From The Barbary To The World

This is the way the modern rock and roll world works: You go see a show, it's fricking awesome, but once its done you think all you have left is the memory of its awesomeness, and few fuzzy pictures you took with your iPhone. But no: Somebody in the front row was capturing it all on video, of course, and by the next morning, it's been blogged about - most excellently, by Styrofoam Drone - and then Pitchfork picks it up, and every indie rock fan in the world who cares desperately about such things has shared in the awesomeness that you thought belonged only to you and the 150 people or so packed into the sweaty all-ages club.

Which is cool, I guess, because the awesome experience you just had has now become legendarily awesome all over the Internet and thus, the world. And you were actually there. The awesomeness of which I speak occured when Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus brought Cassie Ramone of The Babies, whom he went to high school with in Glen Rock, New Jersey and who is also in the Vivian Girls, on stage at the Barbary at the climax of a tremendous Titus A. show on Thursday night. The pair dueted on a "high school music" song which turned out to be Weezer's "Undone (The Sweater Song)," which you see here. And there's a more video clips at Styrofoam Drone.
