A Staggering Work of Heartbreaking Genius

Bear witness to the drummer of a Korean wedding band as he reaches unimagined heights of personal expression.

Around the two-and-a-half minute mark, this unabashed poet will leap past your heart and begin speaking directly to your soul.

Praise him.

TNP Play ELO

The New Pornographers (with Neko Case) making an in-store appearance at the Apple Store in Soho. They’re doing a cover of ELO’s “Don’t Bring Me Down.” New York City 12/2007. [in DograColor] [with Sound]

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO.

Front man A. C. Newman told the audience that the band had been scheduled to perform for a TV show in Europe and asked to cover a “classic rock” song. This is what he came up with.

You can see almost every member of the band in this clip (except for Dan Bejar, who wasn’t there, and Blaine Thurier, who’s out of frame to the left) — A. C. Newman and Neko Case are up front, center; Kathryn Calder and John Collins are to the right; and Todd Fancey and Kurt Dahle are in the back.

Neko has a laugh at one point, though their faces are a bit hard to see in the hot lights. They really seemed to enjoy playing this song.

They Do Everything!

Well, not exactly, but Japan’s so-called no-brand brand store, MUJI, has finally made the move to New York.

The smaller SoHo store opened last Friday. The NYC flagship location will be in the not-yet-completed New York Times building, near Times Square, and will probably open up some time in 2008.

Head there soon for your very own cardboard speakers and other tan, acrylic and aluminum sundries!

Sputnik Redux

I just had to post another Sputnik picture when I saw this beauty at what is currently one of my favorite picture-blogs — A Soviet Poster A Day.

Glory to the Soviet Science!

Many more striking, and historically interesting, posters can be found at ASPAD. Take a look for yourself.

Can’t Get Me No

Here’s something I haven’t heard in a long while. Devo’s great cover of the Rolling Stone’s “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” from an old appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Maybe this song lends itself to worthy reinterpretations. I remember seeing P. J. Harvey live at a small bar in the East Village a number of years ago, and she did a very good solo-version of the song. There’s also Otis Redding’s soulful take on it and Cat Power’s drastic deconstruction on The Covers Record. Any one else know a good version of this classic?

Check it out on YouTube before it’s taken down like all the rest.
