Last year around this time, we sent Kate to the mtvU Woodies because a) she’s freaking hilarious b) Rilo Kiley was playing and c) she was the only staff member who could actually get the channel, which at the time was exclusively beamed into America’s dorms. (But mostly “a.”) Thanks to the expansion of the digital-cable universe, mtvU is available on off-campus cable systems these days (what’s up, Fios at my parents’ house!), so you can get ready for what you’re going to see next Wednesday night this evening, when we send Kate to liveblog the whole affair once again. Come back at 8 p.m. ET! Musical guests include the artist formerly known as Santogold (she goes by “Santi” now), Lykke Li, and Vampire Weekend with Chromeo, which oh boy that should be something.
