Tons of good stuff today, a surprising number of NSFW links (two), but they are relevant.  :)  Enjoy!

Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst performed at a rally held by US presidential hopeful Barack Obama in Iowa yesterday (January 1).

Normally we don't take the time to tell you guys when a cool band is showing up for five minutes on some talk show or another, but tonight is a bit of an exception, as the stars are aligning for some serious televised goodness. First off, Conor Oberst is bringing BRIGHT EYES to the mainstream tonight with an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Then flip it over to the Jimmy Kimmel Show to catch THE RAVEONETTES. Then, swing your dial to the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson to catch KASABIAN. Then go to sleep because you'll be tired from all that channel flipping.
