La Blogotheque is a French website that showcases hundreds of great indie musicians. These artists do what La Blogotheque calls concert a emporter or, alternatively, a "take away show". Meaning that, instead of having the usual concert up on stage, these artists roam around the cities and play in the streets, in restaurants, in apartment flats, or just anywhere. This ingenious idea is the brainchild of Vincent Moon, who wanted to give concerts an entirely new way.
The podcasts are absolutely amazing. Musicians that were really just faces with music attached before suddenly seem real when you watch these. The rawness of the videos, minus the small bit of editing that polishes them off, helps you see the musicians more as the people they really are. It's fascinating to watch. The podcasts include some of my favorite artists, such as The Shins, Beirut, Vampire Weekend, Andrew Bird, Sufjan Stevens and many more awesome bands. If you like indie music, this is definitely the site for you.
