Mad About Music Monday - Rodrigo y Gabriela

To begin this, the second week of October we have a special instrumental group for you to enjoy. Rodrigo y Gabriela is an acoustic duo hailing from Mexico City but finding residence in Dublin, Ireland. If that move seems interesting to you you should hear their style. They first met in a thrash metal band in Mexico City drawing heavily from the world of metal music. Mix in their Latin background with some Spanish and Mexican styles and top it all off with some techniques picked up while performing on the streets of Ireland and you get the unbelievable duo of Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Conan's Cast-Off

If you didn't already know Jay Leno is leaving the Tonight Show. About a year or so ago NBC announced that his replacement would be the Late Night host Conan O'Brien. NBC also stated that Jimmy Fallon would replace Conan O'Brien on Late Night as of March 2nd, 2009. On another note, I read earlier today the former co-host Andy Richter would be returning and acting as the announcer on the Tonight Show.

So here is a clip from the last Late Night with Conan O'Brien where he speaks of those behind the scenes, those who got him here, and all of the rest of his supporting cast. I hope you enjoy Conan as the host of the Tonight Show as much as you've liked his work on Late Night. Check out Conan on the Tonight Show starting June 1st, 2009.
