What to Download: New Music Today
It's one of my favorite days of the week: Tuesday! Which means I get to add DVDs to my Netflix queue, along with some brand new tunes for my iPod. So check out today's music releases for what you should download.
Death Cab For Cutie's "Meet Me on the Equinox" Video From New Moon — Love It or Leave It?
Fans everywhere have been anxiously waiting for the video from the New Moon soundtrack, Death Cab For Cutie's "Meet Me on the Equinox." It's the first song off the album, and the video features the band playing between clips from the movie. While it's not among my favorite Death Cab songs, it does seem to fit the bill for New Moon's big breakup between Edward and Bella.
Listen Up: Amy Millan's "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" Cover
The Death Cab for Cutie song "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" is heartbreaking no matter how it's performed, but Amy Millan's country-tinged version feels a little less like a sock to the gut than the original. Perhaps it's that her soft, lovely voice is so comforting, but somehow this one doesn't emotionally destroy me quite as much as Death Cab's.
Millan plays with the bands Stars and Broken Social Scene, but this Death Cab cover will appear on Masters of the Burial, her second solo album.
Music Video: "Little Bribes" by Death Cab For Cutie
This music video for Death Cab for Cutie's song "Little Bribes" is basically just a series of things spelling out the words to the song as we hear Ben Gibbard sing them, and yet, it's mesmerizing. There's no real visual story going on, but I found that I didn't want to look away from these words flashing onscreen, perhaps because I just wanted to see what objects would be used to spell out the next word. It's so basic, but playful enough to be interesting.
What to Download: New Music Today
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores. So I take a spin through each week's music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections:
An ode to California: Jill Sobule's known for her 1995 hit "I Kissed A Girl" (no relation to Katy Perry's song of the same title).
