It seems Fred Armisen is leaving Saturday Night Live . In addition to two epic Kanye West performances , last night's episode also featured a super-group of indie rock stars joining Armisen on stage for what appeared to be a send-off.

Last night marked the season finale of Saturday Night Live and the final episode for several veteran cast members. Though he has yet to formally announce he's leaving the show, Fred Armisen all but confirmed his departure with an epic, heartwarming musical send-off during the final moments of tonight's episode. Armisen's punk rock alter-ego Ian Rubbish led a star-studded performance of "I've Had a Lovely Night" featuring fellow cast members Bill Hader (who's already announced his departure from the show) and Jason Sudeikis (who's also "probably" leaving), along with Armisen's longtime friends and collaborations Sleater-Kinney/Wild [...]

XPN welcomes Aimee Mann and Ted Leo to World Cafe Live at The Queen tonight.  After sharing a bill last fall while Mann was promoting her latest Charmer LP, the singer-songwriter and Ted Leo teamed up for a proper collaboration called #BOTH earlier this year.  The pair will return to their usual roles for this tour, however, with Leo filling in the support slot and probably reprising songs from the discography of his band The Pharmacists, as well as possibly (and hopefully) previewing songs from a new album he's [...]

This ranks up there with Ted Leo's "Bottled and Corked" video as a brilliant crossover of indie rock and internet sketch comedy.

Think pieces, personal essays, reunion tours and unreleased singles all flooded the cultural landscape surrounding the Postal Service 's lone LP Give Up . It turned 10 officially on February 19, but its modern day domination kicked into gear long before that with a mere website update in late January. [...]

Kudos to the Funny of Die team for posting this hilarious video of faux Postal Service auditions in 2002. The premise is that a Sub Pop exec sits down with Jimmy Tamborello and the pair watch an assortment of musicians try out for the role that Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie fills. Moby, Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan, Aimee Mann, Foo Fighters' Nate Mendel and Weird Al Yankovic are among the musicians who hilariously try out for the project before Gibbard himself [...]

Not so, according to Funny or Die , who just unveiled some rare footage of early band auditions held by Sub Pop Records and Tamborello, featuring "Weird Al" Yankovic, Aimee Mann, Moby, Duff McKagan, and Tom DeLonge. It's quite provoking to see "what could have been", so check out the clip below. [...]
