If I feel down, I can put an episode of Stewart Lee's new 'Comedy Vehicle' on the BBC IPlayer, or I can see what sparkling musical gems La Blogotheque has to offer. The answer is, many things.
Its a French site which renders the (probably great) music news pretty hard to read (unless you're well versed in the language of love). But if you can navigate well enough to get to the Concert à Emporter section, you'll be treated to a stunning collection of expertly recorded mini-concerts. Each one takes a talented artist out (or in, depending on how philosophical) of their average recording element, gives them some pots and pans or a child's keyboard, and makes them play their best songs as you've never heard before.
To this day I can't work out how they manage to record these artists so well, especially in outdoor environments. Add to this mix, some stunning cinematography and the omnipresent beauty of Paris and you have yourself an epic archive of audiovisual immensity. Enjoy dears.
