You may not have recognized him without a nosebleed, but that man adding piano accompaniment to Bonnie "Prince" Billy's Late Night With Conan O'Brien performance last night was our favorite hard-partying keyboard virtuoso, Andrew WK. Seriously, it's criminal that Close Calls With Brick Walls, Andrew's third full-length, isn't available in the States yet; it's filled with over-the-top anthems that will smack a big goofy grin onto your tired, worn face.

(UPDATE: NBC complained to YouTube, and this video got pulled at around 3 p.m. ET on Sept. 21.)
