La Blogotheque Take-Away Shows: Greatest Find in Recent Memory

Published on January 20, 2009 in Inspired, Music and Videos. 2 Comments

La Blogotheque is a french music blog. Don’t know much else about it because Google sucks at translating. The one part of the site that is offered in english, however, is the collection of video podcasts called the Take-Away Shows. Every week since 2006, the Take-Away Show producers have invited artists and bands to play in random public surroundings. The resulting product is spontaeous, beautiful, and awesome.

I haven’t been able to watch them all, but some of my favorites are the kooks, vampire weekend, and jason mraz (for the ladies). Finally, firstly, you must check out Priscilla Ahn because she is nuts good.

Nike: Lots of Ads!

Nike’s been churning out the promotional materials these past two days. Some good, some interesting, some not so good. Guess Nike is still coasting on its advertising budget. Above is “Ankle Insurance” for Kobe’s new low-tops.

Nike GameChangers, the brand’s newest corporate responsibility effort, churned out a bunch of videos that you can see here, here, and here. But they probably won’t work a week from now.

Nike Latin America has a new futbol ad with a bit too much slapping and incoherence: Wake Up Call.

Don’t forget that little Nike subdivision, Air Jordan either. Click for the Air Jordan 2009 movie teaser.

Lastly, is this viral ad with Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen escaping paparazzi.
