Comedic/Folk-Heavy Metal duo Tenacious D is the greatest band on earth. That's the running joke that members Jack Black and Kyle Glass have been cracking us up with for nearly a decade now, from their roots on Mr Show with Bob to their own short-lived (and hilarious) HBO series, culminating in their excellent self-titled debut album. They now have a full length movie coming out (The Pick of Destiny - corresponding soundtrack comes out tomorrow,) which has me worried the joke will no longer work - it was funny to root for the underdog, but when you're backed by New Line Cinema and Sony Records, the joke might run a little thin. Nonetheless, their TV bits always 'rock our socks off', and so I recommend alerting your Tivo/DVR to their appearances this week on Letterman (Tuesday) and Conan (Wednesday.)
