Kings of Leon to play Conan tonight

hm, I wonder which album they'll play from. not. what bugs me about Only by the Night isn't the album itself but the fact that nobody even knows about their old work. tis a shame they never play their old stuff anymore. Youth and Young Manhood is sheer perfection. sigh.

video: Death Cab for Cutie - "Little Bribes" on Conan O Brien

the band performed a stellar version of the opener of their latest EP, The Open Door, on Conan last night.

I am very, very excited about Saturday, when I'm seeing them AND Andrew Bird at Berkeley's Greek Theatre. Ra Ra Riot will also be playing.

The White Stripes played Conan last night

they played a unique version of "We Are Going To Be Friends" (of Napolean Dynamite fame)



not as loud or rock'n'roll-ish as most of their live performances, but still awesome.

don't miss the White Stripes on Conan!

the duo will reunite this Friday, 11:30 PM on NBC.

because I love Christmas music.

this will probably be my last blog post for a few days, until I finish volume III of In Search of Lost Time. have a nice week everyone!

Dead Confederate on Conan

this is one of the best Conan performances that I have ever seen. I really like this band a lot, sadly, though, I can't see them on their current tour because they're playing a 21+ venue in SF. I really need a fake ID, not for booze but for shows.

anyhow, enjoy:

and, just for good measure:



damn good performance =)
