TV on the Radio Rock the Colbert Report

TV on the Radio were on the Colbert Report last night there was a hilarously fantastic chat with Dave, Kyp and Tunde that I've posted below, but you'll have to check out the whole ep on the site. By the by they played "Dancing Choose" again.
& I love that Colbert referred to Robert Plant as a plate of Fettuccini Carbonara and Coldplay's as "[They gave rock album of the year to] the cashier's at Long John Silver," based on their costumes.

Semi- Drunken Superbowl Pics

Whitney's boyfriend Monte had a Superbowl Party and these were the 4 pictures I took before I concluded I'd probably drop my camera or spill beer all over it, and put it away.

Coldplay on "60 Minutes"

The band was profiled on "60 Minutes" Sunday night before they won a slew of Grammys, and it was a pretty entertaining interview.

Mr. Paul McCartney

While Dave Grohl is one of the best frontmen in Rock & Roll I love it when he plays the drums.

I've been praising Adele and her talent for some time now, so I'm sooooooooo happy she got the credit she deserves and won Best New Artist.

Here's Sugarland's performance followed by Adele with Chasing Pavements

An SNL Digital Short that was shot in Miami

When I saw the application for this production come across my desk, I didn't think much of it except for that the title, "I'm on a boat" seemed pretty dumb. Since they were shooting primarily on private property and a boat I didn't think too much of it,but the title stayed with me and I'm kind of glad it did. If the video doesn't load check it out here.

The Grammy's were basically the best Rock Assembly ever...

Back when I was at boarding school each term one assembly was fully dedicated to student performance and called Rock Assembly, which is what I always kinda thought The Grammy's were, but with more famous people and more cleavage. Year after year I've tuned in for the performances, but this year I actually cared about the awards, because I was hoping Radiohead or M.I.A would win, and they both kinda did in their own respects, "In Rainbows" won the award for Best Alternative Album, and "Swagger Like Us" which was inspired by M.I.A's Paper Planes won Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Though of course those awards weren't broadcast because the show would have been 8 hours long, you can check out all the winners here, if you actually want to know who won what.

I don't know if you caught the broadcast but here are a few of my favorite performances.

First and foremost Radiohead doing 15 Step with the USC Band was epic, fun and proved Thom Yorke is quite possibly the dopest MOFO on the planet because he's always willing to push the boundaries and create amazing music as well as phenomenal live performances. Plus Gwenyth introduced them, so that was pretty dope (as was her outfit.)
