In case you’re looking for smart and/or interesting time-wasters, I’d like to point you toward two things you should know about. I discussed both of these over at my blog, and I wanted to let you know about them, too. Enjoy!

Before we take another step, I need to tell you about “Girl Robot.” Credited as the “first internet-based musical,” “Girl Robot” is a series of short films about a, well, girl robot, who goes on a new adventure every month. Each film is essentially a music video for a song that is co-written by Meredith Clark (who plays the robot) and Ricky Marson (who directs).

But here’s the kicker: These things are great. The songs are catchy, Meredith’s vocals are lovely, and Ricky has a real knack for filmmaking. Plus, these people are funny, and their humor give the clips a satisfying bite.

In the second segment, for instance, GR is singing about how she’s learning to love the rodents in New York City, and she’s subtly playing with a computer mouse. The pun is there if you want it. No pressure. No expectations. (But you totally want it. Admit it!)

As you may have figured out, Ricky and Meredith are also my friends, which makes me even more excited to spread the word. So far, there are three “Girl Robot” installments, and I’d encourage you to start with number one, since they tell a loosely chronological story.

After the jump, you can learn about the glorious, glorious Glamazons.

So did you know that the current number one show on American television is “America’s Got Talent?”

And did you know that you really need to watch this week’s episode?

Why? I’ll tell you why. Because of The Glamazons.

A New York-based quartet of singing divas who pride themselves on being plus-sized and fabulous, The Glamazons will make their first appearance on “America’s Got Talent” TONIGHT–Tuesday, June 26–at 8:00 PM on NBC.

And why is this exciting? Because Andrew–yes, my Andrew–is arranging all their music. I won’t give away anything else about what’s going to happen, but suffice it to say that everything the ladies sing on the show will bear the genius stamp of New York’s finest vocal coach and arranger. Okay, maybe I’m biased. But really, I’m not. He’s the best.

Plus, Andrew’s brother Dave is doing all The Glamazon’s orchestrations.

So get your DVRs fired up, because it’s time to record this series, y’all.
