Early last month, NPR Music teamed up with pitchfork.tv to create a partnership of some probably pretty smart music offerings. In doing so, they got off to an inspiring start by opening with a concert by Antony and the Johnsons. With a heftychunk of their European tour sold out, this delicate band is becoming quite the big deal. A & The J has been on the buzz side of things lately with a profile in next month’s Advocate, NPR’s All Songs Considered podcast, brilliant soundtrack covers or having a boyfriend hear them and then buy their CD and then rave about them (ahem).
Bob Boilen, host of NPR’s All Songs Considered, wrote about his experience last week here and then directed us to the audio version of the show, the concert and a video. The thing is, we can’t seem to find the video. Pitchfork.tv doesn’t come up with anything for A & T J and clicking on the video from Boilen’s page only gives us an error. While it looks like we may miss out on our new favorite transgendered-led band, at the very least give both the concert and Boilen’s interview a listen via the NPR site or the iTunes podcast subscription. And it may not be as hip as Pitchfork but check them out on their network debut on Letterman below.
