homesick

okay these vids just made me a little more home sick. funny what home is. shar has two.

i used to walk down to fairway in red hook when i first moved to ny, so where sharon parked was easy to identify. her dropping fort green, clinton hill and bed sty made me miss all the bk summer goodness. vincent moon captures another great musical voyeuristic treasure. looking forward to winter in ny.


then there's this precious moment between andy of vetiver and eric of fruit bats. i miss how only a short drive away from sf and you are in lovely wine country. there's something about vetiver that brings me that cozy sf bay hug. i need andy and gang to cross the pond to get me out of my funk.

music vid weekend wrap-up

must make-up for lack of music vids posting: sorry friends! the lack of interweb in my flat has drastically caused me to neglect posting vids i've come across. so here are a few shar's stumbled upon that i've found to be noteworthy.



sad shar got shut out of their gig at barfly this past thursday and couldn't make their gig at rough trade the day before because of bss. wish i ran into this session. looks like it was outside victoria park. thanks mie for cluing me in.



belated discovery: patrick watson with the late, great lhasa covering elliot smith's "between the bars". another great fiume night session by vincent moon.


OMG! in my bk hood, would have loved to walk by them filming. funny saw horse feathers at union hall over a year back. hope to catch up with them at the end of the road fest.


also hope to catch the antlers at the aforementioned fest. looks like they filmed a black cab session in my new hood, N1 (that's islington non-uk friends)

phoenix and paris collide

long awaited take away show: phoenix in paris. when i heard that fellow frenchman vincent moon had videoed phoenix in their hometown, shar was intrigued to say the least. there are three vids up on la blogotheque, but i must say the last was my fav. thomas mars testing the acoustics under the eiffel tower. the rippling water. the random jogger. another magical performance captured by mr. moon.

p.s. good interview with the band on npr's weekend edition too.

fiume nights

belated discovery: fiume nights (aka vincent moon's blog). shar's been a fan of vince's for a year and then some. he interweaves all my favs into film - travel, great tunes and dogma style aesthetics in nice nuggets of art. so i stumbled upon his blog after seeing his noah and the whale piece sunday. charlie left me heartbroken and the clip below cheered me up as they take to the streets of billyburg. enjoy!

temporary areas

must site: temporary areas. vincent moon makes really great videos of indie rock kids for la blogotheque and fabulous places that he goes. i wish he would put me in his pocket. i would be happy to live there. this is one of my favs of his indie rock vids:
