re charge

sometimes you just need to sit back and mellow away, allow yourself to let go, drift away with your thoughts. and be assured you will come back fair and fine, a little more peaceful, and easy.

swedeland

last month dazed and confused described her as the 'nordic musical wunderkind' who wiled away her youth 'writing poetry and ballet dancing on top of portugese mountains to the strains of madonna's immaculate collection'. and after buying lykke li's debut album, youth novels, yesterday- i smiled. the 21-year-old swedish fledgling's certainly got the right sound. hazy, harmonic- full of variety. and mystical; a voice with that edge that just makes you wonder and amaze, float and run, grin and giggle. support her and buy it too, brighten up your weekend .

hullo: the spring collective

i've noticed, in old books (as in 1920s sorta thing not actually old-just old for me) that people greet each other saying 'hullo' as opposed to our clever modern 'hello'. curious, no?

so i havent done much postting last few weeks, BUTTTTTTT i have been to barcelona which was pretty amazing and i will try and make up with a big lot of special songs to put a spring in your step.

dans la fume

the 'golden' age of french music was born in the 1920s, the age of art deco and the height of french romanticism. mistinguett's 'je cherche un millionaire', toulouse-lautrec's 'la goulue' and paris' 'tour eiffel', had become symbols of the freedom of europe, a freedom embodied by the new music it brought to life. through both world wars and into the 1950s the sound of the likes of jacques brel, georges brassens, charles trenet and lucienne boyer carried on playing. now it needs to be reheard and relived, because it is special stuff, it will take you back to the days of 'lady and the tramp', lucky you.

unknown - paris, c'est vrai
jacques brel - comme toujours
georges brassens - le petit cheval blanc
jacques brel - ne me quitte pas
