Week in Rock: Boys & Girls Edition

God Bless Americana

Nothing says the 4th of July like some good 'ol Americana-charged folk rock. Last Saturday Jenny Lewis and Conor Oberst took the stage at Battery Park to entertain the masses. The two played their own sets, as well as together, each garnerning much praise. For instance, one anonymous commenter thought Oberst was "much better than i thought he would be." You can't buy press like that!

Elsewhere: Did you know Jenny Lewis was once on the Golden Girls playing a Girl Scout Sunshine Cadet. It's true! And for your Conor fix, here's a recent performance he did on Letterman.
