The Rabbit Hole of the Liste des Concerts à emporter

I’m sorry to do this for you, but with the return of al fresco dining comes the return of take away shows over at La Blogotheque. If you have enjoyed any indie rock at all in the last ten years or so, you will be instantly in love with these unusual location song videos by all your favorite musicians.

Milk Carton Kids

Feeling a little melancholy today, and the Milk Carton Kids Tiny Desk Concert from NPR is just what the doctor ordered. These guys are a little nerdy-looking, but they’re subtle, sweet, and wistful- just perfect for waving goodbye to winter.

Fun fact: there are two albums for free on their website, so go over and listen to them!

And oh, what wonders were contained within. You’ve got John Goodman singing karaoke, you’ve got a lot of broken fourth wall, you’ve got a half-joke about how weird and wonderful Texas is, and a lot of bizarre filler, all set to an amazing soundtrack.

The look is pretty 80s, but the liberal use of colors and weird shapes can be easily updated- check it out after the jump.

Father John Misty- Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings

This is creepy, right? It came up on my shuffle this morning while I was at the gym (definitely the jog-killer you’re imagining), and I wanted to make sure the video was as weird as I remembered.

It. Is.
