    Judd Apatow hosted "The Late Late Show" last night (Jan. 23) during this brief period of guest hosts before James Corden officially takes over for Craig Ferguson.

The singer stripped down the tune, creating a dark, emotional atmosphere. The performance was powerful, especially considering the fact that he just split from his wife of nearly six years, Mandy Moore.

  • Stream Ryan Adams's 'No Shadow' EP Featuring Johnny Depp on Guitar [LISTEN]

    Ryan Adams is keeping pace with 2014 already, dropping another EP in the form of No Shadow, "Stereogum" notes. What separates this release from last year's "1984" and "Jacksonville" shorts is that Johnny Depp, a devoted fan, joined Adams for the new effort. The pair linked up onstage in September to cover Danzig's "Mother," one of Adams's many live reworkings of 2014, and they apparently met up to put the finishing touches on "No Shadow" as well.The high-profile actor received writing credit on the title track, which he also played guitar and sang on, and contributed axe work to "It's in My Head." "Stoned Alone" is, fittingly, Adams going at it solo. Like "Jacksonville" before it, the first two tracks are keepers while the third is the singer just having some fun. Stream the EP via Spotify below.EPs aside, Adams had a solid LP year as well. His 14th(!) solo record, a self-titled release, dropped in September. The album gained attention with singles like "Gimme Something Good," "My Wrecking Ball" and "Stay with Me."

  • POP ETC. Shares New Song "Running In Circles," Announces New Album [LISTEN]

    Brooklyn-via-Berkeley indie rock group POP ETC (formerly the Morning Benders) have shared a new track titled "Running in Circles," which you can check out here. According to Stereogum, the track is the first to be shared from POP ETC's upcoming studio album, which is set for release later this year. Keeping up with the recent indie rock trend of paying homage to mainstream '80s rock artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, and Tom Petty (see: The War On Drugs, Ryan Adams), "Running In Circles" is a dancey, synth-heavy track that could easily be spun in a club, with a chorus that could legitimately be mistaken for a top 10 hit from 1985.

  • 10 Best Late-Night Performances of 2014: Ryan Adams, Bobby Shmurda and Kendrick Lamar Make the List [WATCH]

    The late-night performance has become a rite of passage in recent years for up-and-coming bands. For more established acts, it is a chance to play some songs from a new record. There is no denying that the moves made in 2014 in the late-night realm affected the quality of the performances. David Letterman is retiring in May, so he has just been enjoying it all — he really dug Ryan Adams. Jimmy Fallon took over "The Tonight Show," which meant The Roots adding their Philly funk to acts like Bobby Shmurda. And Stephen Colbert ended his tenure on "The Colbert Report" recently, wisely booking Kendrick Lamar for his final week.The last year was filled with great performances that may have been on past your bedtime. Here are a few of our favorites.
