Ear on TV: Week of December 18

Happy holidays, Channukah is already upon us and you'd think that with Christmas in one week, the music appearances would tail off... but no, there's still plenty to feast on in the coming week. Must-hear artists like Gnarls Barkley, The Dears, Cold War Kids and Nellie McKay make for an eventful week. But I'm most interested in seeing OK Go perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live, as they'll be tackling The Kinks' "Father Christmas." Maybe they'll even be accompanied by another choreographed dance sequence. Dancing elves are big this time of year, I hear.

Speaking of dancing elves, I can almost guarantee that Gnarls Barkley's performance Thursday on Jimmy Kimmel Live will include some festive zaniness.

As for last week's pick (JT hosting SNL,) if you saw, you already know the gift to give this year.
