I did. I though it was OK.

what did they play?

It was the "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" song. Very James Chance-like in the live setting (albeit with less screaming). Nothing spectacular about the music, but they looked like a fun live band.

Does Paul Shaffer and the band always clap along to the music during performances? They did last night.

Usually, Paul adds some of his own 'tinkling' to the mix.

I saw it. Didn't seem as hard as the studio version is.

Also, did anyone happen to catch the Raveonettes on Conan last night? Fuck, they were great. Played a new song from the forth-coming LP. Great sounding guitars -- very Link Wrayish. The dude had a pirate mustache, but the chick is cute.

i thought lcd was pretty good (i caught the raveonettes too).

that was a great letterman episode -- amy sedaris, some aspergers/savant dude who could recite pi from memory, lcd soundsystem. first time i've enjoyed letterman that much in years!

duuuuuude, you cant recite pi from memory!

― peter smith (plsmith), Thursday, 28 April 2005 16:56 (twenty years ago)

i mean, even NED RAGGETT couldnt recite pi from memory.

(it's only one t.)

The guy recited it up to twenty-two thousand and something decimal places.

but did it sound sexy?

― rogers broseph (deangulberry), Thursday, 28 April 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

how much time was he alotted to accomplish this?

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Thursday, 28 April 2005 18:43 (twenty years ago)

I think he said it took him five hours plus to do it. He only spent a few weeks memorizing it!

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 28 April 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

FUCK! I missed this!

Did anybody catch the closing bit on Jimmy Kimmel live where Kevin Nealon, Eric Idle, and some Kenny Rogers looking dude had a rootin' tootin' bluegrass-y hoedown, only to be joined promptly by three super wicked bucket drummers and some random marching band tubaist?

I liked the two-bass/sans guitar set-up. I think this was last effectively used on "Big Bottom."

could someone put up a YouSendIt of the video? it'd be helpful. thanks

― sovietpanda (sovietpanda), Friday, 29 April 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

was that really two basses!? i was looking really hard, and couldn't decide which was bass and which was guitar. that would explain why.

and if anyone can YSI an MPEG or something similar, that'd be great.

i thought they did a good job building some intensity into the song.
