TAS Walking With A Ghost In Paris Mash-Up

Kind of a cool Mash-Up of WWIAG with some techno music. It kind of reminds me of Tricky or Paul Oakenfold but with our girls rocking the vocals! Check it out:

Tegan and Sara at UC Berkeley



Somewhat annoying review of Tegan and Sara performing at UC Berkeley earlier this year. Sometimes it feels like they send critics who do not like the band on purpose! At least its not Rolling Stone, Spin, or Entertainment Weekly. I would have liked to make it to this show. TAS's liberal views probably fit in well with the campus that helped spurn the New Left in the 1960's.

Flashback: Pitchfork Media's Review of So Jealous

I love how Pitchfork's reviewer tried to sound so smart and clever in his review. I am sure he wouldnt talk bad about WWIAG if he knew Jack White and the White Stripers were going to cover it. I dont get how a critic could dig the Pixies, The Killers, Shins, or whatever and not like TAS!

Tegan and Sara: Most Unmentionable bands of the Decade?

I dont know what Coolfer was trying to prove when they posted this odd commentary. I think they read too much into Jack White covering WWAG. WWAG is a great rock song, and Jack White is paying tribute to it. You can read some of Coolfer's rediculous and delusionary remarks at the link.

Tegan and Sara Live at Amoeba Records in San Francisco



I was talking to a friend in the Bay area and supposedly TAS might be doing an in-store appearance at the great Amoeba records in San Francisco. It is probably going to happen in the early afternoon on February 1st before the Warfield gig. Her friend who works at the Amoeba said that it might be to promote the new DVD "It's Not Fun. Don't Do It!". If anybody has any further info on this post a comment or shoot an email. I only wish they would do one for the Los Angeles show too. I checked Amoeba's website and the schedule is clear for San Fran but not for LA.

Another Opening slot

Dont forget to pickup your tickets for Tegan and Sara's opening slot on Cake's "Unlimited Sunshine" tour. It is going to feature Cake, Gogol Bordello, and Eugene Merman. As all us dedicated TAS fans know opening slots are one of the main ways to see the girls do their thing. I am going to be curious to see how long their set will be. I am hoping it is at least an hour, but with a bunch of other bands on the bill who knows. Anybody have any insight on this?
