There's a new trend in music videos - one that can be traced back to the French site La Blogotheque and their "Take-Away Shows" - and it's brilliant. Bands play live songs with acoustic instruments in unusual settings (Arcade Fire in an elevator! Quasi at a dog run!), often while walking through a landscape or neighborhood. The results can be transformative, a peek behind the curtain. In all cases one is afforded a close-up of the band's dynamic, and almost always a deeper appreciation of their music is the result. Two of my favorite examples:
Tallest Man on Earth
Delafe y Flores Azules
