During the mid 1950's William Burroughs wrote to Allen Ginsberg from Tangier, Morrocco regarding his experiences with liquid oxycodone. Sold over the counter in the International Zone under the German brand name Eukodol, he described at length spending extended periods of time locked away in his room, only moving to inject himself every two hours.

![[EN FRANCAIS] Brigitte Fontaine miraculeuse (ou presque)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3477580_lg.jpg)
Les fidèles de ce blog vont penser que j'ai un faible pour les Brigitte. Après mon énorme coup de coeur pour le groupe du même nom , je vous propose de vous intéresser à une autre porteuse du sensuel prénom. : Brigitte Fontaine . J'aime bien Brigitte R. aussi, mais elle c'est ma tante, et elle ne fait pas (encore) de musique. Brigitte Fontaine, c'est un monument de la chanson française. Ma première découverte [...]
Can we agree on saying that Brigitte Fontaine is an acquired taste? The grande dame of the odd chanson started her career in 1965, sang traditional chansons but made things more interesting for herself by working with The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Jacques Higelin, Sonic Youth, Stereolab and a whole lot more. She's in her 70s now, but does not tone down. 'I am God's nightmare', she, erm, 'sings' on her most recent offering, the duet-stuffed L'un n'empêche pas l'autre. Her partners have, just like her, instantly recognisable voices, like Arno Hintjens (great track!), Grace Jones [...]

May 8, 1945: Victory in Europe. Millions flooded the streets to celebrate the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany and the formal end of World War II in the European Theater. In the northern Algerian market town of Setif, a victory parade of 5,000 Algerian Muslims ended in clashes between the marchers and the local French [...]

It is doubtful that even his mother could claim the Ludger Sylbaris was a nice man. Born in 1875 on Martinique and known as Sanson (or Samson) for his great strength, by 1902 at the age of 27 he was a habitual drunk and repeat felon. The police were hardly surprised when called to the [...]

The undeniably kooky Grace Jones hooks up with French singer/poet Brigitte Fontaine on three tracks off her amazing album Prohibition - the dreamy Il S'En Passe, Just You and Me and the beautifully poetic Soufi . I would have never found this if I hadn't checked out MuuMuse . Love this collaboration very much. The album is a perfect, champagne sipping treat to keep on while we all hibernate through the cold New York winter. - Matt
Ladies and gentlemen...here's Grace! Brigitte Fontaine is an avant-garde poet/singer from France. Her latest album released in the latter part of 2009, Prohibition , was produced by Ivor Guest , the producer behind Grace Jones ' latest effort, Hurricane . According to the user who uploaded the song on YouTube, "Brigitte's poetry in this song emblazons her love on Sufism" for "Soufi," one of the artist's album tracks that features Guest's dramatic production and Grace Jones' unmistakable vocal contributions. For Jones, this is [...]
"Wherever I go people start talking about me, saying that my legs and hands can fetch a fortune in Tanzania," --Mary Owido, Nairobi, Kenya The belief that albino body parts hold magical powers and can confer longevity has been long held in East Africa. Albinos are feared by some in this region as "ghosts from Europe" or as embodiments of evil spirits. These outcasts were ripe for exploitation by Tanzanian witch doctors who decided to embark "on an exciting new marketing exercise" beginning in 2007, capitalizing on both widely held bigotry and [...]

It sounds like a musical trainwreck in the making or the set-up for a joke about the excesses of the avant garde. A French chanteuse and a Kabyle musician meet an Afrocentric American free jazz band on a stage in Paris. Chaos ensues? Au contraire.
