In January, the marvelous website couchsurfing.org brought us a terrific set of houseguests: a couple from the beaches of California asked to stay in my home while they came to Colorado to pick up the due-any-day baby that they had just been chosen to be the adoptive parents of. For two weeks we got to host them and their brand new little guy, all wide eyes and stretching fingers. It was, in a word, magnificent. We forget that they make people that little, that new. Light as air and just about perfect. As I am wont [...]
French music giant Michel Legrand made a Christmas-album , with featured guests like Jamie Cullum, Mika and Carla Bruni. It's released in two versions, one with the best-known international stars (Iggy Pop too), one with more French singers, like Olivia Ruiz and Coeur de Pirate. Shame. The track with Carla Bruni isn't the stand-out song on the album, yet it will gather the most attention I guess. So here it is. The orchestra sounds great, Carla should refrain from trying to sing - her whisper is good enough. For me, at least. The song by the way is a [...]
In the midst of the wanderings that now comprise his life, Pete Doherty has apparently met and started a friendship with French first lady Carla Bruni. Because you're definitely wondering, the two bonded over a mutual love of music and poetry and have reportedly discussed a future musical collaboration. Doherty is of course the mind behind the fondly remembered Libertines, and Ms. Bruni has sold over two million records in Europe. No word yet on how the French feel about this particular version of Beauty and the Beast, but maybe it will motivate Michell Obama to devote a [...]
Pete Doherty , ese hombre controvertido que creó The Libertines y le devolvió a la música inglesa ese glamour rockstar que tanto necesitaba, parece que conoció a Carla Bruni y se conectaron muy bien. ¿Por qué digo esto? Porque ahora los rumores indican que el Babyshamble podría llegar a sacar un disco junto a la esposa del actual presidente francés. Según informa el Sunday Mirror durante este año Bruni le escribió hace un tiempo a Doherty para que se encontraran y, después de haberse reunido en [...]
La primera dama francesa estaría probando su voz en el estudio junto al ex The Libertines tras haberse formado un fuerte lazo de amistad entre ambos músicos. Luego del puntapié inicial que dio el tabloide británico Sunday Mirror , los rumores del acercamiento de Doherty con Bruni se hacían cada vez más fuertes. Hubo una reunión a principio de año, cuando la primera dama habría invitado a Doherty [...]
Woody Allen's new film, Midnight in Paris, is a romantic comedy in the most classic sense. The film's superstar cast includes Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Michael Sheen, Kathy Bates, Allison Pill, Carla Bruni, Adrien Brody and Marie Cotillard. I won't say much else about this wonderful, charming, magical little film, for I went in blind [...]
Click image to download full album Song: Carla Bruni - Quelqu'un ma dit "Carla Bruni - Quelqu'un ma dit" What's so good? It's a love song; a French love ballad curling off the beautiful, Carla Bruni's, tongue like liquid oxygen, rejuvenating our wanderlust-heavy minds. We are promised through the story told in a French slur that "someone told me that you still love me, is it possible then?" As we wonder - lured in by the interplay between rustled whispers [...]
" Tu es belle quand tu es odieuse" I've come to the conclusion that my immune system between the months of October and January is basically non-existant. I guess I should just resign myself to that fact. On the bright side, spending most of yesterday evening covered up to the nose in my duvet gave me the opportunity to indulge in one of my favourite films, 'Paris, [...]
"It has to go down as one of the worst covers in the history of rock, although there are certainly a few by Tom Jones I would rank lower." "Absolute Rubbish." "What did David do to deserve this?" Random comments from French magazines and websites (see here for more) on Carla Sarkozy-Bruni's take on David Bowie's Absolute Beginners. She recorded it for the (DB-management approved) tribute album We Were So Turned On , a double-album with covers from Duran Duran, A Place to Bury Strangers, Warpaint and John Frusciante. (See also here [...]
E' un gustoso triplo cd quello che uscirà il 12 ottobre sotto la sigla di « We were so Turned on » con il ricavato che verrà devoluto a War Child Charit. Il tribute, curato dalla label Manimal Vinyl, contiene tutti i maggiori successi di David Bowie cantati da artisti come Megapuss (Devendra Banhart) Carla Bruni, Keren Ann, Arno. Mick Karn e Duran Duran. Accanto a loro anche alcuni nomi emergenti della scena inglese come : We Have Band , Chairlift, Warpaint, Exitmusic, We Are The World , Lewis & Clarke, Jessica [...]
