They Might Be Giants perform on Fallon, Wednesday. |
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has two legends in The Kinks' Ray Davies (Monday) and Ben E. King (Thursday), and two Brooklyn based indie rock duos with Matt & Kim (Tuesdasy) and blog (and kids of blog) fave They Might Be Giants (Wednesday). TMBG just returned with another "adult" album (Join Us) which differs from the kids only slightly in subject and theme. Since those concepts mean little to my littles, it's all the same to them.
Elsewhere, look to Fallon's forebearer Letterman for some quality acts this week as well, as he has Eels (Tuesday), Anna Calvi (Wednesday), and Fountains of Wayne (Thursday) who have a new album dropping next week entitled Sky Full Of Holes.
In the 'look back in wonder' department, morning talkies on Friday have the duo of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany (Good Morning America) along with the Steve Perry-less Journey (Today Show).
