When concert documentaries become art: LaBlogotheque

I'm sure this is old news to a lot of you indie heads, but lately I've really been digging LaBlogotheque, a pretty incredible French rock blog that films perhaps the most inventive concert footage around. Below are a few of my favs: Grizzly Bear strolling the streets of Paris singing an a cappella version of "Knife," Arcade Fire playing "Neon Bible" in an elevator, and - perhaps most touching of all - a video of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love," filmed from behind him and spotlighting the intimate, candlelit circle of crosslegged hippies grooving to the track like it was '67 again. There's also some great tunes from the likes of Sufjan Stevens, the Fleet Foxes, etc. Take a look here.
