Whitney Houston vs. Serge Gainsbourg
On the day Whitney Houston died, it is good to remember the legendary TV interview from Michel Drucker, with Whitney and Serge, on April 5, 1986. As a wise man said: Serge said what every one thought back then...

Do Your Math

Marie Mathématique (part 1) - Serge Gainsbourg
In 1965, comic illustrator Jean-Claude Forest created futuristic heroine Marie Mathématique for French TV, kind of a little sister of Bébé Cyanure (Baby Cyanide) and 60s icon Barbarella who brought Forest world fame and was played by Jane Fonda in Roger Vadim's masturbation blockbuster. Venusian Marie, "la jeune fille comme il faut", appeared in six all-too short episodes within ORTF's Dim Dam Dom tv magazine - a pop art kitten sexed up additionally by the cool of singer/ storyteller Serge Gainsbourg. Extraordinary stuff, not to be missed. Giggles and chuckles by another [...]

The 200th Post

Feb 6, 2012, 5:06pm L'Amour Electronique
The 200th Post *FANFARE* This is the landmark 200th post on the L'Amour Electronique blog! Of course, L'Amour Electronique was in existence for a few years before the blog began, but I still couldn't let it pass without flagging it up. But how to commemorate this double-century? At first I thought I could post a song or artist with "two-hundred" in the name or title - but a quick search through my hard-drive put paid to that idea. So thinking laterally I give you a song that is 200 seconds long, or 3 minutes 33 seconds in old money. [...]

Luciana Mello

Luciana Mello | Couleur Café
Brazilian singer Luciana Mello recorded a French version of Serge Gainsbourg's latinized ode to coffee-coloured beauties Couleur Café on her 6th album (called 6 Solo). In the video above you don't see French singer Corneille , but he's on the album version. Luciana comes from a musical family, her dad's Brazilian funk pioneer Jair Rodrigues , her brother Jair Oliviera is a music producer. Not sure if Luciana recorded in French before, but this sure's convincing. Listen to more Luciana via Soundcloud . (Merci to Under Paris blog for the tip) [...]

Feb 4, 2012, 10:09am Feel my Bicep
SERGE GAINSBOURG | REQUIEM POUR UN C… (LEBARON EDIT) Things got a little house heavy on FMB recently, which is good (as we mostly play house music) but time for something a little more worldly! Here we've got an effortlessly cool edit from Lebaron, reworking music legend Serge Gainsbourgh. Fans of Gilles Peterson will be loving this! Brup!

Jane Birkin sings Serge Gainsbourg "Via Japan" (19.01.2012, Babylon)

Jan 26, 2012, 9:52am Manyetik Bant (Magnetic Tape)
Jane Birkin sings Serge Gainsbourg "Via Japan" (19.01.2012, Babylon) Jane Birkin zarafeti, gülüşü, taranmamış saçlarıyla yakından gördüğüm en etkileyici kadınlardan. Japon müzisyenlerin icrasıyla Serge Gainsbourg şarkılarını söylediği konser boyunca, hayatının bir dönemini birlikte geçirdiğin birinin ölümünden yıllar sonra onun şarkılarını söylemenin nasıl hissettireceğini düşündüm. Birkin’inki bizim hastalıklı nostaljilerimize benzemiyor. Arada bir yapılan eğlenceli bir anma gibi. Jane Birkin sings Serge Gainsbourg “Via Japan” etkinliğinin amacı, tsunamiden zarar gören Japonya’ya yardım etmek. “Aynı acıları Türkiye de deprem yüzünden yaşıyor, siz burada yaptığımızı anlarsınız” diyor Jane Birkin. Bazılarının hiçbir şey anlamadığını söylemiyoruz. [...]

Under the radar (10)

Jan 24, 2012, 5:34am Filles Sourires
Under the radar (10) Serge Gainsbourg's L'Homme à tête de chou is the underrated masterpiece in his catalogue, lesser known then 'Melody Nelson' but certainly not a lesser album. Just before he died, Alain Bashung worked on a ballet about the man with the cauliflower head. The videos for the ballet look interesting, the album was a bit of a letdown to be honest. Yet this is a great video for Bashung's version of Variations sur Marilou . What I didn't know, is that Serge-soundalike Rodolphe Burger recorded a live tribute of 'Tête de chou' in 2006. With help from Mick [...]

White Hinterland :: Requiem pour un Con (Serge Gainsbourg)

Requiem pour un Con
Serge Gainsbourg cut "Requiem pour un Con" in 1968 for Jean Gabin's film Le Pacha (see clip below). Forty years later Casey Dienel, under the nom de tune, White Hinterland, released the Francophone, six song, Luniculaire ep. I've been revisiting the collection for the first time since its release - specifically Hinterland's take on "Requiem." [...]

We Are Enfant Terrible

Dec 15, 2011, 5:12pm Filles Sourires
We Are Enfant Terrible We Are Enfant Terrible is a French electronica-driven pop band that, as they say on their site , 'sing songs in English. But with our new EP, La vie est belle, mes enfants! , recorded last summer in the french deep country, we claim our love in french to artists that inspire us by covering and/or translating New Young Pony Club, Gainsbourg, Dutronc, Beck.' The NYPC-song is downloadable for free via Soundcloud. But this blog is of course very interested in their take on Ces Petits Riens, originally a duet between Serge and Catherine . And, well, [...]

Jane Birkin compie oggi 65 anni: gli auguri di Soundsblog

Dec 14, 2011, 11:37am soundsblog
Jane Birkin compie oggi 65 anni: gli auguri di Soundsblog Jane Birkin aveva ventidue anni ed era a Parigi, sul set del film "Slogan", chiamata a recitare dopo il successo dell'apparizione in "Blow Up" di Michelangelo Antonioni. Serge Gainsbourg la vide e se ne innamorò perdutamente (come avrebbe potuto fare altrimenti?). Poco meno di un anno dopo registravano la canzone che li avrebbe resi una delle coppie più famose del mondo e della Storia della Musica tutta. "Je t'aime... moi non plus" era una delle tante, geniali idee di Gainsbourg : un brano la cui linea melodica sensuale, ostinata e perversa era poco [...]

Sesame Street: What's The Name Of That Song?
As Cooper's second birthday looms, he's finally aged to the point where he has developed some bona fide opinions about music—or at least latched onto a few favorite songs. Being that this is a household that emphasizes songs the whole family can enjoy (while not wholly outlawing outright kids' music), the majority of the songs on this list are simply oldies for young'uns . These are the songs (especially of late) that Coop asks for by name, and/or can "sing" on request. The Beach Boys: Barbara Ann The [...]

Ne Sois Pas Si Bête, France Gall (1963)

Diffusée pour la première fois à la radio en octobre 1963, la chanson " Ne Sois Pas Si Bête " se classe directement à la 44ème place du hit parade Salut Les Copains et propulse France Gall au rang d'idole alors qu'elle n'a que 16 ans. Elle devient une icône féminine de l'époque Yéyés au même titre que Sheila , Brigitte Bardot , Françoise Hardy, Sylvie Vartan et Jacqueline Taïeb .
