Critics rarely agree on anything, but TVOTR brought all those bespectacled, tight-clothed, scruffy-so-it-looks-like-I'm-a-slacker-but-it-takes-me-an-hour-to-get-ready writers together last year by releasing Dear Science,. They're on a victory lap, of sorts, and will be playing on SNL this weekend (that dude from Wedding Crashers... Sac, or Zac, or something... he was the d-bag... will be hosting), with a follow-up performance on the Colbert Report Monday [MLT: I fought hard to use a "TV On the Radio... On the TV!" joke. ARW: But that's lame.] This isn't meant to be a review of the album or a discussion on the band, but anyone who likes music should be listening to TVOTR. Start with Dear Science, and if you don't want to check out the rest of their catalogue, I'll take it back.Various Artists - 51st Grammy Awards (CBS, Sunday, 8pm)
51st Grammy Awards, and the first relevant Grammy Awards in as long as I've followed music. This should actually be a really interesting show; between the rumored collaborations, the strong nominees for the major categories, and the insane Katie Couric interview of Lil' Wayne this week, nothing could surprise me. I can't wait to see if they have the balls to give a major award to Lil' Wayne (this generation's James Brown). We'll have a full recap of the Grammys next week, breaking down performances and the winners. Grad Student style.
