Cake frontman John McCrea is one of the many artists railing against
streaming services like Spotify and the way they only pay a pittance in
royalties to artists. He’s put together a nonprofit called Content Creators Coalition,
and last night, David Byrne headlined a CCC concert at New York’s Le
Poisson Rouge; it also featured McRea, R.E.M.’s Mike Mills, Tift
Merritt, and a few others. I have no idea how this led to Byrne doing an
incredibly still and joyous cover of Biz Markie’s eternally wonderful
atonal yawp “Just A Friend,”
but that’s what happened. Byrne read the lyrics from a piece of paper
but only lost the cadence once, and you can watch the miraculous
fan-made video.
