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.

In honor of my renewed appreciation for classic radio (spurred on by Bob Dylan's "Theme Time Radio Hour"), I present a Baker's Dozen of great tracks about the dying medium.
Just before 12 o'clock on the 21st of December, 1975, a six-member terror squad stormed a conference of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC ) in Vienna. During a gunfight, an Austrian detective, an Iraqi security officer and the Libyan delegate Jusuf al-Azmarly were killed. A man later identified as the terrorist Hans-Joachim Klein was wounded. The terrorists, under the leadership of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez alias " Carlos " took about 70 hostages, among whom are eleven oil-ministers from OPEC countries. The [...]
The people of South America known collectively as the Jivaro are well know for their practice of shrinking the heads of their enemies. Raids on alien tribes are carried out specifically to secure tsantsas , or shrunken head trophies. The attacks are usually small and are usually carried out on one house where the victim may be caught unaware. The trophies bring prestige to the head takers and trap the avenging souls of their victims. The first step is the removal of the head of the unfortunate victim. The skin is cut around the top [...]

Guestpost! Natasha on Brigitte Fontaine : The iconic Brigitte Fontaine – singer, songwriter, author, actress, playwright, novelist and poet, now 69 – has been a "sublime pain-in-the-ass" (the French name of her latest show) of the French, world, jazz, pop, electro, underground and God knows what else scene for some 30 odd years and is still going strong. Still going strong in Brigitte's case doesn't mean mellowing out and cutting lame, old lady tracks, either. It means appearing at the Barbican Centre in London in 2006 with English artists (Jarvis Cocker, Portishead, Beck, etc.) for [...]
