Battle Of The (Late Night) Bands: Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy - "Americas Suitehearts"

Everytime I see them perform live I am blown away by how horrible they sound. I think Britney Spears can sing better than the chubby lead singer of FOB. Awful.

Losers:

Letterman: Marrianne Faithful

Fallon: Gomez

Carson Daly: Robin Thicke

Battle Of The (Late Night) Bands: Adele

Adele - "Hometown Glory" (Via Letterman)

remember this?

Losers:

Leno - Gavin DeGraw

Kimmel - The Dream

Fallon - Glasvegas

Kerri Hilson - "Turnin Me On (Feat. Lil' Wayne)"

Battle Of The (Late Night) Bands: Ra Ra Riot

I've heard of Ra Ra Riot but haven't ever heard their music, or at least it wasn't good enough for me to remember. I was going back and forth between Ra Ra Riot and the AAR (that's All American Rejects for the non super fans) but ultimately decided Ra Ra Riot was less likely to be played while two guys banged. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, naturally) So they won.

Tomorrow's lineup looks relatively bleak, so I might skip it. Friday has three good acts so I might just post all of those Friday. We'll see.

Losers:

Leno - Prince
Letterman - Jesse Harris w/ Norah Jones
Fallon - All American Rejects
Kimmel - Blue October
Daly - Chris Cornell

Battle Of The (Late Night) Bands: Gabriella Cilmi

Battle Of The (Late Night) Bands: Bloc Party

Bloc Party - "One Month Off" Via Letterman

I recently got Bloc Party's older album Silent Alarm. It was OK, nothing special. How come no one told me their lead singer was black? I had no idea.

Battle Of The (Late Night) Bands: The Virgins

I had a genius idea yesterday. I'm going to try and post a clip of the best band/performance from all the late night talk shows. The shows include: Jimmy Fallon, Conan (returns June 1st), Letterman, Kimmel, Carson Daly (Yes, he is still on), Leno, and Craig Ferguson. I hope to make this a daily feature plus it's a good way to find new music. The first winner of "Batle of The (Late Night) Bands" is: The Virgins. I haven't heard of them until now, but I am definitly going to check them out.
