as i mentioned in a post a while back, the Blogotheque (aka "Take Away Shows") are another version of the Black Cab Sessions only that the filming usually takes place in Paris and is on the street/outdoors. They just posted up a new one featuring Bloc Party. check it out

new brit music for you
so apparently there are two new bands to keep an eye out for
both British and already media friendly (and signed if I may add), they seem to be creating some sort of buzz.
The first, the White Lies, are currently in the US touring with Glasvegas (funny cause I personally think the White Lies actually have it going rather than glasvegas..) and deliver a very brit early U2 vibe.
www.myspace.com/thewhitelies
the second band is a little more 'out there'- their instrument use and just song structures are a little more unconventional. Also their sound is a lot more electro based than the White Lies' as you can hear if you go here:
www.myspace.com/lateofthepier
thoughts anyone?

Brief weekend CMJ recap
just a little random note-
CMJ was fun although I really only got to see the Skewer/Planetary Group Showcase @Piano's on Friday afternoon which was overall good. Ludlow Street was gushing with people by the early evening and the LES was very much taken over by the usual friday night crowd and CMJ-badge-clad college radio station people and photogs/bloggers.
Missed, or rather, didn't think of going into the cake shop early enough to see Cut Off Your Hands and Takka Takka (who I REALLY wanted to see).
CMJ is weird though, seems like it's more for the people who run whatever music business is left- it's a big buffet of musicians being served on plates while college radio/journals/bloggers/record execs/managers fish around. weird
not to say this weekend was without excitement- not only did the Saturday BBQ CMJ party that was supposed to take place at The Yard get cancelled, but while on travel with the motley guys from Passion Pit there were some (serious) van problems. Oh and you have to love nyc in monsoon season (or that's what it felt like....)
Overall a good weekend, I didn't take any photos nor does it need more description- CMJ is meh

brilliant discovery///Black Cab Sessions
if you're planning on having a lazy friday night to escape the first chills of boston then def check out the Black Cab Sessions . It is along the lines of the Blogotheque Take Away shows (don't know what that is? oh my check it out at www.blogotheque.net) but it's in the back of a british black cab! must sees are Lykke Li, St. Vincent and Beach House!
unlike the blogotheque, the artists are really confined to a small environment so don't expect as much running around as what you've seen other bands do on blogotheque...
