Boom dadadadadada boom dada dada!

A friend of mine just reminded me of this French blog I used to read religiously. They have a section called the Take Away Shows which I'll let them explain:

"Every week, we invite an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, and we film the whole session. Of course, what makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectingly. Besides, we do not edit the videos so they look perfectly flawless, instead we keep the raw sound of the surroundings. Our goal is to try and capture instants, film the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks. Spontaneity is the keyword."

Here are a couple of my favorites...






Architecture in Helsinki's is a bit scattered, but still a-dor-a-ble. Check it out, I'm sure you'll find some of your favorites, too!
