Maybe it's been the amount of free time I've had this week, but I've been catching up with this television show called The News and it's pretty interesting. I've learned a lot. The biggest thing I've learned has been that there are a lot of people out in the world that suck. Not in the sexy way either. Then, the wildest thing happened the other day. I was walking around the woods and some guy named Virgil took me on a trip. He showed me a few circles of Hell and where each of [...]

Breakout band Bamboo Shoots on tour now!

In my opinion, Regina Spektor has some incredible songs , so it didn't surprise me when I saw her for the first time on Conan the other night, performing an entrancing version of her melodramatic, piano-laden new single, "Laughing With." What does surprise me is how many of you still haven't heard those beautifully delicate chords of hers. Download - Regina Spektor - "Laughing With" Bonus - Regina Spektor - "Fidelity"

I didn't get around to really checking this out until last night. How lovely.

We've all missed the White Stripes . The more time we had to appreciate them, the more valuable their particular transcendent weirdness seemed, the more unique their particular chemistry. And it's a good shorthand symbol for Conan O'Brien's appeal that he got Meg and Jack to reunite and play "We're Going To Be Friends" on his final show as host of Late Night . But here's the thing: they were horrible. Why were they so horrible? Who knows? Maybe Jack was trying to make people appreciate [...]

I don't know why I fight technology the way I do - it's all about what I do for a living, right? You can now follow Allie on Twitter! Also, for your viewing pleasure - LIVE from Twitter , A photo from the last Late Night with Conan O'Brien production meeting. The end of an [...]

For anyone that is a true fan of performance comedy, Conan O'Brien is up there as one of the pioneers of post-modern self depreciating humor. His off kilter antics and absolute wackiness has become a staple in American culture and Late Night TV history. Tonight, that all changes. Or does it? See tonight is the last episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien ; an American late-night talk show hosted by Conan O'Brien on NBC. The second incarnation of NBC's Late Night franchise, O'Brien's debuted in 1993 after previous host David Letterman moved [...]

The Silent Years : Geek Fantasies . Tonight, the White Stripes will appear on the final episode of Late Night in New York before host Conan O'Brien takes over The Tonight Show in Los Angeles. The gig marks the minimalistic duo's first performance since they canceled a tour in 2007. What brought them out of hiding? Well, in addition to having a really good relationship with O'Brien, it probably helped that, as he told Rolling Stone , they offered the Stripes "a cash payment...It doesn't [...]

pic by damienloverso The Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach will be the musical guest on tonight's Late Night with Conan O'Brien ! So try your best to tune in to catch Dan perform a song off his solo debut album, Keep It Hid . I'm not sure what song in particular he's going to play, hopefully it's The Prowl , which is a fuzzed up bluesy track that one would expect from the organic sound of Dan Auerbach . But any song will [...]

Music Bits not to miss - * Desert Boots (by Airwalk Shoes) fan and Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch has helped get the classic, cool shoe back!

With the clothes I've got on now, this post couldn't even be called fashionably late. Here's Chromeo, my favorite group since Hall & Oates, performing for Conan way back on November 14. In blog days, that might as well be 2005. Blame it on my Hip-Hop-oriented bookmarks. But when music this good gets accompanied by a string section, it cannot be ignored.

For those of you keeping score at home, this is rad. Bon Iver on MySpace (Ian Anderson)

Stopping by the veritably self-deprecating (who's red-headed friend to night owl viewers everywhere) late night host's show this past Monday, the perennially-described " America's Best Bar Band" took time off from startin' some shit with Radiohead to play the title track from their fourth album, Stay Positive . I'm not sure about the array of handclaps The Hold Steady start off the song with, but by the time that Youth of Today get name-dropped, and the wordless harmonies in the chorus come around, even the most strident skeptic cannot resist singing along. "We gotta [...]
