Your library blogger is holding her breath with anticipation for this week’s Saturday Night Live. The show will be hosted by the hilarious Rainn Wilson of The Office. And the musical guest? Canadian rockers Arcade Fire, who may indeed be the greatest band alive and certainly the band most likely to perform with a hurdy gurdy and an accordion on national television.
After the show, you will probably want to visit Prospector and check out The Office and grab an Arcade Fire album or two. True fans of Rainn Wilson will want to reminisce about his work in Six Feet Under, all seasons available from the UW Libraries audio visual department. Delightful!
Here is an advance taste of what waits for you Saturday night. Leave a comment about the show!
Arcade Fire was great, but the SNL writers totally wasted Rainn Wilson. He did what he could with the bad material he was given, but I was disappointed.
You are so right! The writing was not up to par, but the music was beautiful. I heard that after the show, Arcade Fire performed three songs in the middle of the crowd with the cast dancing all around. Awesome!
