Do Me A Favor

If you do anything today it will be that you will visit Take Away Shots.

Just do me that favor. I don't ask much.

This is seriously awesome. It is a French video blog that shoots improvised sessions with bands (such as Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, Architecture and Helsinki, The Shins, Final Fantasy, Beirut, and many others) in random settings around the world. Watch Architecture and Helsinki prepare a live chorus of random fans/people. That kind of social energy and creativity makes me love living...and people...and things.

Whoever thought this up, I envy.

I must admit, a silly little 'ole dream of mine is to start impromptu choirs on the street, or dance troupes. I love that kind of stuff. Anyone else up for it? If Roadtrip Nation has taught me anything, I really need to just do it. And I need to just create a kickball league as well. And learn the piano...and learn to DJ...and so on and so on and so on.....

Here is a taste, this one is awesome, it is the Arcade Fire playing Neon Bible in an elevator:

You should join Improv Everywhere! I heard about it on our favourite radio show a while ago (also on the tv show too I guess). I think this new one is my favorite: MP3 Experiment Four
