The White Stripes Rock The Daily Show

Jon Stewart pointed out that music and news have always gone together.

"I think we remember Zeppelin on Koppel ... Brokaw: known as the Don Kirshner of news..."
Who's got MP3?

PREVIOUSLY: "We've never had a musical performance on the show before - not because we haven't wanted one - but because we were holding out for a reunited Spandau Ballet."

UPDATE: AAC Action (YouSendIt)! Thanks J@ffa.

I seem to remember that during the Kilborn years on TDS, They Might Be Giants celebrated the show's anniversary by playing "I Can Hear You" live on the show with a real wax recording device. But perhaps Stewart doesn't consider the Kilborn years as even the same show.

Comedy Central should be re-running this a couple times today as per usual with The Daily Show. I just set the DVR for the 2:00pm EST replay.

I miss Kilborn. I mean, Jon is great, but every now and then I wonder why Craig can't stick with a TV show for once. What's he doing now?

I also miss Vance DeGenerous, Mo Rocca, and Frank DeCaro.

TDS gets shown here in the UK on More4 on a one-day time delay. I'm watching it right now, in fact, and as soon as my record's done (god bless my EyeTV!), I'll sort out some tasty AAC rips and post them up here! :)

Does anyone know why Jack White had a mirror setup on his piano? Does he just want to see how he looks while he's singing or what?

The mirror is so he can see what Meg's up to, and vice-versa. Eagle-eyed concert-goers will sometimes see Jack mouth, "Slower" or "Faster" to Meg using this new-fangled communication technology.
