Well, Hello Dolly: Check out the new trailer for Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse below. The show, starring the lovely Eliza Dushku, has been retooled a bit and moved from the Fall schedule to February 2009, but it looks very promising. Come on, it’s from the geek god who brought you Buffy, Angel, Firefly and most recently Dr. Horrible. You know it’s going to be solid. Synopsis:
“In Dollhouse, Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, a member of a group of people known as “Actives” or “Dolls.” The Dolls have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They’re then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds.”

Sad News for Fans of the Greatest Punk Band Ever… In Memoriam: Frank Navetta of the Descendents. Frank was an original member and guitarist for 6 years. He played on the “Ride the Wild/It’s a Hectic World” single and then recorded the Fat EP in 1981 and the classic Milo Goes to College in 1982. No cause of death mentioned. While happily delving back into all things Descendents this past week, I kept going back to their best record, 1985′s I Don’t Want to Grow Up. “Silly Girl,” “Can’t Go Back,” and “My World” are still just as killer today as they were many many moons ago.
In honor of Frank, here’s two of his best from the “College” record.
