Ugh: Of Montreal and Solange Knowles Perform "Sex Karma" on Fallon

Posted by on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 10:45 AM

Alright, so, a couple things about this:

1) If M.I.A. had employed mimes a couple weeks ago when she did "Born Free" on Letterman, perhaps I would understand why everyone thought it was sooooo good.

2) It makes no sense to methat everyone cries classist or racist or whatever when Vampire Weekend uses auto-tune or expresses an interest in African music, yet it's perfectly acceptable for Kevin Barnes to do this Prince-lite sex-jam thing, with lines like, "You look like a playground to me, playa" and the awesomely objectifying "You are my only luxury item." The white face paint only makes the whole thing worse.
