Sorry if this has already been posted (I looked and didn't see it). This was posted on pitchfork.
Whether you look at it as a profound meditation on impermanence or just a collection of sweet, unique live performances, the Burn to Shine series is a pretty wonderful thing. Conceived by filmmaker/director Christoph Green and producer/Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty as a means of visually documenting the sound of a city's scene in a space slated for demolition, Burn to Shine sprung to life with the 2005 release of its inaugural DVD, set in DC.
Death Cabbie/Postal Servant Ben Gibbard continues his Pitchfork news page dominance, lining up some ace Pacific Northwest talent for the Seattle edition of Burn to Shine; technically volume five, it will likely hit shelves prior to volume four, Louisville. Among the Seattle highlights: Eddie Vedder solo performing "Can't Keep" (from Pearl Jam's Riot Act LP),ex-Pedro the Lion principal David Bazan, math-poppers Minus the Bear, Gibbard's former Barsuk labelmates the Long Winters, Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter, and Harvey Danger, Sub Pop post-rockers Kinski, and Gibbard himself, here tackling "Broken Yoke in Western Sky".
Like previous installments, Burn to Shine four and five will culminate with footage of the performance space undergoing demolition.
Neither DVD has a definite release date yet, and Louisville's tracklist is not yet finalized, so keep your browsers tuned to Burn to Shine's Trixie DVD website and MySpace for details. Check out more of Jim Saah's photos ahead. [MORE... on pitchfork]
