Lots of DJs are known for digging through record bins, but our friends over at self-titled spend a lot of time digging through YouTube looking for vintage clips for our nostalgic entertainment. They just dug up this 1997 interview with DJ Shadow and Grand Master Flash that aired around the same time as Endtroducing.

So this is an odd item swirling around the Internet. Over the weekend, we spotted the oddly over-funded video for LCD Soundsystem’s “Pow Pow,” staring Anna Kendricks as well as the W Hotel in Hollywood (seriously, it’s a product placement nightmare). Out of deference to James Murphy and Co., we decided to leave the clip alone, rather than falsely endorse it, or dog it outright. If you have nothing nice to say…
