My friend Muireann introduced me to the glorious blog that is La Blogotheque.
Just in case the name didn't give it away, La Blogotheque is a French blog that has managed to come up with the wonderful concept that is the Take-Away shows.
The idea of the Take-Away shows is to get bands, normally with some indie flair, to perform an intimate show in people's gafs, warehouses, street corners, impromptu parties and so on.
Since 2008, they've had the likes of The Spinto Band, Yeasayer, Grizzly Bear, The Divine Comedy, Dirty Projectors and Menomena on board.
One of the bands that they roped in was Margot and The Nuclear So and So's. Hailing from Indiana, they are one of those bands that you can play to woo somebody into your lair of feather ticklers or to play to remind yourself how good music can be.
They released two albums in 2008, Animal!, a selection of their favourite songs, and Not Animal, a selection of their record label's favourite songs.
Here's their performance of 'German Motor Car', taken from Animal! at a Take-Away gathering in San Francisco.
