This past week produced performances from Bloc Party, Animal Collective, Spoon, and others.

As reported, Spoon is scheduled to play on 'Saturday Night Live' this season on October 6th. Now, we've learned that they are canceling/postponing a couple of shows to do it.

SNL is about to begin its 33rd season and they'll be kicking it correct with Kanye West joining host LeBron James in the first episode. Here's holding out for a Kanye vs. 50 Cent parody featuring Kenan Thompson in 50's spot. I bet it won't happen but I know it should.

After the first episode, SNL will bring on musical guests Spoon, Foo Fighters and Bon Jovi. In fact, Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi will host the episode featuring the Foo Fighters' music. I wonder if they'll do any energy drink skits. That's my Jovi.

We're talking dates with The New Pornographers, The Shins, and The Ponys.

Have no fear residents of the District of Columbia! Ticket swapping shall occur!

The Spoon boys have a new one for "Don't You Evah."

It's gonna be indie-tastic!

It takes place October 16th through 20th in New York City.

After willing myself out of bed Saturday "morning," I caught some great shows -- including a thrasher from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

They've also canceled an Austin affair.

We're just as confused as you are.
