Dean and Britta – I’ll Keep It With Mine
Southpaw
Brooklyn, NY

Carrying on the tradition set by Luna – one that was in the range of 10 years running – Dean and Britta played a New York live show on New Years Eve. They played some Dean and Britta songs as well as several Luna numbers including 23 Minutes in Brussels and Bewitched. Dean and Britta ended the set rather ominously, in my opinion, with the Joy Division cover Ceremony. I seem to recall that Luna, when doing New Years shows, would often end on an upbeat disco cover like “Rock You Baby”.
This is a video of a song from the “13 Most Beautiful People Songs for Andy Warhol Screen Tests” project that was released last year as a DVD, which if you haven’t seen yet, do yourself a favor and get it. This is a song that Bob Dylan wrote for Nico and therefore paired with the Nico screen test.
Ed Note: Dean and Britta topped my list of albums of the decade with L’ Avventura. Lets hope that 2010 treats them well.

Nice stuff. Thanks. The set closer was Ceremony (by Joy Division via Galaxie 500) and not Transmission – there’s a video of that on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCad4palqyM). Sounds like a great night – lots more Luna than they played when they were over here
Thanks for the catch. I got a pretty good string going of very avoidable track labeling mistakes.
Yeah, there were quite a few Luna songs during this show. Frankly I would rather hear D+B songs or at least keep the Luna songs from the seldom performed Britta-period late Luna albums. I would love to hear Lovedust, Black Postcards, Swedish Fish and many others rather than 23 Minutes in Brussles again. Maybe I am spoiled but I swear I have heard that song at least 23 times live already. Ok. I am spoiled.
