Late Night With Jimmy Fallon is in the midst of a historic musical winning streak on the level of those 20 straight victories the Oakland A's rattled off in Moneyball. Last week, Fallon curated a five-day tribute to Pink Floyd starring Pearl Jam, Roger Waters with Foo Fighters, and the Shins. On Monday, he welcomed Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood to the Late Night stage. How do you top that? By securing Portishead's first U.S. television performance since 1998. The trip-hoppers provided the Fallon audience with an incredible rendition of their krautrock gem "Chase the Tear." The band also played "Mysterons" for a Fallon web exclusive. Soak it in, because this may be the last time you'll see Portishead on the television for the next dozen or so years.

What's even less probable than a televised Portishead performance? Conan O'Brien ever appearing on an NBC show again. However, the former Late Night host made a surprise cameo on Fallon last night to pick up an old friend.

Another day, another rock & roll memoir. Add Rod Stewart to the list of musicians taking a break from writing songs to pen their autobiographies. The singer agreed to a deal with publishing company Random House to release his life story in October 2012, Reuters reports. Considering Stewart is serenading millions of moms these days with his Great American Songbooks, on the surface it may seem like his story would be a PG-rated version of Keith Richards' Life. However, Stewart is a notorious Lothario, and his tales will no doubt emphasize on the first part of "sex, drugs, and rock & roll."

"It is a funny old thing telling my life story but I truly intend to hold nothing back. Forget skeletons in the closet; this one's going to be socks and knickers under the bed," Stewart said in a statement. Wikipedia lists a small fraction of Stewart's noteworthy relationships, and it reads like a Murderers' Row of bombshells, actresses, and models. Stewart's still-untitled book is going to be like

In January, Bob Dylan signed a six-book deal with Simon & Shuster to pen two more volumes of his Chronicles memoirs and a collection of his satellite radio show monologues. Since then, rock's poet laureate hasn't published anything, and doesn't appear close to releasing a follow-up to his 2004 bio Chronicles, Volume One. Despite all that, Dylan is considered a favorite to win the Nobel Prize for Literature on Thursday, the BBC reports. British oddsmakers Ladbrokes bumped the alleged plagiarist's Nobel chances from 100/1 to 10/1 over the past day thanks to "a substantial gamble from clued-up literary fans."

Considering Dylan has two books under his belt, Chronicles and his 1966 experimental novel Tarantula, the Nobel panel is likely factoring in his 50 years of groundbreaking lyrics and stories-with-a-tune as part of his literary output. A similar situation occurred in 2008, when Dylan was given a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation and Award in the arts category for "for his profound

"Me and Mrs. Jones" is a 1972 standard by the legendary songwriting team Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff that was first performed by Billy Paul. Its subject: an extramarital affair both parties "know it's wrong/But it's much too strong to let it cool down." Amy Winehouse flipped the script a bit on her 2006 album Back to Black with "Me & Mr Jones," a song about a crush who "played me out like that" and even made her miss a Slick Rick show. Its subject: Nas!

There was some gossipy chatter about the Queens MC and the British soul star in the past, but Nas tells XXL (via Hip-Hop Wired) he was well aware he was the "Mr. Jones" in question (his real name is Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones). "I don't really remember if Salaam, who was really close to her, who introduced us, if he told me about it or not," Nas said, referring to the track's producer, Winehouse's longtime collaborator Salaam Remi. "But, I heard a lot about it before I even heard the song."

Now that we know that, some of the track's
