I know it's network t.v., but would the 12:35 show be a step up for him? His show is so highly regarded. Now, an 11:35 show would be a whole diff ball of wax... Just wondering.

Also, when is Kilborn finished? Is this his last week?

PS, I hate/despise/wish ill upon Ann Coulter like I never/rarely do.....she is awful and does a disservice to every conservative when she speaks or writes.

Kilborn's last show was last Friday. I enjoyed it. Reruns will air until they decide what to do. They may rotate guest hosts for a while.

Hollywood rumors are (1) Sign Conan away from NBC, groom him for Letterman's slot because with his health and young child, Lettermans days are numbered. (2) Take John Stewart away from Comedy Central like they did with Craigers and temp him with replacing Letterman soon.

The obvious question is not the time for Jon Stewart, but can he get away with the same comedy on network TV that he can on Cable?

After watching him tone down and be quite giddy with John Kerry on his show last week, I think he'd welcome network TV.

Anyone catch this? I heard they played an Isbell tune - Never Gonna Change.

I'm hardly surprised - it's a GREAT song - yet if you've been following the band for years - it sure jumps out as a big concession: The new kid is the rising star - he's grabbing the reigns & is their best shot at true success. I heard that Mike Cooley got precious little airtime. It'll be very interesting to watch this band's dynamic over the next few years.

Oh...& Isbell has a solo record coming out. From large hearted boy:

Another Trucker Solo Album
Drive-By Trucker Jason Isbell's solo album, tentatively titled "Sirens of the Ditch" is scheduled for an early 2005 release on New West, DBT's label.

Judging from his tracks on the band's The Dirty South and Decoration Day and the rough mixes and live performances I've heard from this solo effort, it could well be my most highly awaited 2005 release.
Title: Re: Bands on T.V.
Post by: vansmack on September 30, 2004, 09:21:00 pm: Did anybody catch that trainwreck that is Brian Wilson on Leno?

Oh my. It's part broadway musical, part Beach Boys, part cartoon background music, part Jimmy Buffett, with enough people to rival The Polyphonic Spree.

It's always possible that I just don't get it, but I thought it was just terrible.

We said the same thing about Isbell. You've got to wonder how long they can manage the three headed monster.

The Mike Cooley you often see now - laid back, mostly sober - is not the same Mike Cooley from years back. Partly it's his own doing - married w/kid. But I think it's also in part due to the emergence of J Isbell. I think he's accepted it, but I'm not sure he likes it.

Hangs head in shame as I've become too predictable.....but I still don't have the willpower to pass on this one.

I set Tivo to record the last 15 minutes of Leno, Letterman, Conan, whomever is in for Kilborn, Kimmel and Carson Daly every M-F and then watch the performances the next day when I get home from work. If it's an artist I don't like (or a comedian), I simply delete it. I've given up on going through the line-up each Sunday night and picking which ones to record. Now I just get them all because line-ups change and it's only an hour and a half a night total, which is not much space, even if I fall a day or two behind.

All that with no super tehcie wires to move around....and before Rhett points out that if he had a VCR and watched TV, he could do the same thing, yes he could, but you can't delete individual performances and keep others. For example, if you wanted to show Celeste how big the cock of the guy from DBT was, you'd have to keep the entire nights shows on the tape. I can delete the Nelly performance and some no name comic individually, keeping only the one's I want. And Smackette, who has substantially less time then I do, can watch the greatest hits over the weekend, when she has time. Some performances are so good, that I've kept them for months now.

And yes, TiVo is a verb. And a drug. And a way of life.

POP REVIEW | MODEST MOUSE
Just a Whisker Away From Full-Blown Celebrity
By JON PARELES
The New York Times

Isaac Brock took a moment during Modest Mouse's set to look around Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday night. "This place seems a little fancy for us, but it's real nice," he said. After years on the club and college circuits, Modest Mouse is suddenly above the pop horizon, with video clips on MTV and over a half million sales of its current album, "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" (Epic).

The album tunes up and cleans up some of the band's old low-fi quirks. But the band treated Radio City like a big club, casually taking its time between songs and working through each tune without overt showmanship. For most of the set Mr. Brock wore a broad-brimmed cap that hid half his face. Modest Mouse isn't likely to be mistaken for slick anytime soon.

There's always something a little askew in Mr. Brock's songs. His voice starts out unglamorous, nasal and quavery with a drawl that comes and goes, and he pushes it, shouting or cackling with sudden bursts of vehemence or petulance. The band's tempo may suddenly lurch into a different gear, and sometimes a discordant guitar will start strumming away or blast into the foreground. It's all deliberate; Mr. Brock is a misfit who makes himself worth knowing.

His lyrics muse on life and death, the origins of the universe and his personal failings, veering from optimism to fatalism: "We have one chance, one chance to get everything right," he sang. "And maybe we might."

The music matches his crankiness, refusing allegiance to any particular structure or style. Its roots are in the late 1970's and early 80's, when punk had smashed old notions of virtuosity and arty types were cobbling new structures out of the shards. What those bands discovered was the power of the arbitrary, the stubborn joy of knocking together a beat and sticking to it until its mannerisms began to sound natural.

In a set that relied on recent songs, Modest Mouse could sound like a skiffle band that had discovered minimalism, a folk-rock band with loose ends or a sprawl of clangorous guitars.

With two drummers, the band could sock out a simple beat or play ratcheting, overlapping grooves; its songs sometimes recalled the Talking Heads of "Speaking in Tongues." In any configuration, Modest Mouse sounded willful above all, daring its new audience to accept every last idiosyncrasy.

Modest Mouse is to perform on Saturday on "Saturday Night Live," at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on Dec. 4 and at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Ore,. from Dec. 13 to 16.
