its still mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. -_-

I do like how we have a formal account on the whereabouts and whatsits on dr. kiki.

But they're still standing! GAH! Oh, ok- stools. Sigh...

I'll take it with a grain of salt, but only 'cuz i'm madly in love with Sarah.



They made a point of showing them sitting. Sarah even told us to follow her as the camera panned.

What is so wrong with standing? It doesn't bother me.

The best part of this episode was the globe with the arrows. Classic.

Keep up the great work, ladies!

So much better than last week. I don't feel like my head is spinning from things moving too quickly anymore.

One request: Bring back the outtakes!

I prefer the new and improved popSiren, I didn't like much the old version.

May I suggest playing a song sample while talking about new records. It will avoid me looking up band that I don't like.

I thought it was tighter and smoother. Still wish it was longer. I liked it. It had everything I want in my weekly fix: a sarah tip (bit.ly), a heather music pick (fleet foxes), funny news editorial by moujan and banter.

All good stuff.

Sarah's voice sounded bad. Hope she is feeling better.

Ok, after last week's episode with the green screen that blended with the chyron graphic that made Heather look like she had no legs (Am I the only one that saw that? Yes? Ok.). Ugh--I forgot to finish that sentence after the rambling about leglessnessy people.

I meant to say that I like this episode _more_ that last week but _less_ than the old format.

###My Thoughts:
1. The transitions are nicer and smoother (Still not 'there' yet, though.) and the non-fixed cameras make it look more like "real" TV. (Whatever that is.)
2. Sarah and Moujan still rock it.
3. Still missing Neha + Jessica... but less than before.
4. See the above/rambled bit about the Heather segment... but I
