Truth on Conan from We Are Scientists
From the we are scientists news page:
Dave Letterman to us privately after we played our song on his show and the sound had cut out: “Thanks for coming on the show! Great job.” Carson Daly: “Hey, good job. That was great.” Conan O’Brien: “Wow, interesting time signature on that! … I played a thunderbird once, actually — they’re really weirdly weighted … So this is a ’52 reissue, right? Not an original.”
This reminds me of the time I saw Conan (or was it times) I saw him. At the preshow banter he was like “Everybody take off their clothes and let’s party” I naturally start taking off my shirt. To which he replies “Hey you in the back stop! That guy was actually getting his shirt off.” Good times. Did anyone ever see when he hosted the TNT showing of Clambake the 1967 Elvis pic? He wore a Hawaiian shirt and played acoustic guitar the during the bumpers. “Clambake gonna have a clambake” That was like Elvis officially jumping the shark, water skis and all.
Also I happened to catch Metric on Conan, man did they kill.
Well, yeah, so… who’s down for a cover version of “I am a scientist” by GBV…

Ohh Conan was my favorite late night host! I never saw his live show though. :( For a while it was my dream to somehow get on his show. I’d have to be famous first, though…
WAS! Good stuff.
