So apparently
Merge Records, local Durham NC label teamed up w/ Converse.com (yeah the shoe company) and some film makers and are releasing intimate live performance videos of Merge Records artists. I guess most of these sessions took place the week of XXMerge - the label's 2oth anniversary celebration of shows here in Chapel Hill, NC. Any ways, you can check the videos here:

I recommend Lou Barlow's performance on the benches behind The Cat's Cradle. Though, he is looking a little rough I must say; I guess that's what 20+ years of playing in bands and touring can do to ya.
