Yesterday I had the good fortune of stumbling into the wonderful world of La Blogotheque. My French isn’t so good, but those skills aren’t needed to enjoy the blog or the mini-concerts they are staging with excellent artists.
Here’s how the folks behind the site describe their “Les Concerts a Emporter”:
Every week, we invite an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, and we film the whole session. Of course, what makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectingly. Besides, we do not edit the videos so they look perfectly flawless, instead we keep the raw sound of the surroundings. Our goal is to try and capture instants, film the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks. Spontaneity is the keyword.
So when you get a chance, click your way over to the site and enjoy some live tunes by Fleet Foxes, REM, Vic Chesnutt, and many others.
And if you took six years of the Francais and actually retained some of the language, then you can read this post about Lady in Satin era Billie.
