13 Most Beautiful...

On Saturday evening I went with the usual suspects to Mass MoCA, where Dean & Britta (formerly of Luna) performed their “13 Most Beautiful… songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests.” The show was pretty packed, and looking at their website now I realize we were actually kind of lucky because it looks like they aren't really performing this again until June (unless it's taking place at other museums and isn't posted on their site). Warhol's screen tests and D&B's music were good together; they would each have been less interesting on their own. The screen tests were pretty heavy, very intimate, and were a little depressing in light of the fact that a number of these people died from drug-related accidents or took their own lives. As far as assessing Dean & Britta, I felt that Dean was in charge, and I preferred Britta or the two of them singing together. The music sounded pretty much like what I know by Luna. It was cool, but I was not sad when it was time to leave and get a drink.
