FFFFOUND!
FFFFOUND! is an image bookmarking site, or basically an open blog through which members share their favorite images of pretty much anything. Seriously, the images on this site are pretty random and fall into almost any category. I scroll through the blog every once and a while to find images that might spark an interesting drawing… but there is really no sole purpose for the site. Once you are a member and you start posting/bookmarking certain images, FFFFOUND! starts recommending images to you based on your tastes and preferences. There isn’t really much more I can say about it, except to encourage you to peruse and see if anything inspires you!

La Blogotheque- Les Concerts à Emporter
Check out this music/film project from the French music blog La Blogotheque. Since the spring of 2006, director Vincent Moon has been putting together short films of “Take Away Shows,” or semi-impromptu concerts featuring a great mix of artists. Moon explains (and I roughly translate, sorry): “Each week, we film with an artist or band that we’ve invited to play in the city, a bar, the street, a park, an apartment, and we leave in all the accidents, the hesitations, the ‘moments of madness’. Without much editing, with raw sound: to capture an instant, to film the music as it comes, without preparation, without tricks.” The videos are really beautiful, and they give us the opportunity to see and hear some of our favorite bands in unexpected ways. Most of the filming is done in Paris, but recently La Blogotheque has been traveling to other cities. For now the blog appears to favor the indie rock/folk scenes; I’ll be interested to see if they diversify as the project grows…
Anyway, I’ve posted one of my favorites from the site: Fleet Foxes playing Sun Giant and Blue Ridge Mountains. Enjoy, and check out all the other great artists on the site:
