Monday=Music: I could do this, right?

So I've come across a few sites where people are filming musicians playing in everyday public places and I'm in love with the concept.

Concerts a Emporter



I think this site is the best of the bunch. They are done as part of a French music blog and a lot of them are filmed by Vincent Moon, who seems to be pretty cool. The ones of Andrew Bird are of course my favorites, but I've been awed by every single one I've watched. It will take some time to get through them all, but other highlights are Fleet Foxes and Tunng.

Shoot the Player


Beach House: Used to Be from shoottheplayer on Vimeo.

It was difficult not to put up their Andrew Bird as well, but I restrained myself. I'm excited about Beach House, though, because this video is gorgeous, they're from Baltimore and guitarist Alex Scally is an '04 Obie (I took his Bob Dylan exco). These are mostly shot in Sydney.

They Shoot Music Don't They



I love the way this is shot, but the quality is so much better on the actual site than on youtube, so you should watch it there. I also highly recommend I'm From Barcelona. These are all shot in Vienna.

Handheld Shows

These are filmed in Oslo. Cool. Also check out the Black Lips. The mustachioed guy's hat reminds me of Carolyn in Peru.
