French esthetics
Sometimes I think blogging is utter an farce to the point it's bullshit from a self expressing "look how awesome I am" point of view. It's the same kinda pretention found to turn off most people to art. In know way am I aligning blogging with art, but only in a self-grandizing way. I try hard to fight this, but I'm like all the rest. Instead, I'd just prefer to laugh at myself and my rediculousness.
Not what I typically want to say, but needed to be said.
There in lies the digression. Nevertheless, I am fond of certain music videos by La blogotheque. The cinematic style is attributed to French New Wave, a la Goddard. Like his films, these are purely simplistic, evocative often dark(er) imagery and visceral no-nothing vignettes. The videos are described as "No preparation is taken and each week, a film session with an artist or group invited to play in the city, a bar, the street, a park, an apartment, with the passage of incidents, hesitations, those moments of madness takes place." It compels me and wanted to share when sharing is good! Love the French. See photos here.
Have a look at concerts a emporter, here and the rest of the films available. I love music recommendations.
