BSS On Letterman Tonight
The Canadian Content of the Late Show with David Letterman will increase by several hundred percent as our own uber-group Broken Social Scene hits CBS tonight. We wonder whether Paul Shaffer will join Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, et al.
BSS will be joined by new Lois Lane Kate Bosworth and hopefully be upstaged by a bunch of middle-aged New Englanders who do crazy things with Mentos and Diet Coke.
Letterman airs at 11:30 ET.

For those who were wondering, the song they played was "Fire Eye'd Boy." And, yes, Paul Shaffer did join them on the keyboards. There were ten or eleven of them in total (not counting Shaffer), and the sole woman was, I believe, Amy Millan.
Overheard in my house last night:
"Honey, c'mere; BSS is on Letterman next" - Me
"This song is cool" - Wife
"That guy that plays drums and keeps running up to the mic is funny? Whats his deal?" - Wife
"Do they need that many people & guitars onstage?" - Wife
"No, no they don't" - Me
PS: Still a great performance though. Too bad the sound guys couldn't get the vocals right until the last stanza.
Schticks' getting a little tired, song was boring
