The Late Night Fix, Feb 8-12, 2010

News image

Another painfully slow week for late night music. Carson Daly's webmaster is MIA, Craig Ferguson doesn't have a guest I recognized as being a musician and SNL won't be back for two weeks. Kimmel's streak of rancid guests is broken by Editors on Thursday. Sade and The Soft Pack join Letterman. The hilight of the week, though has to be Yeasayer on Jimmy Fallon. Would love to see some collab with The Roots.         Late Show with David Letterman02/08 Josh Turner02/09 Sade02/10 Allison Moorer02/11 Regis & Joy Philbin02/12 The Soft PackLate Night ...

It's a mostly abysmal week in musical guests, but there are a few high points. The Stone Age Zeppelin Fighters, also known as Them Crooked Vultures, will be rocking out on SNL. Hot Chip will be making Jimmy Fallon dance and They Might Be Giants are guesting on Craig Ferguson. All you lovers should tune into The Swell Season on Letterman. Carson Daly might have a Beatles reunion, but we'll never know because he doesn't update his guest schedule until Tuesday or Wednesday.       Saturday Night Live02/06 Them Crooked VulturesLate Show ...

The Late Night Fix, January 18-23 2010

It's Conan's last week at NBC and he's got Spoon on Tuesday. The rest of the week is TBA, so who know what surprises he has in store. Personally, I'd love to see a full hour of Conan playing country songs while Andy dances the two-step with the masturbating bear. Austinites, Heartless Bastards, close out the week on Kimmel. Fallon has a strong week with The Cribs, Mountain Goats and Beach House. Carson Daly hosts Weezer, The XX and Gossip.   Saturday Night Live01/23 RihannaLate Show with David Letterman01/18 The Heavy01/19 The ...

Though late night hosts on NBC are playing musical chairs, the new year is off to a slow start in terms of musical guests. Vampire Weekend are on Conan tonight and The Low Anthem grace Letterman's stage on Thursday. Here's hoping The Ting Tings have written some new material for their big appearance on SNL. I think we're all tired of "That's Not My Name", a song they've been playing for nearly two years.     Saturday Night Live01/16 The Ting TingsLate Show with David Letterman 01/11 Ryan Bingham01/12 Findlay Brown01/13 The HotRats (Gaz ...
