Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings | Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)
Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings covering Kenny Rogers and First Edition? You night not believe it, but it’s a match made in heaven.
When Yeasayer remixes Gotye, you’d expect it to be pretty spacey and just a little weird. “Eyes Wide Open” is both and we’re digging it.
We asked our resident fashion maven for help answering this one. Here’s what she had to say:
Bumberfashion: a blend of the current trends and relaxed retro. Think feathers and fringe dancing next to the classic hawaiian shirt and sandal combination. It’s your mom’s vintage paisley print paired with comfortable kicks, and your dad still rocking that faded black band t-shirt from the nineties that will never leave his collection. A Festival with a wardrobe as diverse as the lineup itself, displaying everything under the perfect 75 degree sunshine.
Amy: “I think it means ‘The sun will erupt… All shall perish… A great cataclysm will destroy the world in the year 3012!’”
Bender: “The world?! That’s where I live!”
Fry: “So the world will end in 3012? Why does that year sound so familiar?”
Professor: “Because that’s the year that’s this year!”
