Big Time for Jukebox the Ghost
by Katie
The rumor was circling Twitter all day yesterday—Jukebox the Ghost on Letterman! Jukebox on TV! Gonna shake hands with Donald Trump! Et ceterahhhh. I thought it might be a hilarious joke until all of their music friends reposted it with genuine enthusiasm, not more hilarious jokes.
As it turns out, yesterday afternoon, our dears in JtG donned their finest denim blazers and made their network debut by playing “Schizophrenia” off of next week’s Everything Under the Sun. (Order it, dawgs!)
I know I’m easily charmed, especially by this band, but here’s why: you can see the joy in their little faces to be playing right there at that exact moment, and that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Now I really need to find a place to live, because I plan to celebrate by ordering a ticket to see these guys at Mississippi Studios next month.
Start practicing your Siegel Salsa! Tour dates listed after the jump in case you’re still hemming and hawing. And hat tip to the Audio Perv, who appear to be the originators of this sweet video!

I know what you mean about their faces. Ben had a “i can’t believe we are actually doing this guys!” look a couple of times. I’m so happy for them
