#40.4 - THE NATIONAL -Ada
Uploaded by lablogotheque

With news The National will be hitting our shores in January around the Big Day Out (expect them to be added to the lineup) and playing sideshows (got my tickets!), it’s time to get giddy. One filmmaker who will no doubt fuel the fire for musical delight is Vincent Moon. The french maestro has made over 50 mini-documentaries (or ‘Take Away Shows’) placing musicians such as The Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, José Gonzaléz, The Shins, Okkervil River and many others into various interesting locations. The uniqueness of it all is quite refreshing and some of the performances are well worth a download. He posts the videos on takeawayshows.com in various high res formats. Great stuff!

And speaking of great stuff, the rumoured BDO lineup is looking pretty tasty this year. Sean states that Bjork, Rage Against the Machine (the Melbourne sideshow sold out in 2 freakin minutes!), Interpol, Queens of the Stone Age, and LCD Soundsystem are some of the acts but if you add The National AND The Arcade Fire into the mix, it could be one of the best BDO’s in years. The official BDO lineup is announced October 2 so make sure you check the official website.
