Hope you were able to catch Bon Iver on Saturday Night Live last night. Unfortunately I missed it due to being heavily sedated and overly comfortable. Also…I’m an ‘Oldster’.Anyway, I went to my trusty stand-by…youtube. It seems NBC doesn’t like it’s shows on there and has them pulled off. I was able to find the link that is posted above, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets pulled soon. Sorry for the big white ads across the bottom… You can go to nbc.com to see the full videos, I just can’t post them here…
Did you catch ‘internet sensation’ Lana Del Rey on SNL this past Saturday? It seems her performance is being bashed pretty hard. I thought it was OK. I’m not really familiar with her work, so I didn’t have a reference to compare it to. I definitely think she’s a hipster.
I just remembered there’s a free download of her single ‘Born to Die’ still available on iTunes. So you may want to get that.
I heard at the end of the show that on Saturday Feb 4th, Bon Iver is the musical guest. REALLY looking forward to that. If you’re not familiar with Bon Iver, you really owe it to yourself to check it out!
I just got done watching the first season of the awesome hipster TV show Portlandia. It is now streaming instantly on Netflix. The second season just got stared on the Independent Film Channel if you have cable.
The show feels a lot like watching Saturday Night Live sketches (which is a good thing) maybe due to Fred Armisen being a current SNL cast member and the show is produced by SNL creator Lorne Michaels.
The other co-star of the show is Carrie Brownstein best known for being the guitarist for the Portland, Oregon based band Sleater-Kinney as well as being a writer and actress. She is hilarious.
