I both love and hate the fact that I live so close to Austin. Every time I am there I decide that I will soon be moving there (which obviously never happens). It is home to SxSW and ACL, and has also been branded "The Live Music Capitol of the World". The city is a music blogger's best and/or worst friend. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of going to as many live shows as possible. The bad part of that habit is that I do not like to miss any shows. If I lived there, I'd be broke.

Really though, if we moved to Austin, who would be here to report on all of the great Houston happenings? Plus, a road trip to see two incredible bands like Caribou and Fuck Buttons always ends up being a good time.

If you ever find yourself perusing the internet with no specific destination, and are in the mood for the most creative, original music videos that you could ever see, head on over to La Blogotheque to get your fix. This Parisian music blog looks like it would be a great read, but unfortunately my French comprehension skills are currently at a second grade level. Merci beaucoup is pretty much all I know (I have to admit that I even googled the spelling and babel-fished this post's title). Fortunately for us non-French-speaking people their videos do all of the talking.

Check out some of my favorite Blogotheque videos after the jump.
