News Explode Into The New York Times

I was sitting at the coffee shop Sunday in my usual half-stupor, still working on getting my coffee buzz to an acceptable level. But when I flipped the page of the New York Times Arts section and saw the above image I fucking jumped. Not bad for a band with no albums. Jeesssssus.

The attention came at the behest of the Gossip's Beth Ditto, who's there doing a guest playlist. Ditto also talks about how Lil' Wayne's obsession with giving head is oddly pro girl in the hip hop world and the interviewer gushes about Portland's greatness (yet still lives in New York).

Anyway, Kudos to the Colors girls for getting a hit in what is STILL the coolest media outlet out there. You owe Ms. Ditto something real.

Plus, if you look closely, Rob Walmart, Panther and AS/SS got some press out of it, too. Meta word-of-mouth.
