The first commenter is right, that's lipsynching.
Robert Hazard (sp?), the guy who wrote "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (and had a minor hit on alternative radio as a recording artist with "Escalator of Life") died recently.

I wish BV had made a post about this so I could post the comment "I'd hit it, too."

Kings of the Left
and
Trashed On Fiction will be performing at McCarren on Tue. The bands are at 6, the movie is like 7:30.
Granted it's not exactly street credif the band says it, but it's going to be a fun show/film/free thing. It's also the last screening for the summer.

Best,
band
