Vincent Moon, the genius behind Blogotheque, has teamed up with band The National to release a one hour documentary called A Skin, A Night, which covers the creation of their latest album Boxer.

Check out the preview:

Wideo Wonders (2 of 3): La Blogotheque - Les Concerts A Emporter

I've talked about and referenced Blogotheque before, but I thought I would do it in a more formal, straightforward post.

I don't know much about this group, because pretty much all of their site is in French. And I don't speak French. Fact.

But what I do know is that it is headed up by a guy named Vincent Moon, and he makes some remarkably inspiring videos featuring great musicians.

The first Blogotheque video I ever saw was of Sufjan Stevens:

The second, featured the band Arcade Fire:

#41 - Arcade Fire - Neon Bible & Wake Up

Then, Andrew Bird:

#45.3 - Andrew Bird - Spare-Oh

Then I was hooked.

He puts up around a video a week, so it's worth checking in pretty frequently.

Here's one of his most recent, featuring the band Bowerbirds:

#90.1 - BOWERBIRDS - Bur Oak

P.S. If you go to the Blogotheque website you can download all the videos in either iPod or full quality... for free!! What an amazing service.

Grey Haven: Watch the Grass Grow #1

This weekend I helped Grey Haven create it's first of many video projects, entitled "Watch the Grass Grow." The idea was inspired by the amazingly-amazing Vincent Moon and his Take Away Shows (which I will be blogging about in the coming week).

The idea: Take a musician (or group of musicians), place them in an interesting environment, and film them playing a song.

Check it out and tell me what you think!
