THE MAMAS & PAPAS lip-synced "California Dreaming" really well on Hullaballoo, but not showing you the go-go dancers, who are worth the waitBETTER OBLIVION COMMUNITY CENTER, a/k/a Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers, plays CBS This Morning. JIM JAMES stops by the World Cafe. TK ECHO streams a self-titled debut EP. KURT VILE shares the jangly, Meat Puppets-esque, "Timing Is Everything (And I'm Falling Behind)."

THE NUMBER ONES looks at the Temptations' tender masterpiece, "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)."
WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Glass repeats atop the chart with 19MM on a 53 percent drop; this trajectory is quite a bit lower than its predecessor, Split, but it's still boffo biz against a 20MM production budget. The Upside places again with 12.2MM on a leggy 18 percent drop (could it top the chart on Super Bowl weekend? Hmm.) Aquaman shows again with another 7.4MM on a 28 percent drop. The Kid Who Would Be King debuts in the fourth slot with 7.3MM, which I presume is disappointing, though it could still make decent bank in the UK (where it oddly hasn't opened yet). Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse rounds out the Top Five with another 6.2MM on a still-leggy 19 percent drop. THE SAG AWARDS went to these folks. Congrats!
