I suppose Too Poppy is a blog 50 years in the making. Of course this month we're all celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles crashing onto our shores and fundamentally changing music forever. There are plenty of celebrations online and elsewhere, but it would be tragic if you missed last night's
Late Show with David Letterman performance of And I Love Her by
Broken Bells (and Ringo) in the Ed Sullivan Theater...

Perfection. In less than four minutes
The Shins' James Mercer and Danger Mouse collectively known as Broken Bells capture the essence of the initial revolution caused by The Beatles and the subsequent evolution of the popular music we revere today. Sting, Flaming Lips, Sean Lennon, and Lenny Kravitz are all
scheduled for the remainder of Letterman's weeklong celebration.
It's also a hell of a way to promote Broken Bells' new album
After the Disco, the follow-up to their fantastic
self-titled debut. Disco is out today.
