Saturday Night Live
Lana Del Rey was this weekend’s musical guest on Saturday Night Live and I can’t say with any certainty that this performance was good. Was she nervous? Is she ready for all of this attention? Watch the videos and let me know what you think.

Holy shit.
Lana Del Rey will make her U.S. TV debut on Saturday Night Live January 14 in advance of her new album Born to Die
(January 31 / Interscope).
I’m impressed, if that’s even the right word. Not sure I would put this vixen up in front of a national TV audience and guarantee her two musical slots as a first shot, but she seems to be making hella waves right now and there’s still a huge swath of the public that does not get informed musically via the hipster music blogs. Carles is going to have a field day with this one…

This weekend’s newest episode of Saturday Night Live with Zach Galifianakis was a solid effort from the NBC crew. I wasn’t sure how well his humor was going to translate to that sort of setting, but his monologue set the tone for the evening with a piano jam, “Kilometers Davis” style, and the rest of the evening was totally watchable. Which, for Saturday Night Live, continues to be the yardstick by which my friends and I measure whether or not it was a good episode or not.
The strong performers of the night besides the crew and host were the musical guests in Vampire Weekend, making their second stop by the fabled franchise. The band performed “Cousins” without exception for their first song, and brought in some backups for “Giving Up the Gun” to help close out the show as their second song. It’s exactly what I would have expected from the band. READ MORE
