six packs to french knacks



Between La Blogotheque & the timeless chronicling of street performers, the Take Away Shows profile an endless amount of vital artists churning out selected material. Their main focus is on the origin of songs, & their placement in everyday situations. From Scout Niblett & The Black Lips to Yeasayer and Carbiou, and even R.E.M., there is an unlimited supply of sweetness all over this place.


#55.1 takes on The Dirty Projectors, who have already established themselves as innovative & oddly infectious with Rise Above, their re-imagining of Black Flag's classic record Damaged. This lengthy, but totally intimate, performance of "Police Story" is the real deal. Their arrangements blow my mind with every listen &, if you have the time to spare, these two installments are a feast for the starving cerebrum!

Here's the shortest, most incomplete playlist you will ever get. Theme: Nakedness!


Stereo Total // I Am Naked
Gentleman Reg // It's Not Safe (taken from guess which soundtrack!)
The Dirty Projectors // Naked We Made It
Neutral Milk Hotel // Two-Headed Boy
Swan Lake // Are You Swimming in Her Pools?
Why? // Gemini (Birthday Song)

Note: suggestions are alright but questioning is not allowed!
