The MTVU Woodies Awards took place exactly a week ago at Roseland Ballroom in NYC, but they "air" for the first time tonight, Wednesday November 19th @ MTVu's website. Among the short performances you'll be able to see was a team up of Q-Tip and Lykke Li (and Bjorn of Peter Bjorn and John on bass).

As you know, Lykke Li's next NYC show will take place at Webster Hall on February 2nd (tickets). That date is now part of a larger tour.

Q-Tip is going on tour with the Cool Kids. Their NYC show is December 2nd at Nokia Theatre (tickets).

Rilo Kiley have been confirmed to play the MTVu Woody Awards at Roseland Ballroom in NYC tomorrow night (Nov 8, 2007)...

Calling all Rilo Kiley fans in the NYC area!!
Rilo Kiley will be performing at the 2007 MTVU Woodie Awards this Thursday, 11/8/07 at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC. We need true, dedicated COLLEGE fans to be part of this show. For FREE tickets send an e-mail ASAP to woodieawards@mtvstaff.com and please include the following info:

-Age
-Phone number
-Where do you go to college?
-What is your favorite Rilo Kiley song?
-Are you available from 6pm to 10pm this Thursday evening?

I wonder if it's better to have seen them before, or to not have seen them before. Lupe Fiasco is also rumored to be playing (along with Tokyo Police Club, Spank Rock and The Academy Is). Annie Lennox is being honored and will be there. Amy Winehouse will not (though I can't speak for the many impersonators).

And as promised, I also have 10 pairs of tickets to give away. To win, E-mail BVCONTESTS@HOTMAIL.COM (subject: Woody). Ten winners will be picked at random and contacted ASAP.
