So this French site La Blogotheque (Link below. Helps if you speak French) (I'd tell you more about it but I don't speak French). Thing is, they have these awesome mini-concerts by indie-pop stars of the minute. The shows are tiny and intimate and usually in a very strange location. I posted earlier about Vampire Weekend's Mansard Roof (recorded in the back of a van). Other awesome videos include St. Vincent- Marry Me (lying on a bed) and Arcade Fire- Neon Bible (in a freight elevator. Ripping paper provides the percussion). So damn if these shows aren't awesome. Don't miss them.

Description from the site:
"About Takeawayshow.com
You meet a band. You take them outside, in the streets, and ask them to play there, shoot the movie in one unique shot, whatever happens. Those are the Take-Away Shows, the weekly Video podcast from french weblog La Blogothèque.
The Take Away Shows are a Video Podcast produced by the french weblog La Blogothèque. Every week, we give away a session, shot with a band, in an unusual, urban environment.
Sessions are always filmed as a unique shot, without any cut, recorded live. We usually haven’t much time to record them, so the groups have to be spontaneous, to improvise, play with what they have with them, and with their environment, whether there’s a public or not.
The Take Away Shows are produced by La Blogothèque, based on an original idea by Chryde and Vincent Moon. They are directed by Vincent Moon, and supported by Kidam, who lends us the cameras and shot some of the sessions.
Our partner for the english version is the wonderful american site Daytrotter, who gives away twice week incredible audio sessions from the bands they love. Go and check their site !"
