New Bridge School Benefit Comp Opens with Ministry, Closes with Josh Groban

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:06:25 +0000

Get your holiday shopping done early, and listen to tunes by Trent Reznor , Death Cab for Cutie , My Morning Jacket , John Mayer , Ministry and Josh Groban , all while supporting those in need: the fourth volume of The Bridge School Collection , which benefits children with severe physical impairments and communication difficulties, was released on iTunes yesterday. The digital release features 22 songs recorded at Neil and Pegi Young’s annual Bridge School Concert , held every October at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. The first concert was held in October of 1986 and, with the exception of 1987, has been held every year since. As a practice (but not a solid rule), performers use acoustic instruments, and Neil himself performs every year. Support this amazing organization by buying a copy of the album on iTunes. The tracklisting is as follows: 01 Ministry: Here They Come (11/2/94) 02 Ministry: Paisley (11/2/94) 03 John Mellencamp: Jackie Brown ...

Death Cab For Cutie Channel Wilco, 'Saw' (But Not 'Twilight') On Next LP

Chris Walla says the album's 'timeline is sort of getting pushed into the future' because of 'New Moon' hoopla. By James Montgomery Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla Photo: MTV News Death Cab for Cutie already have some experience with the whole "original song for a movie" thing (by now you are surely aware that their "Meet Me on the Equinox" served as the lead single from the "New Moon" soundtrack), but by the sound of things, it seems like they're about ready for a career change. On Wednesday night at the mtvU Woodie Awards — where Death Cab performed "Equinox" — MTV News got a chance to speak with them about their plans for life post-"Twilight." And, as it turns out, they've got even more soundtrack work on the horizon. "We've got Death Cab stuff at some point in 2010. We sort of need to figure out when we're going to do it. We're thinking of taking the whole 'bloody and loose' concept to another level," DCFC guitarist Chris Walla said, ...

Elder statesmen perform their 'New Moon' soundtrack song at the show, which airs December 4 at 10 p.m. on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU. By Kyle Anderson Death Cab for Cutie at the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards Photo: Bryan Bedder/ Getty Images NEW YORK -- The Woodie Awards , mtvU's annual celebration of college music and independent spirit, are often thought of as the raucous kid brother to the Video Music Awards. They feature artists on the fringes of various music scenes and bands who are only a radio hit or buzzworthy live show away from breaking into the big time. This year's show was no different, featuring envelope-pushing weirdos like Matt and Kim and Passion Pit. So what were Death Cab for Cutie — a band that has sold millions of records for a major label and whose recent hit is attached to the most hotly anticipated Hollywood movie of the season — doing there? They were teaching the kids how it's done. Woodie Awards ...

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:25:00 +0000

Matt and Kim's energy-filled performance sets the tone for the show, which airs December 4 at 10 p.m. on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU. By Kyle Anderson Death Cab for Cutie at the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards Photo: Bryan Bedder/ Getty Images NEW YORK — The spirit and energy of the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards — the madcap awards show that celebrates independent music and college radio across the country — was distilled entirely in the show's opening performance. Once the lights dimmed at Roseland Ballroom, house DJ Diplo cranked out booty-shaking jams while the giant video screens showed Brooklyn new-wave duo Matt and Kim riding through the city on bicycles. Once they arrived, they stormed the stage and kicked into "Lessons Learned." Flanked by eight backup singers who gradually stripped down to their underwear (in a nod to the Video Music Award-winning video for the same song), the duo jubilantly pounded out the song. Unlike this year's VMAs, stage crashers were welcomed ...
