The band will be putting the synth-heavy sound on display Wednesday night, playing lead single and pugilist yarn "Ambling Alp" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Meanwhile, the folks in charge of the opening ceremonies for the Winter Olympics up in Vancouver have kept a pretty tight lip, up to now, on what we can expect to see. In the past couple days, however, promos have revealed some of the music artists, and when the headliners are Nelly Furtado, Bryan Adams and Sarah McLachlan (who wrote the theme song for the games), perhaps it's no wonder no one was beating that drum very loudly. It's Canada's night, but ratings-starved NBC was probably hoping for some demographic help ala Justin Bieber or Avril Lavigne (keep Nickelback away from the torch, please). Not performing live, but still making a debut is the second coming of "We Are the World," featuring contributions from over 50 artists, including Lil Wayne, Eminem, AR Rahman, Kanye West and the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson (that was the sound of my head exploding).
