Many Americans are hoping this week goes quickly, so we can get to the three-day weekend awaiting us. And while I am one of those Americans, I also am eager to savor the good music gracing my TV this week.
Way to bring your A-game, talk show hosts. If I were handing out gold stars for booking good talent, many of you would be covered head to toe. Datarock and St. Vincent on Kimmel? Pet Shop Boys on Fallon? Dirty Projectors on Letterman? My heavens, a little something for every mood. I love it.
