The kids are alright: Twin Sister plays Coco66

Despite unavoidably being reminded of my significant age advantage during their show, almost two weeks ago, at Coco66 in Greenpoint, Twin Sister (download a free four song EP also) are indeed something to experience live. Here's my FlipVideo of one of my current fave songs: "I Want a House".




Another video clip, this one not my own, is worth a look, too. Thank heavens, The National are finally putting out a new album this year. Here is the first song, "The Terrible," I've heard/saw. And we have (unfortunately, because, as I've previously made clear, I hate him) Jimmy Fallon to thank. And BrooklynVegan, for that matter.

Fallen Fallon

Just finished watching the new Jimmy Fallon show. I feel dirty.

I only vaguely remember hearing something about this integrated-marketing talk show model that Fallon was supposed to be proffering up. I asked, aghast, how would that even work? I don't know, the girl who works in marketing admitted.

I don't know who the hell these people, this guy, think they are? I do know that Binaca now has an "eco-friendly" container and you can record a voice mail greeting on the iPhone (what phone can't?) and then play it back for all your friends to hear it, even though ostensibly they would have just heard you leave it and wouldn't need to again, but according to Fallon this feature, no doubt an "App" (older post) or something, "is really" cool."

What disturbs almost more, The Roots are his house band. I mean, make that money and all, but wtf? Shame, Questlove, shame.
