The lovely and talented Robyn stopped by David Letterman to peform her single, "Dancing On My Own."

She's gotta busy schedule ahead of her. Friday, she kicks of her tour with Kelis in Los Angeles at the Music Box. She also has a few special peformances around town, including: a club performance in Hollywood, Amoeba Records and maybe another extra special tour kick-off performance the same day. We will be watching!

M.I.A. was on Letterman the other night performing "Born Free" off her latest album. Always keepin' things fresh, M.I.A. incorporated a group of dancers that looked exactly like her. Not sure about the song, but I liked what she did with the performance.

Dear Tick made their television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman last night. Their third album, The Black Dirt Sessions, was just released last Tuesday and reached the #1 sales ranking on Amazon.

Recorded late last year at Black Dirt Studios in upstate New York, The Black Dirt Sessions is a deeply personal record from Deer Tick and most especially from lead vocalist and songwriter John McCauley. It is the sound of a band coming into its own, finding its voice and pouring its collective heart out. The comparisons that have often been thrust upon McCauley by the press seem to fall away as his own voice comes through more clearly. On songs like "Goodbye, Dear Friend" and "Christ Jesus" which find McCauley alone at the piano, about as naked as you can possibly get on record. The Black Dirt version of "Christ Jesus," which also appeared on War Elephant, manages to be even more devastating than the original.
