the very talented young lady known as feist just played "mushaboom" on conan. if i would have known she was appearing earlier, i would have recommended that everyone and their mother tune in, so you'll have wait until the repeat tomorrow on cnbc to see her awesome performance if you missed it.

I like her.

i really like her album, but NPR has replayed that song so many times i want to jab it out of my brain with a soldering iron. she's been popping up all over the place lately, Broken Social Scene, Kings of Convenience and apparently Peaches (?) convinced her to move to paris

you know, there is an entire thread for updating the performers on late night talk shows.

yeah, z is all over that shit!

i fell asleep when he was introducing new summer characters.

how were they? sometimes i wish he would actually keep some of these guys around...

actually i misspoke. i fell asleep during the commercial after the characters.

here's my ratings:

The Guy With A Flock Of Seagulls Haircut That Is Actually Made Of A Flock Of Seagulls = * (1 star) - Not funny unless you are drunk

The Guy Who Doesn't Understand Why No One Wants His Lemonade = *** - I thought this was funny, but there's no way it can be a continous gag.

The Idiot Savant Who Knows Everything About The Movie Rainman = ** Good idea but the bit was poorly written and acted.

The Arab Informant Mr. Met = no stars.

Abe Vigoda With Lime! = **** - Vigoda rules.

Her album is quite good, I'm going to catch the repeat of this today.

so instead of the repeat, we were treated to golf and then a man screaming about which stocks in which to invest. i suppose that's an equal trade-off.

i do know about the late night thread, i just didn't think to check it.

and the new summer characters were all terrible except for vigoda with lime.

Has anyone seen her live?

I just couldn't get into it when I saw her open for British Sea Power.
