Written by Phillip Mottaz Dedicated to those songs that I can't stop playing, humming, or thinking about; the 4+ minutes you fall head-over-heels in love with. Past instances have included The Cure's "Untitled," Radiohead's "Optimistic," and M.I.A's "Paper Planes." After the White Stripes ' beautiful performance on the final episode of Late Night With Conan O'Brien , I had an email discussion with fan of Tripwire and my [...]

I didn't get around to really checking this out until last night. How lovely.
After a 16-year run, Conan O'Brien bid farewell to his gig as Late Night host on Friday with the help of John Mayer, Will Ferrell, Andy Richter and the first performance by the White Stripes since 2007! While Mayer performed a funny self-deprecating dedication entitled "L.A.'s Gonna Eat You ...
I'm always saying, "there is so much music and so little time." Consider the White Stripes for example. I have been planing on writing about them forever. But I could not really put them in the proper context for my humble little blues blog here. Well, some times my lackadaisical attitude gets overtaken by events. Recently the White Strips played a unique version of We Are Going To Be Friends for Conan O'Brien's last show. Some music bloggers and commenters are slamming the performance, but it fits perfectly with their stripped down, blues folk music style. [...]
The White Stripes made a very special appearance together to perform "We Are Going To Be Friends" on the last ever Late Night with Conan O'Brien. It was nice to see the pair together and performing a little twist on a great track. Check it out here if you didn't tune in on Friday night...

The 2009 Oscars concluded last night with nothing going to far into the realm of surprise. I'm not going to shadow too much though onto the night, but I'm just kinda happy for Kate Winslet finally winning her first Academy Award after, I don't know, seven nominations. Good for her. Anyway, Conan's last show aired Friday night with musical guest The White Stripes performing a solemn, stripped down version of their song "We're Going to be Friends" off their 2001 album White Blood Cells . The reactions seemed to be mixed, which shouldn't [...]
One of Conan O'Brien's favorite guests on his show were The White Stripes. As he closed the book on his show to prepare for the Tonight Show, he reminisced, and brought the duo back for another go round for "We're...

At the personal request of Conan O'Brien himself, Jack and Meg took the stage this past Friday night for a final farewell rendition of We're Going To Be Friends . Friday night marked the end of O'Brien's late night talk show Late Night With Conan O'Brien . O'Brien is packing his bags and heading to Los Angeles where he will replace host Jay Leno on The Tonight Show come [...]

It was a great way to go out and if anyone doesn't think Conan is going to absolute kill it as the new Tonight Show host, they would be sorely mistaken. John Mayer, Will Ferrell , Abe Vigoda, and Andy Richter helped Conan say goodbye to Studio 6A Friday night; good friends The White Stripes played Conan's favorite song in what was an under-rehearsed yet touching performance. We'll only share a few clips we loved, but obviously, everything from The White Stripes playing "We Are Going to Be Friends" to Conan's touching goodbye [...]

By eh I was a little underwhelmed by the White Stripes performance on the last ever episode of "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" when I watched it Friday. I like it a little better now. But I still think it's an odd choice. "I can tell that we are gonna be friends" is a nice little ditty, but I always thought it was kind of a minor Stripes song. Given that this was the Conan send off, I expected something a little more grand. Maybe a [...]
A surprising and really perfect song for Conan's last "Late Night" show.

As some of you know, I am slightly infatuated with Jack White. So when I found out that the White Stripes were going to play Conan's last show, I was more than excited. Here they are playing "We're Going to Be Friends."

Turns out I forgot to hit "Publish" on this. Oops! Last night Jack and Meg played Conan's favorite White Stripes song to close out his 16 years as the host of Late Night. They made it a little more... emotive ... than the recorded version and it's a little awkward at times. However, I could see [...]
