It's like an all-ages show that doesn't suck.

I've been a fan of this little site for a few years, as it's served up some of the best live performances I've seen recorded, but just in case any of you out there haven't been privy to La Blogotheque, check it out, especially the Take Away Shows. Some that I've especially enjoyed are (in order of age):
  • Okkerville River
  • Au Revoir Simone
  • I'm From Barcelona
  • The National
  • Arcade Fire
  • Andrew Bird
  • Beirut - This made me a huge fan.
  • St. Vincent
  • Handsome Furs
  • Jens Lekman
  • Animal Collective
  • Bon Iver - Amazing set.
  • Man Man
  • Lykke Li and El Perro Del Mar
  • Seasick Steve - This one is spectacular.
  • Tom Jones - Not the best one on there, but very well done. Tom's not exactly my style, but he still rocks.

That'll get ya the whole site. But the second link I posted, the Take Away Shows one, is actually in English. But seeing as how you're one of those silly spanish people, here:
