Catherine Deneuve - Digital Delay Is she now botox-free or not? In any case in 1981 when this Serge Gainsbourg-penned record came out she was one of the most beautiful women on this planet. The track is not bad either. Related posts ballearica integral! Haadsaa My Galactic Hero Related posts ballearica integral! Haadsaa My Galactic Hero

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. So the saying goes, and I'm inclined to concur. I apologize in advance for returning to the scene of yesterday's whine, but these are the times (middle age and thereabouts) that try men's souls. Before you ask, I'm not in the throes of some midlife crisis. I had mine five years ago when I uprooted my entire life and moved from New York City to Buenos Aires. It was the best move I ever made, but what was I thinking? Right now I'm undergoing [...]
Dir: Eric Lartigau Cast: Roman Duris, Marina Foïs, Catherine Deneuve, Niels Arestrup, Eric Ruf, Branka Katic Cert: 15A Running Time: 115 minutes If there's one constant irk thrown against Hollywood these days, it's that there's not an original idea out there and that everything is either an adaptation, a remake, a reboot or a sequel. Particular nerves are hit when works from overseas - be the films, plays or books - are twisted to suit an American audience. Suddenly Stockholm becomes New Mexico, Boston subs in for Hong Kong and Asian horror [...]

Other than a reverb not working on track #9, allegedly, all is done and good on Ani DiFranco 's 17th full-length album. There is word that it will see the light of day this June, but with Ani DiFranco's hectic touring schedule, everything could change. There are many new tracks floating around of Ani's that still need a home in form of an album. They are: "Zoo," "Promiscuity, "J," "Life Boat,"Splinter," "Hearse," " Albacore Tuna ," "Amendment," "See," " Gloaming ," "If You're Not," "Wow," "Smart," "Mariachi," "A New Bible" and "Unworry." Not to forget the cover of " [...]
This is the trailer for the new François Ozon movie : Looks like a lot of fun. The soundtrack, featuring this classic, and this one, and this one, has a hidden gem at the end.

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 [...]

Chiara Mastroianni (left) in Un Chat Un Chat I went out yesterday to catch Sophie Fillieres' Un Chat Un Chat as part of the C inemania Festival , at the always comfortable and enjoyable Cinema Imperial. Even though it's not really a functioning cinema (per se), there are enough film festivals in this town that any film buff is guaranteed to attend at least one screening per month throughout the year. Last night - a somewhat meandering and unfocused film, not without its own charm, that [...]
It does make it so much easier to choose sides, doesn't it, when the team captains are Sarkozy on one side; Catherine Deneuve on the other. Yes, the French government is trying, once again, to somehow make it okay to throw people off the internet for unlicenced files. Sarkozy's UMP have already had to drop proposals to include punishments for sending files by email, as it turns out "we'll just have a quick look through your emails to see what is in them" isn't such a great vote-winner after all. Although why [...]

"Signing with Blue Note, I feel like Steffi Graf must have felt the first time she stepped onto court to play Martina Navratilova." Great soundbite, taken from this biography on Bluenote.com. It also says that for her Blue Note-debut, Stacey Kent recorded "two of her favourite French songs by celebrated songwriter Serge Gainsbourg", which suggests she handpicked 'm herself. Not true. Ces Petits Riens and La Saisons des Pluies were send to her by French A&R-guy Nicolas Pflug, but she loved 'm (see this epk ) right away. In the linked interview, Stacey [...]
