Recently I’ve been incessantly listening to Yeasayer’s hit from last year 2080 (i’m late to the party, as usual). La Blogotheque’s Take Away Show idea is rad and i’ve linked them before. They’ve got a new episode up with Yeasayer performing 2080 and I have to say I almost like it better then the original. Stripped down to acapella vocals, piano, spontaneous choir and banging and clapping makes the song even cooler then it was before.
Update: I ripped the song to mp3 so I could bump it on the regular. I hope the Yeasayer kids (and Blogotheque) don’t mind, it seems to be within their politics and general vibe to be cool with this. Download it here.
Live, super grainy, shaky, bad audio, unedited concert footage taken on a little Canon point-n-shoot, from The Whitest Boy Alive playing “Don’t Give Up” at F.Bolke (bar / art gallery / concert venue) in Guadalajara on Nov.10th, 2007. back story here.
Blogothèque is a french blog with a show called “les concerts à emporter!” (The Take Away Show) an interesting concept: Take a really influential and cutting edge musician or group and film them playing their songs live in odd places. Here is José Gonzalez performing 3 songs from his intensely wicked brand new album In Our Nature. great songs and videos too, very appropriate for his music. Other bands featured: Beirut, The Shins, Tapes N Tapes, Andrew Bird and many more. I gotta get up on some new music. [via PF]
