Any word on the quality of the performance? Those aren't exciting choices for a die hard but they make sense for the national audience they're playing for and the guests on the show

Two songs is kind of cool though. Too bad they decided to pander.

But why should I be surprised.. 2002 was a long time ago

Slow Lukin into Hard To Imagine is cool . I don't see how those are standards.

I'm pretty sick and they are songs I don't feel a need to stay up for if you want to use that as a guide

Someone correct me if I am wrong but pj TV appearances are almost always the current single. 3 exceptions

1. Grievance - the most easily accessible song on binaural
2. Got some on Conan (2008?)
3. Ole (2011)

So they're probably more likely to surprise in the post 2002 era (though not tonight)

And one of these choices would be very cool to someone who hasn't listened to 200 boots.

Which eliminates most of us.

Fair point. I just felt like criticizing post-riot act pj.

Actually one of my favorite "tv" performances of the last 7-8 years was the RITFW they did on conan in '08. As standard and as played out as the song is, they played the shit out of it. Tons of energy that didn't seem to be at all fake.

Both songs fit with in the context of why they are on the show. While I would have picked DTE and maybe Imagine as the cover or maybe Millworker. The two they picked made alot of sense.

It wasn't aired.. Only available online. I think you can still find it on vimeo.


And I just caved on the spoilers..

Ugh.

Sounds like it will neither be interesting enough nor funny enough to hear.

Nope. Your best bet is a bad performance

Why have a bad performance when there is Viagra. I can not wait until the 10C is selling PJ Viagra
