Living it up when I’m going down

In Internets TV The Funk
In my Internet wanderings, I came across a little online TV show from the Netherlands called (Behind) Closed Doors. It’s from a network called 3VOOR12 and they basically shove bands into an elevator and have them perform.
I love gimmicks/concepts like this. It creates a strange, intimate atmosphere — especially since the performance are usually acoustic.
To have a taste, here’s one of my favorite new bands, Los Campesinos! performing “Don’t Tell Me To Do The Math(s).” If their Welsh accents aren’t enough to make you love them, their giddiness and their guitar-violin-glockenspiel-toy flute set up is.
Also worthy of note — Iron and Wine (aka Sam Beam) performs stuff from his new album.
You know, this totally reminds me of the a cappella groups that would practice in the stairwell of the Campus Center next to the Flat Hat office late at night. Only none of them were Welsh.
Did you just quote Aerosmith, “Love in an Elevator” as the title?
Aesome.
