i know that i should wait until next week to share this as i said i would in yesterday’s post, but i just found this and i loved it so much i had to share it immediately. monday night, an acoustic version of my favorite song from my favorite album of 2007 was performed on none other than the colbert report. here it is.
so i am discovering that there are some talk shows out there that are developing better tastes in music. now i realize that the majority of their musical guests are still super popular and usually not that talented. but believe it or not, recently there have been some stellar performances on prime time talk shows. therefore, i am going to try and regularly recommend an upcoming performance, and then also link a video of my favorite performance of the previous week. the one i’m most excited about for this week is tomorrow (wed.) night’s performance by feist on late night w/ conan. and then here is my favorite performance of last week.
so this may be old news to you, but it’s new to me. apparently conan o’brien is taking over for jay leno on the tonight show next year, which i am super pumped about. now i won’t have to stay up til midnight to watch a tall lanky red-head bounce jump around and flip his hair (which still makes me smile every time i see it.) but i am not sure how i feel about jimmy fallon taking over for late night. it’s not that he hasn’t made me laugh in the past, i just never really pictured him as a talk show host. he’s just gonna laugh at everything that his guests say. but i guess that doesn’t really matter, since now i don’t have to stay up that late. here is one of the aforementioned instances where jimmy has made me laugh.
