What songs would you hope they would play?

Umm.. how about when they do?
I'd love to see them play Perfect Space.

I'd like to see them play most anything off the new album, but if they play on TV anytime soon, I would have to think they would play I and Love and You. It may not be my favorite song off the album, but it's definitely the one that they have down as far as playing it in a live setting. Also I think they want to get the name of the album out there as much as possible.

I agree. They are the first(?) band to use that phrase 'I AND love AND you'. It's pretty catchy, and I can't say I've thought of the words individually in that phrase before, as often as I've said it. Three elements. I and you, and love in the middle. and. what?

Definitely something they'd want to put in people's heads. But I agree with blasto, not my favorite. 'It Goes On and On' also isn't my favorite, but it would sound great on TV!

I think they'd play I and Love and You, also, BUT I can't imagine Scott would stay on drums--he may, but I wonder if they'd get a drummer like in Charlotte? It would seem a bit odd to have him way in the back for such a big deal. I think it would be pretty cool if they played Laundry Room b/c of the intensity and the end--seems more typical of them overall, though I and Love and You is probably more typical of the album.

Wish me luck, I know you think I'll need it.

Yeah chilixx, I think Laundry Room is a very practical choice. I could easily see that.

So if ever someone says to you "Life isn't fair, get used to it"
Then you should say "Well It might be if folks like you would let it be."

I agree with I and Love and You or Laundry Room. I and Love and You would get the name out there, and they definitely have it down. And Laundry Room would leave a pretty big impression.

tin man and perfect space

i & l & u and laundry room are both close to 5 minutes though...i just wonder if they'd play a shorter version of either?

I and Love and You is the obvious choice. But Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise would make an impression on me if I didnt know who these guys were.

I'm with catfisher! But I'd be very surprised if they whipped that one out for TV.

The perfect space or 1&L&Y.

I'm like my grandma: short, but I stand tall, playing every card that's dealt to me. Some days are aces, and some days are faces, and some days are twos and threes.

Ten and Tin....love them both.

Is I & L & U the official "single"? Do they even do that anymore? Anyway, I think it with the video shoot of that song and such, that it would be the song, but if I had my druthers, it'd be HFOD,RFOP, it's my fav thus far, but I will admit to chastity in any form of early listening, so I haven't heard them all.

Ten and Tin also... really love them both, mao. Another good call

'TenThousand Words' and 'Laundry Room' (live version:-)

What's up with the new name, Casey Jones?

--I gave to you my ugly brown coat, you made it pretty when you put it on....

I'd like to see them play a new one and an old one. Perfect Space and November Blue.

Feel free to hate on me, I know you will, but they're not at their best on tv.

It's gotta be I & Love & You... it has the hook that people will remember... "Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in".

(Do your own math - i.e. searching for when/where Sticking out tongue)

I don't know the accuracy of these sites above, but the timing coincides with some of those cancelled dates, emails from the cancelled shows' venues, & other hints that have been dropped.
I'm not big on rumors, but this is all but confirmed now, really, isn't it?

One thing's for sure. They won't be playing Salina on that show.
I'm guessing it'll be I and Love and You, but I'd love if they played Head Full or Ten Thousand Words.

I'll change it back if you want me to Yogini.

They're the only people billed for the Letterman appearance, too. So they'll be getting some good screen time Sticking out tongue

Haha, if only!!!

Let's hope Joe gets to read the top 10 list.... "Top Ten reasons they won't let the Asian officially join the band" Laughing out loud

Did anyone else here Scott say they were gonna end up in California by the end of the month when asked by the ECU guy where they were headed next?

I think that And it Spread would be a great TV performance song for them, but I agree that it'll probably be I and Love and You.

Colorshow would be totally BA. But I don't see that happening.

Comcast has it listed in their guide. It's so exciting and my dvr is already set!

shamugun, maybe the interview was taped in august, because they were in san fran at the end of last month.

or maybe you mistook canada for california? cuz you better believe they're in toronto on the last day of this month!

Smiling That's quite possible.

Also, I wonder how far in advance Letterman tapes since they're playing the Austin City Limits Festival on October 2nd?

wait...shamugun or shamu gun? what do you have against that poor beast?

orrr...is it a gun to give TO shamu so he can blast his way back out to open water? now that's a sea world show i'd like.

Not so interesting I'm afraid. More like a water gun I had years ago shaped like my favorite animal the killer whale. I made up the aol screen name back then in an effort to remind a cousin of mine of the many water gun fights I won. It stuck around.....the screen name that is. I can't find that water gun for the life of me.

awww...that's much cuter than imaging shamu wielding an AK-47.

No need to change it back, but I was just curious...I liked that unique name you had Smiling
