I was watching Conan O’Brien the other night, trying to fall asleep, when these two girls with $200 haircuts that looked like designer swim caps started playing guitars and chirping some awful tweeish indie rock. No big deal, I thought, it’s just another pair of dolts with a gimmick who both play the exact same chords throughout the entire song because they’re not really musicians. I asked my girlfriend if she knew who they were and she said, “Oh yeah, that’s Tegan and Sara.” To which I replied: “Where are the tap shoes?” She just looked at me like she normally does when I say something completely inappropriate. I just turned off the TV and went to bed. The next morning I woke up with sleep in my eyes and those two nu-dykes stuck in my head. WHERE ARE THE TAP SHOES? I was certain I was correct, but a quick Wikipedia search had nary a mention of Gregory Hines or Ann Miller’s influence on their awful music. I’m still confused by it all. I mean, Tegan and Sara? It sounds like they should be doing fucking cramprolls and shuffle hops to an audience of severely wrinkled people. Am I the only person who thinks this? Please tell me someone out there made the same mistake. And yes, I now realize I was confusing them with Tilly & the Wall. Whatever. Same shit, different emo hairdresser.

Wow, well done on getting this utter tripe published, it’s the most poorly written piece of garbage I’ve read since I hoovered a load of horse tranquliser last night and tried to write the lyrics to the entire Limp Bizkit discography on my ball sack.
And that’s saying something, given that I think Tegan and Sara are more than worth a good freaking piss-take…
