The gimmick: Indie rockers do acoustic one-takes in the back seat of a moving London cab; the front-seat camera catches random glimpses of the city. Some of the participants: Spoon, Okkervil River, the Kooks, Cold War Kids, Elvis Perkins. Good performances and surprisingly natural, interesting films.
Somewhat similar to the more fancy-schmancy “Concerts à l’Emporter” at La Blogotheque. (The Dirty Projectors episode last summer is a highlight. They do their version of Black Flag’s “Police Story” — “This fucking city is run by pigs/They take the rights away from all the kids” — in Washington Square Park, inches away from cops on patrol.)
