Watch Tenacious D On Letterman:

Last night on the Late Show With David Letterman, Tenacious D came through to play “Roadie,” a “Jukebox Hero”/”Turn The Page”-style dedication to the mic-check engineers who skitter around the stage during soundcheck. The band also made an NSFW seven-minute short film around the song, starring Danny McBride. Watch the Letterman performance and the video below.

Watch: Kids Reenact Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" Video

The Village Voice points to a recreation of the Beastie Boys' iconic Spike Jonze-directed cops-and-robbers video for 1994's "Sabotage" by the Portland, Oregon-based filmmaker James Winters. In tribute to the late Adam Yauch, Winters replaces MCA, Ad-Rock, and Mike D with his young children and nephew, dressed as 1970s crime-show characters.
No knives present, here, but there is a playground, Connect Four, and a mysterious package of Pop Rocks.
Check out the reinterpretation and original, directed by Spike Jonze, below. Watch more classic Beastie Boys videos here.

Zooey Deschanel To Star In Loretta Lynn Musical

Music - Stereogum

According to The Observer, Zooey Deschanel will star in the Broadway adaptation of the classic 1980 film Coal Miner's Daughter, based on the life of Loretta Lynn. Let's run this down: she's got a TV show (New Girl), a rock band (She & Him), has been in some critically-liked films (Almost Famous, 500 Days Of Summer, etc.), and now will star in a Broadway musical. Since Tonys are only awarded to "new" musicals (here are the rules, if you care) it's entirely feasible that Zooey could win one. So the question has to be posed — EGOT for Zooey?!
