Video: Slow Jam The News with Barack Obama: Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

American president and all round nice guy Barack Obama is being rumoured to turn up at Jay Z's festival ' Made In America ', or at the very least, Jay Z is trying to get him there! The festival that takes place on September 1 and 2 in Philly is yet to announce who in the star studded line up will be. What we do know is, it will be good. You know why? Because Jay Z is curating it and he knows people! Made in America promises to feature hip-hop, rock, Latin music and a [...]

Barry... Barry, Barry, Barry... I remember back in the day when you used to represent HOPE. That was your THING. You got the young people excited. But now it feels like you're trying a little bit too hard to pander to the young people. Now you're going on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon ? That guys' worse than Ellen. She'll enslave any toddler who went viral, forcing them to go viral over and over again. I miss the old days, when the President was an old, stiff honky. He [...]

In March of 2010, Animal Collective performed a live music installation at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, with visuals provided by Danny Perez (also of past collaboration for visual feast Oddsac ). In honor of this year's Record Store Day, music from the exhibit, titled Transverse Temporal Gyrus, is now streaming. Check it out over at Stereogum . If you'd like to experience the heady soundscape and visuals in a more in-depth manner, the band recently set up an interactive site of footage and material from the Guggenheim show, here . [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =vAFQIciWsF4 Is it too much to ask, that we get a Canadian leader with enough style and class to pull something like this off? Harper, GTFO already. You couldn't swing a performance like this... How well do you think you're performing on the world's stage?

Mark Seliger for Rolling Stone WASHINGTON (AP) - Offering riffs on Mick Jagger and reflections on race, President Barack Obama is capping a week devoted to courting young votes with a Rolling Stone magazine cover interview that segues from presidential musings on politics to foreign policy to pop culture . Sounding an election-year theme, Obama tells the magazine that Mitt Romney can't disavow the conservative views he embraced as candidate during the Republican presidential primaries. At the same time, he acknowledges that [...]

u may not respect his policies.. u may not respect his presidency.. but god damn you if you don't respect his swag. In all seriousness, there is no way Romney can win this year. Is there? I mean.. these stunts are reminding us why we fell in love with Barrack in the first place - or as Jimmy Fallon calls him "BARRACKNESS MONSTAH" (fucking crazy that there is a Heltah Skeltah reference with the POTUS involved) He's like the sneaky lowlife-ass husband [...]

Campaign season is well underway and President Obama is hitting college campuses across the US of A. The POTUS visited Boulder last night and spoke to Coloradans and Americans across the nation about keeping the student loan interest rate locked instead of doubling in July. At some point, the POTUS made his way to the Hill landmark, the Sink (great burgers btw). Check out his "Slow Jam" with the Roots and Jimmy Fallon that would've made Isaac Hayes proud. Dave Matthews was also in on the action recorded from Tarheel [...]

Barack Obama joined Jimmy Fallon and his house band The Roots last night, to make the case that the interest rates on subsidized student loans should remain low when they're re-evaluated by Congress this summer. ... read more �

Presidential candidates (or the sitting POTUS) always seem pretty awkward when taking part in comedic segments. They want to get their message out while looking cool and relatable, but not absurd. This Obama edition of Slow Jam the News on Late Night smartly overcame that obstacle brilliantly last night. All Barack had to do was [...]

On last night's Jimmy Fallon and noted with little commentary. I'd like to think in an alternate universe where John McCain became president he too would slow jam the news with Jimmy Fallon. Politics aside, how does Mitt Romney watch this and think he's got a flying chance in hell of winning in November? [via stereogum ]

Last night, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon played host to the one guest who might potentially be more exciting than another Jawbox reunion: Barack Obama, the President of the United States of America. And Obama participated in a running Fallon sketch that might've been created expressly for him: Slow Jammin' the News. The sketch allowed him the chance to indulge in some old-school '70s-soul cool, collaborate with longtime supporters the Roots, and get across some of his ideas about holding down student-loan interest. His granite-faced delivery was great, and his mic-drop at the end was even better. [...]

Jimmy Fallon was joined by a one of kind, special guest last night - the President of the U.S., Barack Obama. While filming on location at UNC, Fallon talks with [...]

This is awesome. I'm still laughing...
