Siren Festival '08

Over this weekend I sweat my balls off and rocked at the annual Siren fest on Coney Island. In an acknowledgement of my inferiority I have agreed to cover the event for my brother's blog. Check him out either this afternoon or tomorrow for my coverage along with excellent pictures from a very pretty photographer.

Paul Schaffer Plays With Everybody

Paul Schaffer is a busy body. You might assume leading the Late Show band through excerpts from a late 90's modern rock radio play list between comercial breaks wouls tucker out the old guy. Certainly you'd assume he'd greet the performance of other musicians in the last 7 minutes of the show as a welcome break. But not this work horse. Paul Schaffer seems to need to to play with everyone. And does:

Paul plays piano with Stephen Malkmus...


Paul and the band on hand claps with LCD Soundsystem...


Paul decides there's not enough people in Broken Social Scene...



Paul adding a really unneccassary keyboard line to "Monkey Gone To Heaven"...



Sonic Youth DON'T play with Paul...
