Black Cab Cuties

Having trouble keeping up with British pop culture? Check this!

I just thought the concept was kind of cool. The Kooks' second song later in the film is better than the first.

In each episode of “The Black Cab Sessions,” a different indie artist gets one car ride and one unedited take to perform a song. The cab becomes a mobile stage for acoustic Dylan-esque performances. Spoon’s Britt Daniel plays a stirring version of “I Summon You” all alone; I’m definitely no fan of Baby Dee, and Daniel Johnston is a weirdo, but you don’t have to tip the driver.

Maybe we should start KC Cab Worship. One ride and one unedited take to perform a praise song.
