I realize we’re already halfway through the week, but I wanted to mention briefly that not only is a Pink Floyd catalogue remastering/reissue campaign kicking off this week, but as part of that celebration the fine folks at “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” are having some great musical guests on to cover classic Pink Floyd songs every day this week. Monday featured The Shins performing “Breathe”. Tuesday had Foo Fighters (with Roger Waters) doing “In the Flesh”. Tonight (Wednesday) will feature MGMT doing “Lucifer Sam”, while Dierks Bentley does “Wish You Were Here” on Thursday and Pearl Jam does “Mother” on Friday. Impressive stuff, both the performances that have already happened and what looks to be the ones coming up. Be sure to watch the show each night, or check out the performances via internet video later. Go to the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon website for that, as well as more details. The details of today’s Pick Your Poison are almost as interesting. I can give a good old recommendation to tracks from The Drift, Jacuzzi Boys, PAPA, Tyler Ramsey and We Can’t Enjoy Ourselves. There are two interesting covers mixed in as well, with PLAINS covering Nirvana and Silent Rider covering TV on the Radio. In the Soundcloud section, the TATF remix of Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s “Ffunny Ffriends” is noteworthy as well.
