late show with david letterman

The Austin City Limits Festival is still a good month and a half away, but my excitement level is already starting to grow more and more by the day. There are so many incredible acts playing ACL that I haven't seen yet, including one of the more recent additions to my favorites list, England's Spiritualized. Jason Pierce aka J. Spaceman's vocal approach is not comparable to any other artist making music today. After seeing their name on the ACL line-up, I started to build my collection of their material including their latest album Songs in A&E (which has not left my car's CD player in quite some time).

Last night, Mr. Spaceman and Spiritualized stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman to play through "You Lie You Cheat", one of the many gems off of Songs in A&E. Give it a listen:

Oh, I can't wait until September!

My biggest musical regret of this year so far is skipping the opportunity to see the Fleet Foxes in March when they came through with Blitzen Trapper. Due to Toast's early evening arrival in Houston the same night, and plans to see Wilco, My Morning Jacket and Yo La Tengo that weekend, we opted to lay low that night instead. If they come to your town, do not make the same mistake.

Last night they stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman to play through "Blue Ridge Mountains" off of their eponymous debut LP. Check it out:

MMJ meets CSNY; can you dig?
