The most interesting thing I learned to cook during quarantine was: Our families aren’t exactly “podding” together, but we’ve seen each other a few times during the pandemic and have shared some very lovely socially-distanced evenings. The celebrity I’d most want to quarantine with is:

Once the lockdown hit, I dug my ancient PS3 out of storage, ordered a bunch of old games for cheap off of eBay, and spent an inordinate amount of time killing demons and blowing things up late at night while my family was sleeping. It’s pretty much a perfect movie.Ī new hobby I picked up in quarantine was: Not the remake, mind you - the original 1979 film with Alan Arkin and Peter Falk. The old-favorite movie I returned to for comfort this year was: (They later became Paul Collins’ Beat - I’m told they’re the reason why the English Beat had to add “English” to their name in the U.S.) Anyway, it’s just a great big dumb power-pop record from the late Seventies, and every time I listen to it, I’m immediately transported back to my dorm room at college.

My favorite TV show to stream during quarantine was:Īunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun - by far the best surrealistic Australian sketch comedy series currently available on Netflix. I’ve always loved those guys, and I’m inspired and amazed by the fact that they’ve been consistently releasing brilliant albums since the 70s.

The album I listened to the most in 2020 was:Ī Steady Drip, Drip, Drip by Sparks. It was an opportunity to check out three new books about himself, catch up on TV, play some old video games, and contemplate the inevitable “heat death of the universe.” He checked in with Rolling Stone via e-mail. “Weird Al” Yankovic was always planning on spending much of 2020 at home after touring all over America during the past two years, but he didn’t count on a pandemic that would make any sort of travel nearly impossible.

We’ll be rolling these pieces out throughout December. So, How Was Your 2020? is a series in which our favorite entertainers answer our questionnaire about the music, culture and memorable moments that shaped their year.
