Daniel Merriweather performs on Carson Daly

Those of you who aren’t still standing in line trying to get your iPad 3G tonight may be interested to know that soul singer Daniel Merriweather will be performing well past midnight on Last Call with Carson Daly. Merriweather, the twenty-eight year old Australian resident of New York City who at his best manages to channel Otis Redding and is currently best known for his hit single “Red” is a favorite here at Beatweek (we interviewed him earlier this year) and is well worth checking out on television tonight – or employing the Tivo, as the case may be.

Haven’t heard the song “Red” yet? Actually, you probably have: “You took something perfect and painted it red.” Last we checked, the video is on VH1 every few minutes, at least during those hours of the day that the channel actually still plays music videos. In any case, that interview is right here.
