Video: WFUV's "The Alternative Side" studio sessoins

Need to waste a couple hours? I suggest trolling through (NYC indie-radio) WFUV 90.7's "The Alternative Side" Youtube channel for hours of live in-house performances featuring the likes of Vetiver, YACHT, Art Brut and more. The videos feel really intimate and low-key but also do a good job of showing how alot of the music is made close ups on finger work and up close vocals. It was hard but I picked out a couple to share.

Man Man - "Haute Tropique"


Beirut - "Port of Call"


James Blake - "Unluck"


WFUV (90.7) is currently doing a donation drive until Oct. 21st and offering a live compilation album featuring some of these tracks and some other goodies. Worth a look at. Check it out here.

Video: James Blake - "Limit To Your Love" (Live On WFUV)

New York radio station WFUV hosted a session with current golden child of dub music James Blake recently, and they brought along a film crew to capture the moment. This clip gives an up-close look at how the live version of cover song “Limit to Your Love” is assembled, with one of Blake’s band members tooling away on a sampler while the singer croons over a simple piano motif. Check it out in the clip below..
