Yeasayer and Bon Iver Take on Late Night TV //

Two of my favorite artists brought their new stuff to late night TV last night.  First up, Yeasayer premiered a brand new song, “The Devil and the Deed,” on Conan. 

Then, Bon Iver went on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform a beautiful cover of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” with a little bit of “Nick of Time” thrown in for fun.

OFWGKTA // SANDWITCHES

I know Odd Future is like the only thing I post about, but their national television debut was everything I could have hoped for and way more.*

*I need a screen shot of Tyler on Fallon’s back. And Mos Def yelling “swag” at the camera like the happiest man alive was the perfect finish.
