Sans Chemise (No More)…
La Compagnie Creole – Sans Chemise, Sans Pantalon (MP3)
This post is nothing but a blatant plug for a new little venture of mine. wearetuktuk is an on-line (soon to be in a few independent shops, hopefully) store which sells bespoke shirts and accessories that are heavily inspired by their surroundings. Take a look over at [...]
So Where Will You Be On Saturday Morning?
M83 – Kim & Jessie (MP3)
Whilst the John Hughes film soundtrack reference made in every review of M83’s new album ‘Saturdays = Youth’ might not be the product of the most insightful journalism (the press release does a good job of making it more than clear that that was what Anthony Gonzalez was going for), [...]
Balearic Love…
Chris Rea – Josephine (La Version Francaise) (MP3)
On inspection of our tag cloud “visual depicter” this morning, i was a little bit saddened to see that Indie was pulling all the punches in the battle of the bold. So, in a drastic attempt to re-align the Balearic to Indie ratio, what better way to [...]
And Not Just Because I Heart Erlend Øye
Whitest Boy Alive – Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix) (MP3)
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod… this is sooooooo good!
Rubicon co-making Frenchman Fred Falke remixes one of the best bits from the yet another can-this-man-do-no-wrong Erlend Øye project that is Whitest Boy Alive and IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS (I’m not sure that even putting it in capitals [...]

Meanwhile, In An Alternative Eurovision Universe

Sebastian Tellier – Divine (MP3)
Carlsberg don’t do cheesy pan-European pop competitions , but if they did, you couldn’t ask for anything more than this. Sebastian Tellier has been announced as France’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, with a track that has been produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo (better known as one half [...]
Take A Look In ‘Le Miroir’…
Laurent Voulzy – Le Miroir (MP3)
Unfortunately, the French singer/songwriter Laurent Voulzy is probably best known for one of two things -
1. His terrible, 1977 rock inspired pop medley, ‘Rockollection‘…
Or
2. His collaboration with the unbearably annoying Irish contingent, The Corrs…
The latter of the two cannot be helped (or forgiven). However, if you happen to own or [...]

on inspection of the fantastic cosmic disco website, i came across a fairly recent interview with mr monier of the micronauts. (actually, thinking about it, maybe ‘the micronaut’ is a little more apt, especially since george issakidis departed back in 2000. anyway, that’s a mere technicality, and no one [...]
