Imagine standing on a cramped Tube train on your way in to work. That slightly peculiar soap-dodger in the corner is brandishing his knackered guitar, threatening to break the dull hum of the rat-race with a shrieking redition of "The One and Only". And then he starts. And now you're trapped in an atonal hell. Now imagine that the guy in the corner actually knows what he's doing. And that there's a cameraman in the carriage with him.
La Blogotheque's Take-Away Shows are wonderful alternative music videos captured by a chap called Vincent Moon, a video producer from Paris. In essence they find a band (you may have heard of them, you may not), find an interesting urban environment, the band starts playing and La Blogotheque start filming. It's all done in one take with no editing and no rehearsals which gives each video such a unique resonance, a special moment in time never to be repeated.
The Shins, Guillemots, The Divine Comedy, Arcade Fire and The Kooks, above, have all had a crack but there are so many more interesting acts to discover at La Blogotheque. Just don't tell too many people otherwise McFly will want to do one.
