The Decemberists on Colbert (sans green screen)
Colin Meloy and Chris Funk were on the Colbert Report Monday night to discuss their new album Hazards Of Love, 19th century lyrical references, and the origin's of Meloy's sideburns. Colbert really has an effect on people... Meloy seems pretty nervous, and not long ago, Coach K was pretty stiff in the interview chair as well. At least the performance of "The Wanting Comes In Waves" was excellent (and man, Shara Worden is a babe... listen to her wail!). Enjoy.

Hearing Music Whilst Watching Television
TV On The Radio - Saturday Night Live (NBC, 11:30pm) and The Colbert Report (Comedy Central, Monday, 11:30pm)
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.
