It’s a shame that Conan isn’t able to continue his Tonight Show, but the good news is that we still have The Roots on Late Night. There were a lot of skeptics critical of Jimmy Fallon’s band selection, but ?uestlove and his crew are playing the right tune with the show’s younger audience, hosting many artists – and non-musicians – to take the stage with them. There aren’t many house bands that have that kind of rapport.
As a result of these late night sessions, the show’s vault is full of brilliant performances which The Roots have compiled into a mixtape (find your copy on the web). My personal favorites: Mighty Mos and THE BEASTIES. So what’cha what’cha what’cha want!

“The picture is an actual candid document of a person in New York City in 1983– those are the clothes that she was wearing and how she did her hair that day. We didn’t hire one of our friends to throw on a vintage Polo shirt or anything.” – Ezra Koenig, Vampire Weekend’s lead singer

Though Spotify isn’t available in the States yet, we’ve had the pleasure of using the music service thanks to our friends from overseas. Don’t get us wrong, Pandora is awesome. But sometimes you just want to hear the actual song as opposed to something that sounds similar to it. Spotify not only streams Radios, which play songs similar to your selection, but it also allows you to play the actual song that you can’t get our of your head. Another cool feature is that you can listen to your playlists offline. Bring Spotify stateside!
Apps available for Symbian (Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung), Android, and iPhone.
