Time Waster: Black Cab Sessions
By Jeff on Jun 1, 2009 in Music, Time Wasters, Videos | Comments
Taxis. What can't they do? First there was "Taxicab Confessions" then "Cash Cab" and now this cozy little music series from the streets of London. An impressive list of indie artists (Calexico, Death Cab for Cutie, The National, My Morning Jacket, The Walkmen, plus many more) have performed intimate Black Cab Sessions in the back of city taxis while motoring through the metro area. Some of these artists have been interviewed on UsedWigs Radio, too (Dawn Landes, Jeffrey Lewis and Daniel Johnston). Well, how about that!

In particular, I loved the Maximo Park performance, The Doves (above) and Richard Thompson (below):
