The Crystal Method could have named themselves after methamphetamine or some lucky lady that band members Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland both had a thing for. Either way, it’s a name that has stuck around, with their Grammy-nominated electronica music being heard everywhere from clubs to video games, to the theme from the TV show Bones. The boys from Vegas are back this week with their first studio album in five years, Divided by Night, which not only has Matisyahu guesting on the first single “Drown In The Now,” but also features vocalists Emily Haines (Metric), Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), and Justin Warfield (She Wants Revenge). The duo is currently on tour (check their MySpace page for dates), but Ken graciously took some time out to tell us about his love for Big Bird and give us ideas on places to have sex in our drug-free and dance-tastic Pop Quiz.

Matisyahu kicked off the 3rd annual Festival of Light with part one of a three series show at Webster Hall last night--just in time to celebrate the first night of Hannukah. After an opening performance with The Crystal Method, who debuted a spanking new track in their 1-hour DJ set, the man of the hour took the stage and delivered reggae jam after reggae jam, interjected with several unintelligible chanting moments, and a supreme beat-boxing collaboration, all while skipping merrily around the stage.
