We’re in the stretch of May where everyone is dying for a break. Students want to be done with finals and out of class, whereas adults need Memorial Day’s sweet three-day respite. All we want is a break!
Alas, it’s not quite here for most of us. However, to ease the pain, the music deities have presented us with a few worthy performers on this week’s talk show circuit. The Decemberists bring a macabre concept album to Leno. English rockers Friendly Fires display irresistible grooves on Carson.
Ciara and Yusuf are pulling double duty this week, so if you’re a fan, it’s like Christmas came early. If you want to see the artist most likely to be crowned this year’s Katy Perry, check out Asher Roth on Fallon.
