And finally...Today would have been François Truffaut 's 80th birthday. There's a nice tribute on the Guardian site in salute to the great Nouvelle Vague film-maker. The one and only fitting song I could think of to post was this curio discovered via the blowupdoll mixtape exchange last year... " Antoine Doinel , Antoine Doinel , Antoine Doinel , Antoine Doinel , Antoine Doinel [...]
Isolee courses the bloodstream like a drug. Fingerbanger 1 : Isolee - Schrapnell (don lowed) -- A kinder, gentler predator. Fingerbanger 2 : The Walkmen - Canadian Girl (don lowed) -- ...your attitudes came from actions which led to observations which led to explanations which led to beliefs. It is well known in psychology the cart of behavior often gets before the horse of attitude. Your actions tend to chisel away at the [...]
The Clash's "Guns of Brixton" is probably one of the greatest rock songs ever written. Anyways, it is certainly one of the best rock tracks ever fused with another genre (considering it is maybe more reggae that rock). I love the way it just oozes defiance, rebellion and urban menace. The three covers I collected here are all pretty unique and really shine a light on different aspects of the source material. It's also just really interesting to see what the covering bands took from the original and what they discarded. Arcade Fire's live version pretty much strips the reggae [...]
Au fost ceva albume frumoase lansate toamna asta. Dar pentru că în rubrică regula e cu câte două, vor fi doar două - care m-au impresionat sau entuziasmat pe mine în mod special. Sugestii din aceeaşi temă aşteptăm la comentarii. 1. David Lynch - Crazy Clown Time E greu de descris albumul ăsta, la fel de greu de descris ca orice creaţie David Lynch. E aşa cum îi sunt şi filmele: întunecat, ciudat, păcătos, puţin psycho, tensionat, [...]
As we reported back in June , Shana Halligan has moved on from her work in the trip-hop duo Bitter:Sweet and found fertile soil — most of it European — for her sultry vocal stylings. Halligan, who has spent the past year collaborating with the likes of Nouvelle Vague, System of a Down's Serj Tankian, Thievery Corporation and producers Alex Cowan (aka TM Juke), Carmen Rizzo and Charles Webster, today announced the release of her solo debut, the "Paper Butterfly" EP. It will come out Nov. 28 (followed by a full-length in 2012) on the new Unknown [...]

If you've ever awoken in cold sweats from nightmares of floundering in incomprehensible academia (few) or had a slapdash piece of shoddy homework returned doused in corrections (most), you'll already have preconceptions of the dreaded red pen. Its scarlet hue spotted at a distance incites anxiousness that then turns to self-doubt as the carmine-splattered, paper-based debacle approaches, which in turn reverts to irateness, incandescence, and finally indifference as time passes and corridor bells eventually trill deafeningly. Thus here to enhance the reputation of the red pen are My Tiger My Timing , whose forthcoming single Written in Red (out [...]
This song has a great vibe to it. It sounds like it could be the audio for the next generations of iPods. Camille is back to her solo performances and its sounds great, even though her work with Nouvelle Vague is just as good. Her new album Ilo Veyou is out now in France only, but should get an international release soon, perhaps with an English title.

Remember Soko ? The French actress/singer who gained popped up in 2007 as "one of those artists gaining popularity through the internet?" Her "I Kill Her" even became a hit in Belgium and Denmark. You know, The Soko who sang in English with a very heavy French Accent ("Ai Kiell Uhr"), that some people love? But the success as a singer didn't last. Only an EP was released ("Not Sokute") and in January 2009 she used her Myspace site that made her popular to declare herself "dead". She dissapeared from the music scene, disappointed with "the music industry".. [...]
"Free to Flee" is new from French group OHO. The excellent track navigates a lane between classic French pop/electro (think Air) and more modern beat-driven music (Ratatat, Bonobo, etc) and is framed by a great Nouvelle Vague-esque female vocal. Result. OHO - Free to Flee OHO ( Official ) ( Facebook ) Rating 8.5

There's no shortage of terrible covers out there, and the vast majority of them usually fall into one of two categories: Overly faithful and vastly inferior to the original and totally pointless, making you just want to hear the original Overly experimental, wrecking the original, and just as pointless as the first kind of bad cover A good cover finds makes the original great and casts it in a new light. It makes you notice that that disco song had a really great melody, that the original was a little [...]

Nouvelle Vague-Guns Of Brixton Thievery Corporation-Lebanese Blonde Klaus Nomi-Valentine's Day 3 tracks for those long hot summer days of which Blackpool is currently void. Breezy French chansons singing the Clash's ode to going out with a bang seems like asking James Blake to sing on a record produced by Phil Spector, a little bit wrong. Yet I am glad to [...]
