Best of Le Choix 2010 : mes articles préférés J'ai eu envie de me faire plaisir et de retourner quelques instants en 2010 en parcourant les archives du site pour vous faire une petite sélection de mes articles préférés. Ce ne sont pas forcément les meilleurs, ni les plus visités, ce sont juste ceux que je préfère, pour une raison ou une autre. Il y en une grosse vingtaine, classés par catégorie. Je n'ai pas mis de foreplays ou vidéos, d'abord parce que les mp3s ne sont plus disponibles après une certaine [...]
Premier article d'une série qui je l'espère sera longue sur les nouveaux acteurs de web qui se démènent comme des tarés pour vous offrir un service de qualité axé sur la musique. Ce sont tous des passionné(e)s de musique qui ne comptent pas leurs heures, persuadés qu'Internet n'est pas l'ennemi de la création musicale, contrairement à ce que semblent vouloir faire entrer dans la tête du peuple les défenseurs d'Hadopi. Le choix de Grandcrew.com n'est pas anodin, je suis en contact avec eux depuis longtemps, je vous ai déjà proposé ici-même plusieurs de leurs réalisations, en vantant à chaque fois [...]

Grandcrew uploaded an October performance a 2009 concert video of The Mountain Goats @ Point Ephémère - Paris, France. Grandcrew's review: John Darnielle is The Mountain Goats single-handedly and this guy is amazing for many reasons: his music is peaceful and cool, a perfect folk; his incredible songwriting always blows us away, putting the fans on trans at each chord played, check the final song..the girl touching the guitar... epic moment ! see also yesterday's NPR Tiny Desk Concert [...]

Bigger than ever, Brother Ali's distinctive tone and powerful delivery commands the attention of listeners. Having easily taken the indie hip-hop scene by storm, it seems the rest of the world has taken notice as well. The Midwest hip-hop hero is running on freight train like momentum after his newest release US , and so far it seems he has no sign of stopping. Check out Brother Ali live in Paris for GrandCrew.com
Last month, I came across this article at the BBC's website. It's about the life cycle of fashion trends, with a specific focus on the shoulder pad, which is apparently starting to show signs of coming back into style. To which I say: oh no - nononononono. I know that we can't help but bring every old fad back in style, but can't we skip this one? Let's close the book on all this goddamn obnoxious 80's nostalgia and gird ourselves for the grunge revival . Please? What caused [...]
Beach House spent the Fall touring with indie sensations Grizzly Bear . Check out their performance in Paris from August. Beach House - Heart of Chambers
A few months back Grandcrew caught Beach House in concert at Nouveau Casino in Paris when they opened for Vetiver. Here's are a few songs from the show. By the way, in case you missed it singer Victoria Legrand joined Grizzly Bear onstage last weekend during their ACL aftershow to perform the new song "Slow Life" from the new Twilight soundtrack ( watch our video here ).
The Grandcrew kids caught up w/Beach House opening up for Vetiver in August. There's a lot of hullabaloo right now with Beach House due to their collaboration with Grizzly Bear for the Twilight Soundtrack that looks like one of those Now That's What I Call Music compilations. Beach House-Wedding Bell [mp3] Ultra8201 caught up with the two during the collaboration this past weekend @ Emo's [...]
September 09 2009: Grandcrew shares footage from De La 's most recent appearance At Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris, France.
Here is a great, full concert by Alela Diane , who has apparently cut her hair since the last time I posted a video of hers . It comes - once again - courtesy of the fine folks at Grandcrew.com . Two things I learned from this video: (1) the other guitar player is her dad, which is pretty cool, and (2) the bass player seems to think that he's playing for a jam band, which is considerably less cool. Enjoy: This is my third Grandcrew-related posting [...]
Another Wednesday, another nice video in my inbox courtesy of the fine folks at Grandcrew.com . This one features Andrew Bird , who does not shave for web-based video performances. As with last week's Camera Obscura video , this performance is recorded at the Route du Rock festival in Saint-Malo, France. It features two songs - don't know the name of the first one, but the second one is "Anonimanialonimalonaoanimalno nnnonshaboopshaboop". This guy and his song titles, eh? Le clip: Also like last week, here's a [...]
Andrew Bird Tweet this video ___ Share on Facebook ___ Bookmark on delicious Il sifflote très bien Andrew Bird . Vous m'direz, avec un nom pareil... Ci-dessus se trouve une session acoustique filmée par l'équipe de Grandcrew en marge du festival La Route du Rock.

Here's an acoustic session from Camera Obscura recorded at the Route du Rock festival in Saint-Malo, France. It found its way into my inbox courtesy of Grandcrew.com , who have several other fine videos on their site. It's rare for me to immediately post something that gets sent to me via email, but this one was too good to pass up. And - for no other reason other than me wanting to hear more Camera Obscura without their usual cavernous reverb - here's their acoustic take on ABBA's "Super [...]
