It was this April 23 that with the release of her first single accompanied by a clip Lou Doillon made her official entry into the world of music; a little piano, a hoarse voice, English lyrics might not be enough, but still...It's beautiful, it touches me, I love it. She became my favorite heart attack of the month. A [...]

Petit article consacré au label Ekler'o'Shock ! Pour 2 raisons, la 1e étant que je suis allé voir le « nouveau » live de Danger la semaine dernière, 1e fois que je le voyais, bon visuellement à part son thème de potard sur mesure assez stylé, le reste est vraiment inutile, les vidéos de forêt avec filtre rouge ... mouais, sinon, musicalement j'ai pris une claque, je dois le dire ! ( Mondkopf bien cool aussi malgré des transitions bien crades et Koudlam est juste un truc que je ne pigerais jamais ... [...]

In other news : a new compilation featuring inédits by Serge Gainsbourg will be released next month. A single, Serge singing Comme un Boomerang, is released today. He wrote the song for Dani 's Eurovision Songcontest appearance in 1975, but it got rejected. She recorded it with Daho in 2001. Read all about it HERE. (Thx Bruno!)

Every so often I'll do a mammoth vinyl session. This involves going through each and every album and single, fondling the covers, ogling the artwork, sniffing the insides and scrutinising the sleevenotes. It's an event, I tell you. And quietly amazing. How much work did people put into these packages? Partly inspired by XO's post on the brilliant Music On Vinyl , here are a few from my collection. 4000 Annees d'Horreur - Etienne Daho (zShare) 1986 [...]

Atmosfera indie-folk con raffinate echi brasiliane. Canzoni quasi sussurrate nella lingua di Molière da una vocina femminile esile e conturbante. Atmosfere senza tempo, da qualche parte tra il 1963 e il 2008. Chiare influenze dei padri e della madri nobili della canzone francese ( Gainsbourg e Hardy in primis). Un piccolo angolo d'Italia. No, non stiamo parlando di madame Bruni – Sarkozy . Ma di un'altra "parente" celebre e lanciatissima. Il suo nome è Coralie Clément e molti forse se la ricordano per un album di qualche anno fa (Salle [...]
I've long held a suspicion that the decision to work with Etienna Daho was taken with the hope that at some point Daho might undertake a miracle, bringing recognition from the Catholic church and allowing the songs to be rebilled as By The Two Saint Etiennes. While the world is still waiting for him to resurrect some dead nuns or something, let's watch the one Saint Etienne and the one non-saint Etienne working together: [Part of Saint Etienne Weekend ]

Really, this post is about Etienne Daho, but lets start elsewhere. As happens with the best music, it lands in your lap by sheer chance, and it gives for the most interesting story. Almost four year ago, Sweetlight aka Julien Plaisir de aka "electro bijou acid pop" put out a remix of Etienne Daho's "Le Grand Sommeil," one of my top favorites on my list of whatever . Despite it's magic and candour, no label gave it attention for a significant amount of time. That changed in 2006 when Turbo aka [...]

One month after his death, I'd like to give a well deserved tribute to the darkly handsome and charismatic early frontman of Pink Floyd. At the moment I thought it'd be better to remain silent and just light a pair of candles on top of my dusty bass amp while the other children farewelled barrett in their own uncertain ways. And so, I did. Judging by some of the posts I read after Syd's death I realized sadly that half of the bloggers out there have hardly listened to any Pink Floyd's records, [...]
