The xx “Islands” on Fallon (Video)

We’ll admit, it’s kinda a slow news Friday for those who aren’t running around Austin for SXSW. Fortunately, we’re just getting around to watching this clips of The xx performing “Islands” on Jimmy Fallon. Watching this band live is really a lesson on drum pad-subtlety (not something you usually get when folks are rocking the MPC). We’re also reminded that we never had a Shamrock shake this year. Anyone know if McDonalds is still serving?

Mid-Tale Coachella

Gravy and cheese smothered hashbrowns boiling in my stomach after Denny’s, driving up and down the 111 looking for Cree Street. We listened to my Ghostland Observatory CD three times (I refused anything else) and drove from Rancho Mirage to Twin Palms, Desert Palms, and at least two other palm tree derived oases before finding Cree Street, two blocks from where we had breakfast a full digestion ago.
