Video Goldmine: Nigel Godrich’s “From the Basement” Video Archive

Remember Radiohead’s “From the Basement” videos? It turns out those weren’t the only videos being captured by Nigel Godrich and crew. I’m not sure exactly when this new site launched, but FromtheBasement.tv is now a virtual treasure trove of amazing live (in studio) performances by a veritable who’s who of amazing contemporary bands and artists.

Fleet Foxes are following up a fantastic spring tour with Blitzen Trapper with dates scheduled across the country, including some festivals like Sasquatch and Lollapalooza.

Video: Blitzen Trapper – “Lady On The Water” (live from Juan’s Basement)

Videos

I’m still waking up this morning and reeling in post-concert-coital bliss after last night’s Fleet Foxes and Blitzen Trapper show at the Fillmore. I’m going to write up a review right now but I wanted to share this great live video of my favorite track from last night’s show. It’s Blitzen Trapper on Pitchfork.tv doing [...]

Plus I got the link from my music blog crush (aka Carrie Brownstein’s fantastic Monitor Mix blog). Two young Swedes go into the woods and record a cover of “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” by Fleet Foxes. [...]

Fleet Foxes @ The Independent, 9/19/08

Last night’s Fleet Foxes show at The Independent was a truly magnificent affair. The opener Sleepy Sun was wildly classic and rockin’ and really gave off a good live energy. This band totally has a career ahead of itself. Next up was some old timey fella with a fiddle and a banjo who played some [...]

Tonight: Fleet Foxes @ The Independent

News

Remember when I said I was burnt out on live music? It’s still largely true and probably the main reason I’m just opting to skip the Treasure Island Music Festival this weekend, but there are some seriously good late-night shows that I just couldn’t pass up. And thanks to my new friends at betterPropaganda I’ve [...]
