out shooting bands

So I’m going through some of the spin-offs from a Last.fm associative listening session and I see the Bowerbirds Bur Oak video shot in a candy store and I’m very impressed (other vids of Bowerbirds are super well produced, someone has a video-nerd friend). 

So as I’m going through the next band, Delta Spirit on YouTube and they have a song filmed on the Powell Street CableCar by this same video production crew. 

I like the style. It’s what I imagine I’d do. So now I’m on the Take Away Shows website looking around and they’ve got an Iron and Wine song I’ve never heard, plus they have the Antlers performing, which was kinda surreal. I’m telling you, as the camera panned over the doll parts and I heard that Hospice music I was like, “Do I want to know what this guy looks like? Do I want them to become a regular band?” I mean, Hospice is probably the most agressive and private music I’ve heard since “in the aeroplane over the sea” and it’s freaking scary. 

Anynow, I could go on, because there’s Vic Chesutt and Fleet Foxes and well, this isn’t a music blog. Just watch out for the pre-roll ads, since they can be jarring.
