New Tegan And Sara Video - "The Con"

Sara showed up sans Tegan for Drive XV, but in the Vancouver-based video for The Con's criminally catchy title track, the sisters Quin are reunited and running away from things again. (Check out Sara's "I'm sick and tired of my love" t-shirt.)

Less creepy than "Back In Your Head"'s gaggle of head-bobbing hoodies, but dealing with a soporific psychiatrist and delving into your memories and fears can also be pretty freaky, especially when dude collapses at your feet. No worries, though, T&S: We're slayed by that great hook, too.

I loves me some T&S, but that was pretty much crap. Yawn.

I despise me some T&S, but that was pretty much crap. Yep.

I liked it. Made me like the song a little more. They're hot too.

You guys better get rid of youtube, they're now the bad guys and will erase all copyrighted material, like this video.

Despite their atrocious mullets, I still wish they weren't gay. Sigh. I love me some Sara. Good song and album too, by the way.

I love them, but I have to say...those have to be the least flattering haircuts ever.

The mullet is still in fashion in Canada?

I love them, haircuts and all. The fucking new-mullet rocks! Not particularly popular here in Canada, but a hit among gay girls and indie chicks in Barcelona.
