Proud parent alert: Jonah & Brian on Matt & Kim

Today my son Jonah (age 20) and his friend Brian made their debut on Huffington Post's new NYC Beat channel, reviewing a Matt & Kim concert at the Siren Music Festival in Coney Island.  They're good! (Jonah and Brian, that is, and I gather Matt & Kim too).  The review is structured as a kind of Paradise-don't-get-lost quest:

It takes us Jerseyans about two hours to get to Coney Island, the site of the annual Siren Music Festival. Saturday's journey gave us ample time to think about our relationship with Matt & Kim, this year's headliner. We had first seen Matt & Kim four years ago in a warehouse in Bushwick, where their simple keyboard and drum pop took just moments to turn a crowd of expressionless head-bobbers into a dance mob so excited that they had to be calmed down for fear of the floor breaking. They played with a sense of unbridled joy that neither of us had ever encountered. After that night, we chased them all over the city in search of that same high.
