Holy CRAP Jimmy Fallon has a killer week!! Let's face it nearly every week I'm here complaining about how lousy the music on television is but this week.. I cant!
Fallon has everyone from Doug E Fresh, to Joe Jackson. How the heck did he score those beast acts? My dvr is going to hit capcity. Weird he also has Robin Zander of Cheap Trick, Tom Waits and The Cloud Nothings. There was a time when Conan was the mac-daddy of late night music (hell Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros were there!) but hmmm, not so much. Sharon Van Etten and Birdy is all he's got? Fallon totally wins.
