I’ve always dug Cat Power’s “Nude As The News,” which appeared on the artist’s 1996 album, What Would The Community Think. This past weekend at the BasilicaSoundScape Festival in Hudson, New York, Sky Ferreira and DIIV performed a killer version of the song. Thanks to Pitchfork for hipping me to this. Photographer Ryan McGinley was there and he shot a cell phone video of part of the performance. It’s cool.

Here’s Cat Power’s video of the song:
