Conan's leaving 30 Rock for Carson's old desk at The Tonight Show on March 2nd, and as P4K reports, the last band to play the Late Night studio on his watch will be long-time O'Brien-chums Jack and Meg White. It's sad Conan's leaving NYC! But by moving to L.A. he will be much closer to Norm MacDonald all the time, and that is such a good news for laughter. - Source

NAME: Doves
PROGRESS REPORT: Prepping their forth album, Kingdom Of Rust, out April 6.

"We go into the studio and we tend to go in daily until we get somewhere, and that's either a really pleasant experience or a really torturous experience," Doves vocalist and bassist Jimi Goodwin says.

[Drummer] Andy [Williams] had a baby in October of last year, so I think we took out six weeks then, and that was the longest hiatus we had for the record," Goodwin says. "When we go in and do stuff, it's roll your sleeves up and tank up your life for a while until its done. But sadly real life has a habit of poking its head in, with and lots of ups and downs."

He can fill stadiums in his homeland of Japan, but trips to our continent are far and few between. This is why we're so bummed his first trip to the States this year will only bring him to the West coast. - Source

Dream-weaving trio School Of Seven Bells have served up this Alpinsims tune in studio and Decomposed form, and this new Tony Halbrooks-directed frames it well, with just the right mix of the real and the surreal: the Deheza twins cruise the city by night, lights and faces going in and out of focus, film flapping as they drive on to the sunrise. Poor Ben apparently wasn't invited along for the ride. Continue reading New School Of Seven Bells Video - "Half Asleep"... - Source
