a golden musical nugget; from me to you ...

so lately i think we are becoming pretty good friends. i like this new relationship, and as a token of my affection i wanted to share something close to me ... im kidding. this isnt a relationship. this is a total one way street, and i just wanted to share a cool website for all you musically inclined folks that stop by here.

in case you havent stumbled upon this before, la blogotheque is a parisian based music blog that is choc full of amazing videos of amazing act making amazing music. the first thing you will notice is that the site is in french (i did say it was a parisian based site ... google chrome will do a somewhat kind of not really all that accurate of a translation for you), so let me steer you safely away from their socialism and towards the music. there are 2 places in particular on this site where the choice music videos reside; concert a emporter (take away shows) and soirees de poche (nights in the pouch ... is that right greg???). i love the content on this site because in my eyes its a perfect demonstration and representation of the modern form of artistic expression. check it out.

The take away section is here. if you are too lazy to go to the site, or mistrusting of of french compatriots then i suggest the wilco, phoenix (kicks beaucoup ass), sigur ros (amazing), seasick steve (if you like the blues/troubadour thing), and my personal favorite beruit.

The soirees section is here. soirees are longer, more in depth, and typically more stripped down. for an example of these i have their latest release below.
