MUSIC ON TV

If you survived the fallout of the LeBronocalypse last night, it was a good evening to channel surf, and possibly spot some of the Boombox's favorite bands performing live.  All week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon bands were performing Rolling Stones' songs, celebrating the reissue of Exile on Main Street.  Last night, Phish showed up to perform their live staple "Loving Cup", and even got a surprise wobbly introduction from Keith Richards.  Meanwhile, America's greatest bar band The Hold Steady visited The Cobert Report to perform "Hurricane J" from their new gem Heaven is Whenever. Check it out.

Oh and P.S.  The National visited Sir David Letterman last night, with brilliant buddy Sufjan Stevens in tow to provide backing vocals on "Afraid of Everyone".  Dig it.
