This Bostonist can still recall a time, years ago, when he grabbed a couple of tickets to a taping of the Last Call with Carson Daly (don't judge) just to see TV On The Radio. The two-song set by the fiery and still-blooming Brooklyn quintet was forever burned into Bostonist's memory and made the embarrassment of having to watch Daly blather on for half an hour more than worth it. Since that day in April 2004, this Bostonist saw nothing but a bright future for TV On The Radio; while he pushed songs from Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes onto his friends for a solid year, hoping that one day the band would get its proper due. Thankfully, that day came, and those at the House of Blues last evening were all a part of it.

Steven Wright's May 29th show at the Wilbur Theatre has been sold out for a while, but we heard there is a chance to win free tickets if you follow the instructions at this Facebook page. Seems easy enough for a chance to see the Boston-bred Wright take the town by storm, also, be aware that Warner Brothers is about to re-release his 1985 classic "I Have a Pony".

Are you a fan of Demetri Martin, person? Perhaps you only just got acquainted with him via his new Comedy Central series, "Important Things with Demetri Martin", or caught a glimpse of him doing a late night segment or as "Youth Correspondent" on "The Daily Show". At any rate, enough Bostonians like him enough to have completely sold out all three of his shows: one on Thursday and two on Friday at The Wilbur Theater.

Funnyman Joel McHale of E!'s The Soup will be performing at the Wilbur Theatre this New Year's Eve. Three shows—two on NYE and one on January 1—promise to help you ring in the New Year with a few laughs. The New Year's Eve shows are sold out according to The Wilbur's Website (and people are seeking and selling tickets on Craigslist), but Ticketmaster still found us a single ticket (for those who like to laugh alone). Either way, the New Year's Day show has been added to appease McHale/Soup fans. No word on whether that bikini guy will appear at one of the gigs.
