The Cool Kids' follow-up to the underground success The Bake Sale is called When Fish Ride Bicycles, a name whose coolness we probably won't understand till we hear it. "Pennies" may or may not be part of it (they said they're not on a tight schedule by any means, they're just releasing songs when they please), but it's good stuff either way. Their metaphors and wordplay are ultra lighthearted but have as much or more legitimacy than 95% of the rappers out there.

A different version of "Pennies" appeared on the video game NBA 2K9, and speaking of NBA 2K, the duo is scheduled to headline the NBA 2K Bounce Tour with classy ex-Tribe Called Quest rapper Q-Tip. And if you haven't already, check that stellar performance Q did on Conan a few nights ago, performing the groovy "We Fight / Love" off his recent Renaissance.
