The Cave (by Patrick Drury)

Last weekend the band at Crossroads covered Mumford and Sons’ The Cave. In the fourteen years I’ve been around this place, it was one of my favorite performances ever.

I managed to get some footage of the band running through the song three or four times during rehearsal, plus the three services where they performed. I edited all of those together to create this video. Obviously mouth movements and strums aren’t going to line up perfectly over multiple performances, so don’t look too close - there are a lot of random cuts that I usually wouldn’t make, trying to cover that sort of thing.

After cutting it together I did a little color grading and added some film grain in After Effects.

Mumford & Sons - The Banjolin Song / Awake my soul - A Take Away Show #105 (by La Blogotheque)

I love La Blogotheque’s Take-Away Shows. They feature some really awesome bands playing their songs in alleys, on the street, in the backs of cars, etc. The most recent one features one of my new favorite bands, Mumford and Sons.

Mumford and Sons

Getting a chance to really work through the entire album. I love it. I think any album benefits from a nice, expensive set of headphones, but this one… there’s so much texture and power there in the cans. You really miss a lot if you’re just listening to it on regular speakers. That being said, here’s a couple of their videos. One has dirty words, so don’t let your mom hear it.
