Well not all of Land Of Talk — and as is generally the case, not all of Broken Social Scene. Last minute distractions kept me from hitting the Mystery Concert semester kickoff party at NYU (featuring BSS, Pattern Is Movement, and the French Kicks) last night, but Pop Tarts Suck Toasted made it to the Kimmel Center, armed with video equipment and the good fortune of seeing LoT’s Lizzie Powell fill in for the usual lineup of BSS ladies on “7/4 (Shoreline).” Kevin Drew starts by saying the only reason they’re playing the song is because Lizzie is in the building, and based on this performance (and her citizenship), she fits the Scene pretty seamlessly. Mic issues aside.
The Scene continues to sprawl. Pop Tarts promises more videos from the show soon. Also, worth remembering: Land Of Talk’s long awaited, Bon Iver-produced, full-length debut is out 10/7 via Saddle Creek. There’s an MP3 if you’re curious.
Finally, here’s one of openers Pattern Is Movement with “Jenny Ono,” from their excellent 2007 release All Together:

their set was dissapointing.it was obvious they just did the show for the money and didnt care at all cause they were playing for rich nyu kids.
Lee Sargent from Clap Your Hands is up there with BSS, off to the far left …
that person clapping during 7/4 (shoreline) is really annoying.
I thought BSS’ set was pretty damn good. They really mixed things up well between the new “Presents” albums and the older more traditional BSS stuff, and they had a ton of equipment problems, which always drives the perfectionist in Drew nuts. Maybe the banter was a bit sketchy, but not being an NYU rich kid I kind of chuckled at it and it seemed like those rich kids had a pretty damn good time themselves. P.S. – the other videos will be up in a bit, I’m uploading them now….
