a british music television show hosted by Jools Holland, the show's been running without a break since 1992 and is a part of BBC2's late-night line-up, usually airing around 11PM. each episode features a mixture of both established and new musical artists, from solo performers to bands and larger ensembles.
the show is currently broadcast in america on Ovation (check that cable line-up!) although the ovation broadcasts sometimes leave out several performances - and even one or two performers entirely - to fit enough commercials into the one-hour timeslot. the show is also shown in australia on the max channel and ABC2.
according to the episode listing on the wikipedia entry for the show, this morning ovation (on my local comcast network in philadelphia) is airing shows from february 2008. i just caught vampire weekend, and the episode just before included MGMT.
here's a vid for you from each of those two uber-hip bands.
enjoy!
