. Definitely a major mid-season dip, but the first few episodes alone justified the phrase 'return to form'. Not enough Jeff, and strange how sidelined Cheryl was - is there any particular reason for this? - but LD was great throughout, and Funkhauser was immense.
