working at YWAM, we often take time to share our favorite websites with each other. most of them are likely funny: you tube finds, whatwhitepeoplelike.com, "myparentswereawesome" etc. a few of us share some of ourfavorite music sites, some of mine being hypemachine and daytrotter. Hats off to Darren for showing me "take away shows". Take Away Shows is run by la blogotheque and takes beautiful mostly acoustic videos of some amazing bands somewhere around paris. check out a few of them below...
the first is a video by sigur ros in a parisian cafe. i love the simple beauty of it and how it seems that the daily happenings of the cafe is still going on around them
Sigur Ros - Við spilum endalaust - A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
the next is a video by sun giant/blue ridge mountain by fleet foxes. it starts with them in a park and then heading to a warehouse, complete with glockeshpiel (sp?) and cleverly added choir of spinning vocalists

Anyone who has known me for any amount of time or who has talked to me about music for even a few minutes knows that a favorite band of mine for some time has been Bon Iver ( french for "a good winter")La Blogotheque filmed two take away shows by Bon Iver with at least song each. Honestly, check them all out. Justin Vernon's voice is pure beauty and that is only exemplified with well filmed videos. Below is Flume... probably one of my favorites of this session
#93.1 - BON IVER - Lump Sum

the next is The Penalty by Beirut. Once watching this video i felt like this is always how this band is to be experienced.
