Ready for another trip to the Moon

The almighty French wizards are back! 10 years ago, Air were releasing a masterpiece called Moon Safari and to celebrate in style are spoiling us with a Deluxe edition simply called Moon Safari 2008, oddly enough!

They are also created a new website to record fans' memories of the launch...

To give you an appetizer, here is Bossa, a rare demo.

Remember to support the artist, buy their work on iTunes or Amazon.

It takes a miracle!

The only way France could win the Eurovision contest in Belgrade, Serbia on the 24th of May this year, is by pulling a miracle!

And who else is better positioned than Sébastien Tellier, with such a Jesus look!

You got it, the French electropiano maestro will sing Divine and try to beat the odds!

France is currently at 15/1 which has been shortening.

If you come back, I cancel everything...

Whether the text message that Mister President Sarkozy sent to his former wife, one week before getting married with Miss Bruni is true or not, well at least, it gave inspiration to Jeanne Cherhal. So much so that one fine morning in her little town in Brittany, as she was getting up, she wrote that song: Si tu reviens...

Its a love song really, not a piss take so leave her alone!!!

It's time for sexuality

Sébastien Tellier's new album is out and about, 4 weeks before its official release!

That's a very eclectic mixture as expected! There are some piano ballads obviously, some of which reminds me of L'Incroyable Vérité, his début album. There are some rather electro tracks with a lot of intensity, I dubbed this as electropiano! There is also one track that Seb has been playing in various concerts for years now, I loved it live, I love it even more, it's called Une Heure...it's time for sexuality indeed!

Yo! Blast Mon Blog

I know I know, I should have said Blast My Blog! But blogging is such a popular hobby in France nowadays, I reckon half the popluation is blogging...but its no surprise really when you know that there is probably the best broadband in Europe over here. If its not the case, one cannot argue that the French are the most opinionated people. "We Are Terrorists" are just paying hommage to that trait of character of ours, on behalf of France, thank you guys and...Blast Mon Blog!

Richard Ashcroft in the studio

Happy Nu Year Musique fans!!

I have dugg a very special for you, well if you fancy indie rock made in Britain in general, and Richard Ashcroft in particular. As you know, Richie used to be the front man of the Verve before he started a somewhat successful solo career.

I have been following him though and had the chance to attend one of his live recording at Radio Forth studios in Edinburgh, UK.
Here is the best track for you, its called Check The Meaning, but remember to handle with care as this is unreleased material!

...and the 2007 winners are:

- Para One who produced an amazing OST for the French movie: La Naissance des Pieuvres a teens flix about love in and around swimming pools...

- Laure Manaudou who is undoubtedly the French star of the swimming pools but whose private photies have been splashing the web yesterday...as well as her dignity!

For a joint French splash, we recommend you listen to "Finale" from the aforementioned OST and then browse the pix for what could become the wettest combination of 2007!
