Music / TV Updated: Stephen Colbert Performed at the Third Man Records Truck on the High Line

Update: Oh! And here's footage of the show. Stephen Colbert sort of sounds like Weird Al, and The Black Belles look like the living scenery from a middle school play. There's also a phantom bass line, but no one appears to be playing bass. Tacky, tacky, tacky. (via Animal)
Apparently, with turntables, a microphone, guest DJ's, t-shirts and all sorts of musical goodies, the mobile store is somewhere between Jack White's interpretation of the Spice Bus and the taco truck. Check it out, if you want. It's a stunt, yes, but it's kind of exciting in that adult scavenger hunt kind of way.
But before we move on—The Black Belles? What's their deal? And how much do they resent having to wear that stupid getup? It looks like there might be something chafing under those hats. And from the social justice soapbox: It's a frightening world we live in where Jack White can afford his own human barbie dolls, GE paid zero dollars in taxes last year, and this guy robbed a bank (sort of) so he could go to prison and get the healthcare he couldn't afford.
