Last week was quite a week. Oscar nominations came out. The U.S. got a new president. Aretha Franklin’s hat became an instant national treasure. And most importantly, Lost returned. Big week.
With all that riffraff behind us, all the good stuff is happening on late-night TV this week. We’re in the midst of new music releases, and the artists are out there singing their little hearts out to get your recession discretionary funds. Franz Ferdinand’s pimping Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, Andrew Bird’s whistling for Noble Beast, and M83 are still riding high from all those year-end lists last month. All in all, a good week to stay up a little later.
