live music videos seem to be pleasing and inspiring everyone these days; those french inspired take-away shows from blogotheque.net have been amongst the most fantastic captures of modern musicians i can think of.
here are a small selection of some favourites.
bon iver
i came across him when my relationship was falling apart. seams popping silently. its sad beauty, those golden harmonies, his soul baring fragility brought me some comfort, and,down the line, became a big influence on me.
priscilla ahn
beautiful. everything is beautiful about her; her music, her voice, this song. In that slight breeze and late sunshine, she even makes L.A look lovely.
sigur ros
a rather sweet acoustic session compared to their grandious sonic shows.

my brightest diamond
she reminds me of classical singers, with that sweetest of old style voices, of old towns with oak shutters and cobbled streets and sunday markets with a dust that never settles, that gentle music box chiming sweetly out a high window you can't see in.
margot & the nuclear so and so's
i do love this song, even at the time it became so apparent, even now in the after. i wonder how many people stumble through relationships with that void.

low (alan sparhawk)
there is such soft determination here, a hint of vitriol that these quiet pretty streets dapple and contain but can't hide, like the best of low's music.
