Tegan and Sara Kick Off Their 'Spinner Takeover'
In anticipation of their forthcoming Chris Walla-produced LP 'Sainthood,' Tegan and Sara will be taking over Spinner all this week and through next Wednesday. Fans of the twins can expect an array of exclusive goodies, including behind-the-scenes high jinks, skits and, um, questionable attempts at drum solos. Best of all, starting next Monday we'll be streaming 'Sainthood' in its entirety on our Full CD Listening Party.
Today we're kicking things off with a preview of all the T&S stuff to come. In this clip you'll witness some sisterly bonding (of sorts) and a glimpse at Sara's foray into the buttoned-up "CEO corporate world" where she "has no heart and no soul" (Tegan's words, not ours). Have a look after the jump.

Sara reads for That Summertime Sound
From here:
There’s this cool new book out called That Summertime Sound about a 19-year-old who’s forced to choose between going home to Los Angeles to a detached family or living a rock n’ roll adventure into the heartland of America. The rock and roll novel by first time author Matthew Specktor is drawing praise and attention from all around, partially because of all the famous people who’ve recorded narrations of part of it, including Sara Keirsten Quin of Tegan and Sara. Jeremy Irons, James Franco, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and J Mascis (of Dinosaur Jr) also provided narrations for the audio recordings. Check them out below and read excerpts from the book here. Buy That Summertime Sound on Amazon and go to thatsummertimesound.com for more.
