The Take-Away Shows

Kazuki Tomokawa – A Take Away Show #98 – Part 3 from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
It’s hard to think of a better accompaniment to Kazuki Tomokawa than that boxer barking in the background. I ran into The Take-Away Shows today on Vimeo while posting my christmas present home videos. Vimeo posted their 25 favorite videos of the year. One of them was a Sigur Ros video from the Take-Away Shows which lead me to the excellent Take-Away Shows Vimeo channel. I then moved onto the huge archive of The Take-Away Shows at La Blogothèque.
I’ve only just begun to delve into them, but that archive and the vimeo channel are full of fine things.
Update, favorites so far:
- Beirut doing Nantes amongst the garbage cans.
- Department of Eagles in NYC.
- Elvis Perkins in Paris.
- John Vanderslice doing White Dove (third video) on a serene soccer field in Seattle, a strange place to hear that song.
