Saturday Night Live and Redemption

Modest Mouse will appear on Saturday Night Live tonight, performing "Ocean Breathes Salty" and "Float On." Liam Neeson will guest host.

Speaking of SNL, those of you silly enough to buy an Ashlee Simpson CD when her daddy and MTV told you she had indie cred can now exchange the lip-synching hoedown queen's CD for something better. The Horrified Observers of Pedestrian Entertainment (H.O.P.E.), Rhino Records and the Knitting Factory will trade you for another artist, such as Elvis Costello, the Ramones, Ray Charles, Joni Mitchell, Aretha Franklin or the Grateful Dead. Bring your CD to the Knitting Factory in NYC or visit www.hopeinamerica.com for more information on making the exchange.
