Chris’ Music Snobbery has an excellent wrap-up of last night’s Spin 20th Anniversary Party at Webster Hall. DBT, Public Enemy, Death Cab, LCD Soundsystem, and more.
You can download Plans b-sides “Bad Reputation” and “Start Again” at Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good. I stopped keeping up with new Freedy Johnston a few years ago, but his breakthrough disc This Perfect World is … well, perfect.
Also perfect is the clip for LCD’s “Tribulations.” Watch it here. Very clever.

Did anyone else see that group downstairs banging on the stove? I had seen that video on MFR months ago, never thinking I’d actually SEE them play “Total Eclipse of the Heart” live.
I like the Juliette Lewis album and no, I refuse to lay off the sauce.
Thanks for including my blog on here, but you go the name wrong…
It’s called Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good (although the URL is http://www.musicforANTS.blogspot.com) — Thanks!
Love DCFC. Love Freedy Johnston. But I still don’t see much of a need for that cover at all. It’s so by-the-book, and Gibbard sounds so much like Johnston that it’s entirely superfluous.
Incidentally, as absolutely great as This Perfect World is, Can You Fly? may be even better. Two of the best albums of the 90s, IMO. Never Home is quite good, too. Then came the slide…
“Soul Meets Body” is “Changes” by Yes. Ben Gibbard is the new Jon Anderson.
I think the main reason, no one is around for Death Cab, is they continue to write the same song over and over again, thus being dubbed Death Cab to Boredom. And for LCD Soundsystem, they do the Talking Heads way better than Clap your Hands and say Yeah but I’m sure none of you will agree with that.
LCD Soundsystem are one of the best bands around and this video is a testiment to my statement!
