TV On The Radio, Lonely Island, Fake Björk Liven Up Saturday Night This week's SNL featured music guest TV On The Radio and host The Mean Guy In Wedding Crashers. Over the course of "Golden Age" and "Dancing Choose," TVOTR sounded like they could have used more time soundchecking, but the video for Lonely Island's "I'm On A Boat" and Kristen Wiig's Björk On The Icelandic Economy bits help make the show a fairly fun one for music people. Watch it all.

Golden Age didn't come across too well live, to say the least. Dancing Choose wasn't bad. Would've liked to have seen Shout Me Out. Just goes to show you how much of a wizard Sitek is in the studio.

I usually refer to Bradley Cooper as Bill Zebub (aka Satin) from Stella's Raking Leaves short.

I thought they were definitely decent...as far as Kyp on vocals songs, I would have loved to have heard "Crying", my favorite song on Dear Science by a good deal.

The "I'm on a Boat" skit and the Bjork skit were both hilarious...maybe it's just it's turn on the cycle but this season SNL has been exponentially funnier than any season since Will Ferrell left.

Watching the repeat. The sound is HORRIBLE. Golden Age was a disaster.
