I'm doubly surprised... I saw the season finale of Making the Band this evening (you'll notice a strong music bent to a lot of my posts in this Blog; I'll talk more about it in a few entries).

First, the band did get a recording contract - and one that could easily be called major: they're signed with Clive Davis, possibly the biggest record executive of our generation (!).

Second was the surprise that the show is being picked up for a second season. This is a big surprise, not because the show is bad; as a guy formerly involved in music big time, I enjoy watching the process. No, I'm surprised because it had already been announced that the show wasn't being picked up.

I guess that news was premature.
