One of my dreams is on my next trip to LA (first as an adult) to visit the famous club Largo, where Jon Brion (composer for P.T. Anderson's Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love) regularly performs and randomly invites friends onstage to sing impromptu with a live band. Throwback Sundays this week is for music lovers and features one of my favorite Youtube videos of all time, a live, improv performance from the great Fiona Apple with Jon and several great band members including Nickel Creek members Chris Thile and Sara Watkins, doing a kick-ass, fun and sweet cover of "Tonight You Belong To Me." Here is a cool post from the Playlist blog:
"Hey, remember composer/musician Jon Brion's excellent club in L.A. called Largo? Well, the club and it's colorful cast of musician friends and artists that routinely stop by to perform are starring in a performance film about the hipster locale creatively titled, "Largo."
Rumored at one time to be produced by alumni Paul Thomas Anderson and directed by Largo club owner Mark Flanagan and filmmaker Andrew van Baal the film features performances by Jon Brion-extended family players Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann, my beawd huwts comedian Zach Galifianakis, John C. Reilly, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, Colin Hay, comedians Patton Oswalt, Flight of the Concords and Sarah Silverman, Grant Lee Phillips, Sara Watkins, David Garza, Tom Brosseau, Bic Runga and many, many more.
Did they ever film that Elliott Smith performance - the audio tracks of which are appearing in the new Autumn DeWilde Elliott Smith book?"
