The Week Ahead...

Monday
The Decemberists play the Kool Haus. Yes, another band that everyone loves will perform before what will surely be close to a sold out show.

The Decemberists - O Valencia!

Tuesday
A new deluxe edition of Gnarls Barkley’s smash record St. Elsewhere will be found at your local record store. The new double disc set features the album, as well as a DVD featuring four of the duo’s videos.

The Raptors will need major improvements from some of their key acquisitions – namely Jorge Garbajosa.

Thursday

Saturday
MAD TV, Fox's sometimes-funny, sometimes-terrible sketch comedy show will be highlighted by a live action send up of Family Guy, featuring Seth MacFarlane himself as Peter Griffin... interesting. Be prepared to be unimpressed.
