It's looks to be a good week for new music.

-ABC, 11:05pm: Jimmy Kimmel Live, Maroon 5

The Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige takes the stage at the latest installment of Vh1 Storytellers, airing tonight at 7pm on Vh1.

Fresh off his Grammy win for Record of the Year, jazz pianist Herbie Hancock [pictured] will perform on the View this week.

Sultry Brazilian songstress Bebel Gilberto [pictured] sings about love a lot, so it seems fitting that she is scheduled to perform on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson show on Valentine's night.

The Foo Fighters, Beyonce, Rihanna and many others are set to perform at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards airing next Sunday on CBS at 7pm.

It's Superbowl Sunday next week, and you know what that means... a ridiculously over-blown Halftime Show/pyrotechnic extravaganza!!! Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are set to perform this year.

Unfortunately, our pick of the week has already aired. Kimya Dawson and Adam Green of the Moldy Peaches performed our favorite song from the Juno soundtrack, "Anyone Else But You," on The View this morning. We're hoping it'll pop up on The View's website or on Youtube soon.

The Mars Volta will be performing on Letterman this week, mostly likely in support of their upcoming epic, The Bedlam in Goliath. Too bad the intellectual prog-rockers with Texas roots currently have no shows in the Lone Star State scheduled on their winter tour. We kind of think that's cold-blooded.

Most of the late-night talk shows are back with new shows this year, proving that scripted comedians can actually be kinda funny on their own! This week, electronic rockers MGMT [pictured] are scheduled to perform on Letterman. Like what you hear? Be sure to catch the duo when they come to town to play at Walter's on Sunday, January 20.

Staying in for New Year’s Eve? Log on to the internets at 11pm to watch Radiohead perform their new album, In Rainbows, on Current TV. The webcast will air three more times on Tuesday for those of you who spend the night out on the town.

So Colbie Caillat is scheduled to sing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show this week. We mention this mainly because the lyrics to her hit song, "Bubbly," make us chuckle.

We're psyched about Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings' appearance on Letterman later this week, and we think you should be too. Watch their brilliant video for the single, "100 Days, 100 Nights." Monday -CBS, 10:35pm: The Late Show with David Letterman, Jay-Z -ABC, 11:05pm: Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ben Harper Tuesday -NBC, 7am: Today Show, The Brian Setzer Orchestra -CBS, 10:35pm: The Late Show with David Letterman, the cast of Young Frankenstein Wednesday -CBS, 12:05am:...

Looks like it's going to be slim pickings for awhile, folks. A reader informed us last week that all late night shows are in repeat mode for the duration of the writer's strike. Bummer. Recommended viewing this week includes any TV appearances by Alicia Keys, and Nicole Atkins' (pictured) wonderful Letterman performance in case you missed it the first time around. Monday -CBS, 10:35pm: The Late Show with David Letterman, Ryan Adams Tuesday -ABC, 7am:...

Hey Houston, do you want your MusicTV? No, we’re not talking about the reality TV channel of the same name, although we admit we have watched that ridiculous Lauren-Heidi melodrama on occasion. (Actually, we don't miss an episode, but we're not proud of ourselves!) Each week, we’ll give you the 411 on televised music performances that are so good, they’ll almost make it worth your while to sit through Jay Leno’s monologues! Monday -ABC, 11:05pm:...

Each week Houstonist checks out the Missed Connections on Craiglist. Here's a few that we found interesting. thats funny - m4w - 20 hey, i dont understand what the hell is wrong with you?! first of all you dump me for some ugly ass jobless loser, because i went out with my friends?! how the hell does that happen im hot, in great shape, and thats what you leave me for a fat, huge...

On the heels of last week's performance on David Letterman, Atlanta-based indie-rock outfit Manchester Orchestra arrives at Warehouse Live tomorrow night. If you'd like to hear a man with a fantastic voice, check out former Mavericks lead vocalist Raul Malo Thursday night (also at Warehouse Live). Friday night, check out some local indie rock -- .belville at Rudyard's. Saturday is a tough call: The Killers with Louis XIV are at Reliant Arena and Reverend...

Holy smokes! Giant fish on the MTA, Paris Hilton in jail, then out, then in again, Al Gore, goatses, blumpkins, Matt Damon, and baby art critics! It's been a busy week across the Ist-A-Verse, and here's a smattering of what's been going on. In Gothamist's neck of the woods, they found out that many things are possible: A man caught a 40+ pound fish off the Rockaways and took it home on the subway. Graffiti...

That's right, gents and ladies, we at Houstonist have a new feature for you to sink your teeth into, and it's called the Top 10ist. Since we're pretty sure Letterman doesn't have a trademark on top ten lists, we are going to start coming up with our own top ten lists - HOUSTON STYLE. Won't you help us? Read on. Here's the idea: every Monday, we present a question or prompt for the next...

It’s been almost three and a half years since The Shins released their last album Chutes Too Narrow. Since that time, their popularity has soared – mainly thanks to Zach Braff for showcasing two songs from 2001’s Oh, Inverted World in the movie and soundtrack Garden State. In that movie, the lead female character explains to Braff that The Shins will "change your life." They may or may not change your life, but they just...

If you're hiking, consider charging up your iPod, as Seattlest finds out that a man lost during a hike was found by the glow of his iPod. That cleverness seems to be devoid in cops who were using police cruiser instant messaging clients - although we imagine IMs "so are you nakie" to be included in cop shows, just for realism. If only the cops were busting the Hummer-driving jerk who made a poor...

It looks like it's wildlife week here at Houstonist, what with the feral hogs and the wandering longhorn — and now there's a 10-foot python. Tom Jones and his sons didn't expect to catch a snake when they went fishing near Savoy Road and Highway 90 in Sugar Land. But they sure did:
