Monday Bears: National on Fallon, Gaga confirms for Lollapalooza

With my spring vacation rolling in and the music blogo-sphere blowing up with everything SXSW, I decided to take a much anticipated week away from Bears and Bullets. I did so without informing anyone, yes, but I felt it was an unspoken agreement.

So, getting back into the groove of things (with a severe lack of anything good to report), I wanted to post The National's performance of "Terrible Love," from the group's upcoming May album High Violet on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon a couple weeks ago. The performance sheds a little light on way High Violet has quickly become one of this Spring's most heavily anticipated albums.

In other news, another headliner has officially joined the Lollapalooza 2010 lineup. With a little more than two weeks remaining before the festival's official lineup is revealed (Tuesday, April 6), sources revealed earlier today that Lady Gaga has officially been confirmed to be one of the six headliners alongside the already confirmed Green Day and Strokes.

Only three (likely) headline spots remain, with The Arcade Fire and Soundgarden more than likely taking two of those. The sixth and final spot, however, remains up in the air.

More rumors to come.
