Hey T + S fans,

A few months ago one of our favorite comedians, Margaret Cho, asked us to write a song with her for her new album. She is outrageously talented and funny and we had never been enlisted for this type of collaboration before! We had met Margaret before, but only briefly backstage at one of our shows in Los Angeles, so we were REALLY nervous!

Sara and I sat down with lyrics that Margaret had written and wrote a song and then we all headed into the studio to record for two days together in vancouver!

Howard Redekopp who just finished co-producing SAINTHOOD was enlisted to record the song and Ted Gowans our lovely and talented band mate joined us as well.

Imagine 10 hours of laughing, singing, eating, laughing, talking, eating and laughing and you might have a bit of a clearer picture of what our two days and nights were like. The song itself turned out amazing. Margaret has a great voice and was so easy to work with and really collaborative! Definitely a budding musician! I even got to play drums and do an improv comedy bit!

A few nights ago she performed the song live at Largo in LA. I saw a video of it the next day, it was awesome! We were able to create a “TV version” of the song so that she can sing her part live while the rest of the track plays backing her up. She did an amazing job. I’ve heard the song now 400 times and I still laugh. While the topic of the song is actually quite serious (the song is called INTERVENTION) Margaret is comfortably able to explore the topic through her lyrics using humor and her heart. Lindsey Byrnes was there to capture the highlights on camera. Check out the photos below. And stay tuned to www.margaretcho.com for more details about live performances and the release of her new album.

I’ve heard a short list of artists who are going to be involved and I feel so excited to be joining such a talented roster of people! Thanks Margaret!

-Tegan (and Sara)

Just wondering if anyone has any videos from any of the recent Vancougar shows?

I've seen the Feel It In My Bones acoustic performance that was posted earlier but apparently there was some good banter and, as always, a great performance :)

I've searched for some but can't find any so if you can post some I would be greatful!

Thanks in advance if I can't personally thank you in a reply! :)

What songs you skip every time you play sainthood?


I just CAN'T listen to Arrow, Don't Rush and Northshore. The three of them suck so bad.

I absolutely love all the other songs though <3

So now I know that I'm definitely going to a show, I want to know if anybody knows the setlist on this tour and if they ever change their setlist at all? Any info would be awesome!

Hey, I have extra tickets for both Ottawa shows and was wondering if anyone on here is looking for some. I contacted a few people on kijiji but strongly suspect that they are scalpers and that their offers will fall through now that I've said I can't meet to give them the tickets to them until the 22nd. I'd rather see them go to a fan anyhow.

Also, if anyone is planning on going, check Craigslist, because I saw a post on there by someone who won the chance for them and a friend to go to the Live Lounge acoustic set, but doesn't have a friend who is interested in going and is offering the spot to the first person who emails them.

If you find yourself at the crossroads of insomnia and insanity, this is the place to channel those demons that keep you sleepless. Vivid pictures, poetry, ruminations, and confessions from the nether hours between dusk and dawn. Originally formed to celebrate the city at night, there's a strong urban theme.

Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)
