Queen Bitch – David Bowie
| This is the David Bowie song from the Milk trailer. I especially like how the video is from one of those stogy old English, voice-of-a-generation music shows. |

This was in the beginning of the movie Being There. Pretty cool, I thought.

I was googling around today looking for Baba O’Riley played on bagpipes. I didn’t find it, but I did find this, where it’s recreated using only computer alert sounds and some text-to-voice software.
This is pretty good too:

Kat and I got pretty bored during the Meat Puppets. They were doing some sort of grunge bluegrass set I didn’t really get. And the same with Dinosaur Jr. I’d always wanted to see Dinosaur Jr, so I’m glad I got the chance. But their music is more sit-in-your-room instead of being surrounded by hostile fratboys.
J. Mascis’ setup was insane. He had three or four Marshall stacks surrounding him as monitors. I can’t imagine what his hearing must be like nowadays.
Built To Spill’s set was amazing. They played all of Perfect From Now On and a bunch of other songs too. The weird part was at the end. It’s the climax of the set and they’re jamming away. And then the guys from the other bands start to come on stage too. They switch drummers out, not stopping the song, mind you. The crazy Meat Puppets bass player comes out and switches from bass to cello to crazy voices on the mic. Meanwhile, J. Mascis and the Built To Spill guy are having some sort of guitar showdown.
It sounds awesome, and it was at first. But after 20 minutes, a climax kinda becomes a plateau. It got pretty boring.
Great show though.
I have photos here:

The band has been, err, disbanded, but they played was at NYC Popfest 2007, so maybe they’re keeping it alive.
