Music News: The Roots do The Colbert Report theme, Langhorne Slim and Eastern Conference Champions and The Boss endorses Obama

 

 

 [ ]   The Roots opened Tuesday’s Colbert Report from Philly with the show’s theme.
 


 
The band returned later to play The Star-Spangled Banner – and smash its instruments. (Philebrity)
 
 
       For those of you scoring, that’s Butterscotch Krimpets, Yuengling Lager and Springsteen.
 
 
[ ]   A quick thumbing through of the new issue of Paste revealed two winks at suburban Philly (and a print redesign that was slightly chaotic and angry to this reader’s eyes).
 
-         On Page 21, Bucxo-based band Eastern Conference Champions were used as a sample band in one of the mag’s house ads for its website (which we’d link to, but it was SILLY fucking slow).
-         Langhorne-based (duh) artist Langhorne Slim track is used on the mag’s CD sampler.
 
 
[ ]   The Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz show at St. Joe’s last week didn’t go well. (WillDo)