Given the ceaselessly glamourous and infinitely various epochs of David Bowie , his sumptuous songwriting capacities and mystifying demure, is it any wonder this quintessentially supernatural Hero, this Starman is commended with a full-blooded, exhaustive double disc of covers courtesy of Balearic beat mongers, Brooklyn Hype Machine heartthrobs, and Duran Duran , all in the name of charity? If you'd ever wondered how Sound and Vision, lifted from the seminal Low may sound were it splattered with aqueous synths and rustled up with a side order of simulated Salt'n'Peppa drum machine thumps, delivered in jovial [...]
About two weeks ago, we already posted a live version of Zaz's splendid Piaf cover Dans la rue here . Since she with the husky voice is a dedicated Gainsbourg aficionado as well, she also played a sparse, and highly intense manouche-style version of Serge's Ces petits riens during the same gig, backed by bassist Mathieu Verlot and guitarist Guillaume Juhel. You will find this cover neither on her recent no. 1 album nor anywhere on the net. The song was recorded during an intimate live performance at MDR radio station, Halle, Germany, with an audience of ten (!) handpicked [...]

Chers téléspectateurs bonsoir. Ce soir nous vous présentons une nouvelle émission de télé-réalité. Un couple a accepté d'être filmé 24 heures sur 24 pendant ses trois semaines de vacances. Comme ceux d'entre vous qui pouvaient partir en vacances sont certainement déjà rentrés, c'est un moyen pour nous de vous offrir une prolongation par procuration. Tout ceci est rendu possible grâce à nos partenaires : les sociétés Kärcher, Taser, Carrefour, la BNP, et les caméras de vidéo-surveillance Apache . Mais il est temps de rejoindre notre couple, dans sa petite résidence secondaire dans le Var. [...]
Se dio a conocer el tracklist y la fecha de lanzamiento de un disco tributo a David Bowie , en el que artistas de diversas vertientes repasaran la obra del músico británico. El set de dos discos tendrá por nombre We Were So Turned On , y saldrá a la venta el 6 de septiembre. En él participarán artistas de las más diversas vertientes, desde Duran Duran hasta Carla Bruni , por mencionar solo algunos. Además de homenajear a quien fuera uno [...]
Domenica 27 giugno, Paul McCartney si esibirà dal vivo all'Hyde Park di Londra in occasione dello show per la campagna mondiale "Born HIV Free" all'interno dell' Hard Rock Calling 2010. Dopo la disavventura a Città del Messico e il live con parata di stelle annessa alla presenza del presidente Obama , finalmente un ritorno in grande stile davanti alla 'sua' Londra con quello che si prevede come un evento dall'affluenza enorme. La buona (ottima) notizia per tutti quelli che non potranno assistere al concerto del mitico Fab [...]
On January 2nd, Manimal Vinyl announced an upcoming 28-song David Bowie tribute album. The tracklist has since been revised, and will be released as a double-disc release of 32 covers. The album, titled Repetition – A Tribute to David Bowie, features Bowie classics covered by Duran Duran, Warpaint, Carla Bruni, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic [...]
David Bowie continua ad essere -giustamente- celebrato. Uno degli artisti più influenti e importanti degli ultimi 30 anni. Capace non solo di fare la differenza attraversando qualsiasi 'moda', ma anche di caratterizzare a tal punto le sue scelte musicali da lanciare nuovi indirizzi da seguire. 'Stavolta il tributo è doppiamente importante. Non solo per le vecchie e nuove 'glorie' che raduna, ma anche e soprattutto per l'iniziativa benefica che promuove. I proventi del doppio album andranno infatti a The War Child il network di organizzazioni indipendenti che lavora in tutto il mondo per aiutare i [...]
Voce potente nonostante i 16 anni età. Ancora "da formare" nell'aspetto eppure di una bellezza magnetica. Look giusto, parecchio televisivo (somiglia un pò a quello di Arisa , con quegli occhialoni grandi). Camélia Jordana è il volto nuovo della musica francese. E probabilmente, è nata davvero una " Nouvelle star", come il titolo del talent show da cui è stata lanciata, il Pop Idol Francese, in onda sulla cateena privata M6 . E'uscita ai quarti di finale ma sta scalando le classifiche con il suo primo singolo " Non Non Non [...]
Way back in January, the 2nd to be exact, Manimal Records kicked off the New Year with a bang by announcing plans for an absurdly awesome David Bowie tribute album . If you remember, the effort was to feature the likes of MGMT, Duran Duran, A Place to Bury Strangers, Megapuss, ex-Chili Pepper John Frusciante, and the French First Lady, Carla Bruni, covering the legendary musician, with all the profits going to War Child UK — a branch of an international charity for children affected by war. It had been a while since we heard [...]
