Since I was lil tyke, the genre of choice that's defined my musical taste has progressed from Barney & Company to ghetto music to classical then jazz and finally rock - yeah it's sort of messed up, especially with that Barney to ghetto music jump. The easiest transition to make was jazz to rock. Don't ask me how, but the likes of Nina Simone transmogrified into acts such as The Clash practically overnight. Now the French must know about this semi-freakish genre jump, because somewhere, sometime ago, Nouvelle Vague was born. The idea was simple, take some classic [...]
Fruitstock is surely the ultimate in what journo Miranda Sawyer recently called ‘restivals’. That is, “festivals tailor-made for the bourgeois festival-goer. You get good music, gorgeous surroundings and 'relaxed' people; but you also get proper toilets, decent food and comfy accommodation.†Now as I get older, I can almost embrace that description as something positive. It’s not longer good enough merely to be in eyesight of my heroes any more. But you do get the impression that at events like Fruitstock the music is kinda incidental, or just a part of the experience. The vast [...]
New York based band, Pablo , have recently dropped their full length debut, Half The Time. The tortured ballads and the gravelly voice of singer Paul Schalda will often times recall the more intimate and painful moments of The Replacements. Pablo - Wall Street.mp3 Nouvelle vague is translated to new wave in English. This french duo takes new wave standards, like Echo and The Bunnymen's "Killing Moon" and unleashes them upon vocalists who have never heard the originals. [...]

Late last night i was listening to some songs before i went to bed and Nouvelle Vague's "Killing Moon" came on through the mp3 shuffle thing. After that, it has basically been more or less on repeat right to this very moment. It's a lovely song that opens with a soft, acoustic guitar strum along with sounds of rustling leaves, insects flying around and generally the type of thing you'd normally hear in the middle of the night. Which is exactly how much this song is a perfect companion to sitting around somewhere alone in [...]
Organized by two French producers, Nouvelle Vague is a bossa nova project that's sole purpose is covering punk, post-punk and new-wave hits of past decades. Sounds corny, doesn't it? It's really not. The songs-which include covers of The Clash, Dead Kennedys and The Cure, among others-are all stripped down, performed with acoustic guitar and percussive instruments (shakers, mostly) that serve as accompaniment to the female vocalists who are spread across the tracks. This is definitely not a novelty album; the music is exceptional and gives new life to some, ahem, "classic" songs. The hypnotic chorus of [...]

Top 5 of the moment
I love when blogs just give you music. No questions asked, no long-winded explanations of why you should listen to it, no extraneous links. It's your choice! You can download it and give it a try, or you can skip over it while exclaiming to yourself, "Why would I ever listen to a band called Monkey Jell-O?" Or would you?? You never know. So here are my top 5 of the moment, with a little blurb if I feel like it. 1. Sufjan Stevens - Come Thou Font Of Every [...]

Tv On The Radio Vs. Nouvelle Vague
Tv On The Radio , con Trent Reznor (NIN) e Peter Murphy (BauHaus), durante un programma radio, improvvisano una versione riveduta e corretta di Bela Lugosi's Dead. Qual è meglio? Questa o quella dei Nouvelle Vague ? Oppure siete dei puristi della musica e apprezzate solo l' originale ? Comunque, se vi interessa, sul sito dei NIN sono scaricabili tutte le loro performance in radio.

Sugarush Buzzcocks cover
Everyone loves lesbians. I also love great music, and have been wondering what that version of "Ever Fallen in Love" was in the second episode of this series. The kind of groovier, softer, loungier effort. Apparently its this one. Download: Nouvelle Vague- Ever Fallen In Love (The Buzzcocks)

“Hear the notes from a distant song…â€
I'm diggin' the new Nouvelle Vague album so much that I thought I'd give you another dose. Do you remember the New Romantic movement? Were you even alive back then? Early Eighties England. Bands like Adam & the Ants, The Fixx and Spandau Ballet. Influenced by the look and sound of David Bowie and Roxy Music. Poncy-looking clothes and electropop. As evidenced by Visage . The band was made up of Steve Strange, Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Dave Formula, John McGeoch, and [...]
“What I find is pleasing…â€
Following up on yesterday's post about multiple versions of a song, here's another pair. The song is Blondie 's 1979 single "Heart of Glass." It attracted some controversy at the time; many bands got sucked into the disco trend (including Rod Stewart and the Rolling Stones), so for a band like Blondie to seem to do so came across as a real sell-out. Ah, fuck it. I've made my feelings about disco known previously ( once or twice ). It's a good song. [...]
