Happy, Beautiful Music
I love this video! I’ve already watched it five times straight. It’s an affirmation of what humanity is capable of—that we can create something simple, happy, playful, beautiful, and cool for the love of it, of creating, of doing.
Many thanks to Emily for introducing me to Lykke Li and Bon Iver. If I ever take over the world, she’s definitely my top pick for Minister of Cool.

Here is Lykke Li doing the “Take Away Show” a weird french blog thing that gets performances from artists while travel through out, mostly cities. Lykke Li actually did theirs in SF. There’s another version of her singing “Dance, Dance, Dance” and a few other songs they just do in the streets. The Take Away show has some great acoustic performances.

I really like her also, she has such a carefree spirit when she performs. There was also another video of her doing the song on Conan O’Brien where she was just dancing with the music. It wasnt like some sort of pre arranged dance rountine. She was just moving to the music. It was very nice. Shame NBC removed the clip from youtube.
She is coming to SF on Nov. 1st to the Independent:

The Take Away Show is a new discovery for me, but I really dig it. It’s music and moments stripped of all the gloss. And some great storytelling too. Thanks for the links!
Are you going to the show at the Independent?
