Check out The Tallest Man on Earth over on NPR’s All Songs Considered and they just might strike up a ditty…

A Take Away Show

hammy — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 15:12:46 +0000

I’ve just discovered something wonderful! They’re a series of video podcasts by La Blogotheque.

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.

Here are some of my all time favorite bands right now and, guess what!?? They all have mini concerts on La Blogotheque! Check them out or go peruse for YOUR favorite bands too! (Bonus, they have some great little stories about how each video was shot… what some of the hang-ups or great moments were and other little tidbits so it’s definitely worth jogging over to the actual site)

Is a sweet bit of whimsy that I found over at Poppytalk.

Mountain Man

I found a lovely little interview with the band Mountain Man over on NPR today. Their voices are so wonderful and light that I can’t help but smile while I listen…

Our friend and fellow RA here in Craftsbury, Chris Dorman, is a pretty wonderful musician. He just posted a nice video about a song he learned from his son, Henry who makes me giggle every time we cross paths.

You can get a free download of my favorite song of his, Family Farm, and listen to more music here.

Wood Burned Adventure Music

Oh where do I start with this music video?! I love how they’ve done the eyes, how the horse licks everything and the fact that it’s all wood burned… oh I love creative music videos…

Want to watch a mind-bendingly amazing music video? Check out “Pursuit of Happiness” by King Cudi… It’s been a while since I’ve seen something this beautiful and unexpected.

Bowerbirds

The Bowerbirds have put out an absolutely amazing stop-motion music video for their song “In Our Talons”. The video and song have a common, strong message that sank right into my heart. Thank you for sharing the video Brian!
