MR. DOOL

I’ve long been a fan of the British show “Later…with Jools Holland,” based solely on YouTube clips of the musical guests.  I have no idea whether or not people actually watch it, or if it’s like the Carson Daly debacle and network execs leave his late night snoozefest on the air because who has time to create a new show these days?  However, judging from the caliber of musical guests, I’m going to say Jools is more than a few steps above Mr. D.  So much so, that I’m hard-pressed to find the equivalent on American TV.  “Later” showcases artists both established and new, and gives equal airplay to both.  Check out Ellie Goulding above, followed by some great clips from Miike Snow, Wild Beasts and Devendra Banhart after the jump.
