We’ve already seen them join forces to cover the Jackson 5. Last night of Montreal and Solange Knowles teamed up again, this time with a bunch of mimes to do False Priests’s “Sex Karma” on Fallon. She appears on the album version, too. She also appears to enjoy the Roots outro music.
On Friday, the Roots posted up a full album stream of their 11th LP, How I Got Over. The LP credits ought to have a special mention of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’s music booker: many of its Stereogum-friendly collaborators/sample sources (Amber from Dirty Projectors, a page from Joanna Newsom’s “Book Of Right On,” etc.) have been guests on that show, almost certainly approached while the Roots were punching the clock at their game-changing day job. So it goes, Friday night was the second time Yim Yames aka MMJim James has crooned the hook to “Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)” with the Roots; that first collab yielded the How I Got Over cut “Dear God 2.0,” and here it is live, with an orchestra, and lot more of Black’s thoughts.
MY MORNING JACKET » Yim Yames To Perform With The Roots On Late Night With Jimmy Fallon On Friday, June 18th, Yim Yames will perform Dear God 2.0 with The Roots on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Tune into NBC at 12:35AM Eastern, 11:35 Central. For more info, click here. Related posts:Video: Monsters of Folk […]

Broken Social Scene visited Jimmy Fallon last night, and had the same dude-heavy line-up they had for their appearance on Letterman last month. They did “Forced To Love” for The Late Show, but Fallon got “Texico Bitches.” It was a good choice for Late Night: looser and more fun than “Forced To Love,” and lots of chances to repeat the titular phrase for a younger audience. Watch to the end and you can catch Fallon’s other guest, Cedric The Entertainer, playing air guitar.
Phish performed “Loving Cup” on tonight’s episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to finish off their Exile on Main Street celebration and got introduced by none other than Keith Richards himself. What an honor.

Seminal but (initially) short-lived early-’80s Downtown NYC post-disco crew Liquid Liquid became the name to drop in Brooklyn in 2001, got a bump from DFA in 2004, and started playing together again in 2008. Last night they made their television debut on Jimmy Fallon, performing 1983’s “Cavern” with the Roots. The song, initially released on the Optimo EP, found a larger audience when it was performed by the Sugar Hill house band and used on “White Lines (Don’t Don’t Do It),” a true rollerskating rink anthem if there ever was one. When they brought it to Fallon on Friday, a good time was had by all.
Phish will be playing May 13th on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as part of the show’s Rolling Stones tribute week.
Please, please, please let Fishman do a segment for the show, perhaps “Let Us Play With Your Look.”

They did “The High Road” for David Letterman on Tuesday, but last night’s performance on Late Night was more exciting, because you got to hear James Mercer stretch his falsetto muscles. Both “The High Road” and “The Ghost Inside” amble along at mid-tempo, but the latter has better points of interest: multiple keyboard hooks, drum […]
Jimmy Fallon had Zach Galifianakis (who’s on a NBC roll) on last night to discuss his new opulent lifestyle, post-Hangover success. He also came out before his interview for Fallon’s “Let Us Play With Your Look.” On the music side were SSPU, who did “Panic Switch” on Letterman last summer and so offered a slightly […]
“Genesis 3:23” was our first taste of the Mountain Goats’ Biblical exercise The Life Of The World To Come. If you recall, the homelessness of the lead track’s lyrics correspond to the highlighted verse: “So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.” John Darnielle & Co. (Jon Wurster, Peter Hughes, etc.) delivered the message to Jimmy Fallon last night. The “indie rock institution” gathered around Fallon after the song to applaud themselves and the Roots, but didn’t get to sit down and discuss the cheerful desolation of the lyrics.
