NBC screws up Olympic coverage. Again.

NBC screws up closing ceremonies. In other news, water is wet.

In theory, they're showing the closing. In reality, it's ads mixed with "and our team won this medal! And that medal! And this other one!" At this point, I'm starting to think that we will get no part of the actual *closing ceremonies.*

Surprisingly, they're not blabbing all over the music.

...very much.

Except for the acts that were cut (Ray Davies, Kate Bush), it's Elbow during the athletes' precession that suffered the most. You could hear them, but it sounded like it sourced from mike on the ground, and then Al Michaels and Bob Costas chattered inanely over what could be heard.

Elbow gets no respect on American television. :-/

They cut Ray Davies?! Aww, man.

The sound quality during Madness and the Pet Shop Boys was also very poor. I don't recall it sounding that bad before.
