Music on TV - Week of 11.14.11: M83

M83 performs on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Monday, November 21.

It's a short week, so we can give thanks while gorging on large flightless birds and watching overgrown men wearing protective padding run into each other. As such, the talk show listings are short and sweet.

The sweetest this week is M83 making an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (Monday). Frenchman Anthony Gonzalez has crafted album after album of tributes to his childhood, and his latest, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, is his pièce de résistance. Serving almost as an almalgamation of all his previous releases, HUWD is bigger, no grander, reaching for big moments in every song. His live shows have wowed audiences across the country and so there are expectations for him to push boundaries of the 'small screen.'

Enjoy your turkey, jive humans, and maybe I'll see you later in the week.
