David Letterman<\/strong> is into the home stretch of the late-night TV era over which he presided phenomenally.\u00a0 So we can expect the great music acts on Late Night<\/strong> to be anted up over the remaining stretch.\u00a0 To wit, Late Night<\/strong> musical matters were represented well last night when one of our faves, the brainiac Brooklyn band Parquet Courts<\/strong><\/a>, showed up to impress with their track Bodies Made Of<\/strong> <\/em>off of their critically-acclaimed 2014 album Sunbathing Animal<\/strong>. We love everything about this performance, including the sounds and delivery from The Fall\/Pavement\/Silver Jews<\/strong> continuum, as accented by Television<\/strong>-like guitar lines and the closing guitar-ferocity.<\/p>\n

Not to mention that Andrew Savage<\/strong> is quickly establishing himself as one of the most gifted wordplay-enthusiasts on the scene.\u00a0 If you don’t believe us, after the Letterman performance check out one of the Best Songs of 2014<\/strong> (list soon come), Uncast Shadow Of A Southern Myth<\/strong><\/em>, from the band’s alter-ego Parkay Quarts’<\/strong> album Content Nausea<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s got everything we could want in a song.\u00a0 The incredibly well-wrought lyrics (emphasis added below), which are up to the standards of David Berman<\/strong>, follow at bottom.\u00a0 Bravo!<\/p>\n
