Thanks to an email blast courtesy of the Beastie Boys, I tuned into Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last week—they did an amazing rendition of So What’cha Want backed up by The Roots. Check it out about 19:35 into this episode.
I decided to tune in again Friday night, and was treated to—dare I say—an even better performance. Here’s the setup: Fallon asks members of the audience for a few details of their lives, then challenges The Roots crew to freestyle a song on the spot. Even better, they have to match a specific style or genre of music. It’s incredible to hear what they come up with in a pinch. The clip below is about 10 minutes, and you’re in for a treat if you have time to watch the whole thing. Hint: The Roots channeling Paul Simon.
I have to say, this show is really growing on me.
The 2009 installment of Urban Photo Safari is coming up on June 13th and this year Homer’s Coffee in downtown Overland Park is the starting point.
For those new to Urban Photo Safari, it’s a free event created to encourage you explore KC, get creative with your digital camera and—most of all—have fun (friends, family and non-creatives are welcome, too).
I’ve Safari’d 4 times now (’03, ’04′, ’06 and ’07)—it’s been a blast every time.
You can find the location, rules, tips and more at UrbanPhotoSafari.com. Hope to see you there! Until then, enjoy some of my shots from the ’07 Safari in Lawrence:
