As we’ve written ad naseum, TV On The Radio’s frontman, Tunde Adebimpe sings Neil Young’s classic, “Unknown Legend,” acapella in Jonathan Demme’s “Rachel Getting Married,” which came out in limited release last weekend.
We posted the soundtrack details earlier this week, but people keep asking us, “do you have the song?” Well, yes we do. You can hear it below. We like to share and think the Internet should do the same so it’s embeddable, but throw us a link and use good blogg-iquette if you use it. Oh and note, there’s a rhythm going on here that sounds like Adebimpe just tapping on his knee or something. It’s minor thing, but it’s not like that in the film and we find it a little distracting. There’s something about the free-floating nature of it that’s better; it was one of our favorite moments in ‘Getting Married,’ a movie we didn’t entirely love.
We gotta say, a lot of new music doesn’t impress us much these days, but TV On The Radio’s new album Dear Science is probably the best record these guys have put out. We generally thought they were hit and miss in the past despite the hype (Ok, Cookie Mountain has some decent stuff).
