[ download ] [tweetmeme] After releasing a couple of EPs over the past four years, Princeton made their full-length debut in late September with Cocoon of Love . The band has its roots in Santa Monica, California, where twin brothers Jesse & Matt Kivel met Ben Usen as kids. During a year spent together in London, the trio decided to parlay their longstanding friendship into a musical endeavor, adding drummer David Kitz to the lineup upon their return to Los Angeles. Their collaboration has yielded a brand of indie-pop that [...]
"Heaven Can Wait," the first single from Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck's upcoming album IRM , due January 26, now comes equipped with a video. And boy, is it insanely out-there in a way that's even unusual for the daughter of Serge Gainsbourg and the man who once sang, "Milk the kids, Polaroid cupcake, take it to the limit, new wave biscuit." The clip can best be explained as a series of moments, each seemingly set in reality but featuring out-of-place details. So: what appears to be a normal scene of a cop chasing [...]
French actress/singer Charlotte Gainsbourg , daughter of Serge, has essentially written an entire album inspired by the frequent MRI's she had following a water skiing accident in 2007. The album, titled IRM (French for MRI), was produced and co-written by Beck, who also makes an appearance in the very impressive new video for the first single "Heaven Can Wait". IRM is due January 26th via Because/Elektra.
Another video of the Gainsnord -presentation in Paradiso. You can see me hosting the night, see Serge van Duijnhoven performing his great (Dutch) poem about Gainsbourg and the lovely, lovely Geraldine singing Chatterton with West Hell 5 .
There is something dreamy and a little steamy about disco duo The Golden Filter, so it should come as no surprise that they're fans of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. They also know some cool stuff about lightning. Find out more after the jump.

Happy Birthday Lysergic acid diethylamide – 71 today! LSD was first synthesized on 16 November 1938 by Dr. Albert Hofmann at Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland. 5 years later, he accidentally ingested an unknown quantity of the chemical, and felt a bit funny – he had discovered that LSD had psychedelic properties. He also learned to never bite his fingernails in the lab without washing his hands first. In 1943, Hofmann intentionally ingested the chemical as an "experiment", he freaked out on the cycle ride home, and [...]

Voici la bande annonce d'un film qui est attendu avec impatience par de nombreuses personnes. Il s'agit du biopic sur la vie de Serge Gainsbourg réalisé par Joan Sfar. Sortie en salle le 10 janvier prochain.
There's nobody cooler. Holy shit, I remember when I actually went and read the translated lyrics he wrote. What a legend. Yet another reason I need to learn french.
The first full trailer for Joann Sfar's biopic Serge Gainsbourg (vie héroïque) launched yesterday, and—what a shocker—there's a naked chick in the first twelve seconds. The French-language promo video's opening scene depicts the late musician's childhood, in which he smokes liberally and sketches a nude model. Gainsbourg gets older as the trailer progresses, but one thing never changes: he always has a cigarette in one hand and a beautiful woman in the other. There are lieges of topless, interchangeable Lolita-esque (or, more appropriately, Melody Nelson-esque) girls, but Gainsbourg's lovers and sometimes-collaborators Jane Birkin [...]
This NSFW French-language trailer (via TwentyFourBit ) for Joann Sfar's Serge Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life makes us want to see the film. Mainly because Eric Elmosnino seems to inhabit Gainsbourg the way Sam Riley made like Ian Curtis in Control . Also: Nudity.
How much can you tell about a French-language film from a trailer without subtitles? As it turns out, quite a bit. The first previews for the forthcoming biopic Serge Gainsbourg : A Life Heroic have cropped up , and guess what? I can't understand a damn thing that's being said in them. But I can tell you this: It seems the film will tackle the story of the famous and controversial musician's entire life, from childhood through death. And it will involve saturated colors, lots of cigarettes... and, most of all, a cast of shapely [...]
Check out the first trailer for Joann Sfar's biopic about musical French icon Serge Gainsbourg, Serge Gainsbourg: Vie Héroïque ("A Life Heroic"). It's in French, but it looks awesome. Read more about the film on The Playlist.

Si en su anterior disco, "5:55" , Charlotte Gainsbourg había trabajado con colaboradores de la talla de Air y Jarvis Cocker (entre otros); esta vez la hija del emblemático Serge Gaainsbourg trabaja codo a codo con el mismísimo Beck . El disco se llama "IRM" y Beck las hace de productor y principal colaborador. De hecho, en el primer single, titulado "Heaven can wait" , ya se puede apreciar que tal la mezcla entre ambos. "Heaven can wait" [...]
La scène indépendante française est comme une malle remplie de trésors... C'est précisément dans cette malle que j'ai découvert Vanessa Chassaigne et ses chansons d'amour et de plage... L'amour est son fer de lance, sa raison de vivre. Elle le distille dans ses compositions douces amères, aussi épurées qu'agréables à écouter, influencées par la pop des 60's / 70's... J'aime son timbre de voix particulier imméditement reconnaissable parmi tant d'autres, et comme chez Streetkiss, on prône également l'amour et la tendresse, je n'ai pas pu résister à lui proposer ce 31ème Kool Kiss...

In this video , already posted by Guuzbourg a few days ago, you can catch a glimpse at Mathias Malzieu and French indie artists Dionysos playing the immortal Nazi Rock for the upcoming Serge Gainsbourg, vie héroïque movie. Malzieu is also a talented writer: In his dark fantasy novel + accompanying album La mécanique du cœur young, cuckoo-clock hearted Jack is taught several things by the prostitute Luna (voice by Spanish actress Rossy de Palma), among them the nice Latin word Cunnilingus – for innocent Jack just the right choice for [...]
