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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here are a few books Houstonist thinks your friends and family won't use for doorstops (that's the fruitcake, right?). Everyone likes a good read, or at least a smart-looking book to sit on the nightstand. Give these a try. And shop at your local independent bookstore -- they can give you even more recommendations, and probably a good cup of coffee as well.

::Live Downtown Kick-off Party:: Before you have to battle the Spoon vs. Girl Talk decision tonight, stop by an event that doesn't require you to choose between your two favorite children.

Austinist gets arty with an interactive guide to SXSW, loved some local art galleries and a new art exhibit and lamented the possible loss of "Friday Night Lights" production to New Mexico. Bostonist was happy they finally found an Anna Nicole Smith connection to their fair city and that an Apple Store was opening up. They were less happy that new rules have been established limiting underage shows and that their Governor is spending...

Under questioning in the first day of the mayor's daughter's DWI trial, the Harris County deputy who arrested Elena White testified yesterday that he made some mistakes, including letting another deputy constable block the view from the camera mounted in his patrol car while White was taking field sobriety tests. Pct. 5 Deputy Constable Nicholas Derkowski, who had been on the force for about two months when he arrested White on Memorial Drive on Aug....

Houstonist loves a drive in the country — the fresh air, the quaint towns, the wide-open landscapes. And, of course, we enjoy stopping once in a while to moo at a field full of cows. Which makes us wonder sometimes: What the heck do cows do all day, anyway? (They probably wonder the same thing about us, a bunch of city kids who pull over to torment animals. But whatever.) Yeah, we've seen that...

The Chron's features staff takes an amusing look at surveillance cameras today in light of HPD Chief Harold Hurtt's call for citywide cameras. As the paper notes, Metro already has cameras focused on Main Street, so writer Lana Berkowitz decided to monitor one and see what went down. She watched the view from the cam at Main and McKinney for an hour, and she didn't see any suspicious goings-on — or did she? Some selections...

Sometimes there is so much to eat in the West Loop area that our head explodes and our stomach churns emptily from over-contemplation. On those days we ditch the dishes we love from exotic lands and instead drop $4 for a quick cafeteria-style lunch at Sky Deli.
