This Week In Musical Guests: Week Of January 30th, 2012

By Morad Moazami

At first sight, travesty after travesty seems to haunt this week’s late-night line up, as The Airborne Toxic Event and Lana Del Rey finally engage in a battle to prove their unadulterated mediocrity, only to be followed by florid amounts of Evanescence polluting your blameless airwaves. Additionally, Korn might perform a track off their new dubstep record, which may actually prove entertaining in the most woeful and devastating way possible.

Fortunately, Fitz and the Tantrums, M83, The Horrors, Bon Iver and Bjork are also featured this week, offering compensation to all the musical atrocities you may have to withstand.
