This morning I discovered an amazing wealth of music and awesomeness in the form of The Take-Away Shows by the French blog La Blogothèque. Basically, every week they shoot a live session with a band/artist in an unusual urban setting and post it — completely unedited, fully improvised, and utterly wonderful.

Yes. I realize that I’ve been posting a lot of videos, but it’s Valentines day, and it’s live music (which is always amazing), and it’s the Guillemots, so I’m allowed. Everyone should randomly rock out on the streets with full out musical ensembles like this — it’s such a lovely concept. (I especially love how the random guy walks through them all completely unfazed, and how the drummer keeps the beat with the metal railing.)

You can find the studio version of Made Up Love Song No.43 here.

Happy Valentine’s Day and all that nice stuff!
