M.I.A. News:

Lavender Diamond Recruits Colin Meloy, Tunde Adebimpe for Show

From www.pitchfork.com at 20/01/10 05:45 PM. 0 comments.

Lavender Diamond frontwoman and Decemberists collaborator Becky Stark is the brain behind "Califunya", a new web variety show that features music and unbelievably twee comedy.


The short webisodes appear every other Tuesday morning on the website of advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy, with the first three episodes up now.


According to a press release, "Califunya" "parodies a high school play that is parodying a kids' show from the 60s as performed by grown-ups -- with all the expected exclamation points muted." Basically, it features Stark and her friends acting as childlike as possible.


Singer-songwriters Mia Doi Todd and Ariana Delawari both make regular appearances, and Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy shows up in episode two, briefly guesting on a song about a bluebird. TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe will also appear on the show in the future.
