Sa Sabine - Les Sans Culottes 60's French pop by way of late 90's New York filtered through kitsch and gimmick. And guess what, those of you expecting the prude in me to rear its soupuss head? I don't mind a bit. They write great songs and they're fun. And it's all done so much so that all distance and spuriousness seems diluted and it has come for les Sans Culottes an immutable lifestyle choice. Sure, the sleazy by birthright, wolf-whistling, pre-women's liberation movement, [...]
I thought my search for anthropomorphic appliances in advertisements had ended when I found the saddest dryer ever . But 'twas not so. Here in the instructions for a GE, I find another unhappy appliance, this time a french dryer. Monsieur seems to be angry about someone standing on his hose. I think we've all felt that way at one time or another. Les Sans Culottes: Sa Sabine Plastic Bertrand: Ca Plane Pour Moi

Tomorrow night at Europa , the sort-of-seedy, totally awesome Greenpoint venue will host the likes of Made Out Of Babies , Shiragirl , Les Sans Culottes and others for the "Girlz In The Hood" tour. Tickets are ten bucks and it's 18+ (our favorite part even though we're old bastards by comparison). You should go there, drink plenty of PBR and rock out to these chicks.

After listening to Thee Headcoatees' cover of Plastic Bertrand 's smash Ça Plane Pour Moi I thought: did more girls cover this? Yes, they did. Take leatherclad Swiss girlband Tears. Or pophiphop-star Leila K. Or German rockers Paula (ofcourse, we know leadsinger Elke Brauweiler from her solo-project). But the boys are present too, as are a bunch of pinguins. If you check Allmusic.com , you'll find even more versions (anybody has the versions by Aluminum Babe? Annie Dufresne? Or the Spanish version by Manic Hispanic?). Bring 'm on! I will play a few no doubt this Saturday @ [...]
Thanks to the holiday falling on a Wednesday, we are in for a weird week. Though today is actually Tuesday, we have the concert slate of much later in the week. You are most likely off tomorrow, so check out a show. Let's start off in Baltimore with the biggest show of the night. Morrissey is playing at Rams Head Live . There really isn't much else to say. Morrissey - Suedehead Morrissey - We Hate It When Our Friends [...]
Kevin Bronson remains on vacation. Please do not believe the rumors. Neither he nor Paul is dead. You can never trust what you hear when you listen to Beatles records backwards. Jeff Weiss is your guest blogger. You can trust him. Probably. I'm willing to bet that Clermont Ferrand, lead singer and founder of Brooklyn-based French 60s Pop outfit Les Sans Culottes , is pretty thankful that he paid attention during French 101, while the rest of his peers at the Rhode Island School of Design tried to shake off their box wine [...]
Wikipedia: "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" is a pop song composed by Lee Hazlewood and first recorded by Nancy Sinatra. It was released in February, 1966, and attained number one in the United States and United Kingdom Pop charts. Sinatra was encouraged by Hazlewood to sing the song as if she were a sixteen-year-old girl giving the brush-off to a forty-year-old man. Sinatra's recording of the song was made with the help of notable Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. This session included Hal Blaine on drums, Tommy Tedesco and Billy Strange [...]
Sorry for the delay in posts. I wound up in Florida for a few days after a sudden death in the family. Obviously not pleasant circumstances but it was nice for the ol' radnauseum clan to gather together. Now, of course, it's back to the salt mines and the blog mine. Two things I wish to report today. The first being that I bought a new mobile phone that I love more than life itself. It's a pearl white Sony Ericsson W810i. As you can see it's [...]
Rummaging through my music collection I rediscovered Les Sans Culottes . Let's put it this way, it's a French singing band from New York. That might seem odd but as time goes on more and more people seem to realise exactly what the band is saying regardless of what language they are saying it in and even while it is filtered through assumed personas, using some ridiculous names like Francoise Hardly or Johnny Dieppe. And perhaps there is something revolutionary in that. As the NY Daily News says they've " earned a reputation for excessively fabulous performances and intoxicatingly [...]
Last night I stood to witness complete and utter madness that I had never seen in New York before. Where, you ask? At the Electric Six show at Warsaw of all places. Mind you, I had just seen these guys a couple weeks back at the Milwaukee Summerfest... and that was nowhere near the madhouse that Warsaw was last night. Not even in Milwaukee, people. Not even where they drink Miller Lite and the beast all day long, and 14 year olds can drink with their parents in a restaurant. But then again, maybe [...]
