_A FEW YEARS BACK, WHEN I WAS STILL LIVING IN MONTREAL, A FRIEND OF MINE MENTIONED THAT I HAD TO CHECK OUT THIS NEW BLOG THAT JUST CAME OUT AT THE TIME. LA BLOGOTHEQUE (WWW.BLOGOTHEQUE.NET) IS A WEBLOG THAT CONTAINS A PLETHORA OF ARCHIVED VIDEO FOOTAGE SHOT BY FRENCH FILMMAKER VINCENT MOON. THE VIDEOS ARE VERY WELL CRAFTED AND PRODUCED WHICH MAKES THEM MORE THAN A SAVVY TAKE ON AN ACOUSTIC. THE ARCHIVE OF VIDEOS NEVER ENDS AND YOU CAN EASILY SPEND HOURS CHECKING OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF YOUR FAVOURITE BANDS. PARTICULARLY, A SERIES CALLED “SOIREE DE POCHE” (WHICH MEANS NIGHTS IN YOUR POCKET) & “CONCERTS A EMPORTER” OR TAKE AWAY SHOWS ARE ONES TO WATCH AS THE TWO SERIES COMBINE FOR OVER 350 VIDEOS OF BANDS. SOMETIMES SHOT IN A MATE’S LIVING ROOM SOMETIME SHOT IN A SUBWAY STATION EACH VIDEO IS UNIQUE NOT ONLY IN ITS SETTING BUT ALSO UNIQUE TO THE BAND ITSELF. SOME OF MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITES ARE MONTREAL ORIGINALS BEIRUT.
