Shows you can take away

French Director Vincent Moon has a knack for creating what he calls "the spontaneous music video" where he captures some of rock's most interesting artists performing in unexpected locales. He calls these videos "take away concerts." All of his videos can be found on YouTube or at his site, Blogotheque. Here are three of my favourites:

The Arcade Fire perform "Neon Bible" in a cramped elevator:



Grizzly Bear belt out an accapella version of "Knife" on the streets of Paris:



Sufjan Stevens performs "The Lakes of Canada" on a rooftop in Cincinnati:

Hello my friend - glad to have you back! How's Montreal? Perhaps one day we'll attain the heights of blogotheque... here's to hoping.

take care, and enjoy your stylish new digs.
