Biggest Surprise: N/A (see above, though Turner may have finally finished making his case for the genius of The Dandy Warhols' Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia album, despite lame-ass band and album name - at least Beau seemed convinced anyway)

Jon D. [apropos of nothing]: I'm itchin' for Bitchin'.
