Some shows

We've had the chance to see some great shows lately. In no particular order, here's a nice taste including random videos of the performers we've seen this summer:

• Cloud Cult - One of Mr. and Mrs. Galore's favorite live performers. Here's some great stuff live at KEXP:

• Frightened Rabbit - Only Mr. Galore for this. According to a Grist colleague, Mrs. Galore is waiting until she's 60 to see more shows. Old, but great live audio performance on KEXP and some newer video.
• The National - For my money, it is, and will maintain its status, as the finest new album released in 2010. Opener was Okkervil River. Can't complain when you get a 2-for-1 of artists from the favorite list. No video for these bands because you should already know them.
• Holy *$%^ - Video not posted inline due to unfriendly language. Now that you've been warned, here's some live material from Bumbershoot should you be interested.
