Ok, so they didn’t pull this one out last night at the US Cellular Connection Stage with Leinenkugel’s and FM1021 at Summerfest, but it’s still pretty sweet.  And perhaps it will help you cure your gnarly dance-party hangover!  When Passion Pit was asked to cover a song that influenced them when they were younger, what did they chose?   The Pumpkins’   ”Tonight, Tonight.”

Big news came from Conan O’Brien’s twitter  saying “Jack White & I are doing something cool tomorrow. Hint it involves a LOT of Tears for Fears songs.”

The tweet was followed by this video.

Conan will be at Bonnaroo this year, as well as Jack White with the Dead Weather.  So, the question remains who is the woman in the cape and hat behind Jack? We will have more updates for you about this and all things Bonnaroo tomorrow.
