Stephen Root, of Barry and Office Space fame, does deadpan humor like no one else. Again: Unsung! Every line Phil Hartman delivers is masterful. The television show I’m most enjoying right now: After cycling through The Office, The Larry Sanders Show, Parks and Recreation, a slew of Ken Burns documentaries, and several seasons of Alone, my wife and I have started watching NewsRadio at night before we fall asleep. I will be screaming every word to every song. Recently, when The Walkmen announced a five-night run in Manhattan in April, I impulsively bought tickets for all five shows. To me, they are the unsung heroes of the turn-of-the-millennium New York rock renaissance (think: The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Interpol-all the Meet Me in the Bathroom bands). The upcoming event I’m most looking forward to: I spent nearly a decade waiting and praying for The Walkmen to maybe someday reunite, doubting that it would ever happen. What the longest study on human happiness found is the key to a good life.
