Chanson Du Jour 10/6/16

Bertrand Belin avec Camélia Jordana: “Le Mot Juste”
Great duet vocals, great overall vibe. Nearly as cool as Sinatra/Hazelwood’s “Some Velvet Morning.” I can’t stop playing it.

If you think there

If you think there is better for you

Go

If it costs you to see a road

Without borrow

Go

We forget you

We can do that

But for now

To our happiness

Prepare thy farewell

You want

There’s nothing here for a party

Only the beautiful gesture
Only the right word

Prepare thy farewell

You want

We look dear friend

Only the beautiful gesture
Only the right word

If you think there

The rain does not wet

People like you

Go

If you think there

Dogs do not bark

On people like you

Go

We forget you

It is known to do that

But for now

To our happiness

Prepare thy farewell

You want

There’s nothing here for a party

Only the beautiful gesture
Only the right word

We look dear friend

Only the beautiful gesture
Only the right word

Prepare thy farewell

You want

There’s nothing here for a party

Only the beautiful gesture
Only the right word

The Limiñanas “The Darkside”

“The first ten seconds of the first song, “The Darkside,” on the Limiñanas’ self-titled debut album tells you everything you need to know about the band and the record right away. Simply put, if you think the idea of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin backed by the Velvet Underground and produced by Liam Watson is a good one, you’re going to love this band and this record.”- All Music

I’m bañanas over the Limiñanas!

One of my new favorite bands of the Summer 2016 are The Limiñanas. Lionel Limiñanas and his drummer/vocalist/wife Marie own a record shop “Vinyl Maniac” in Perpignan,France – not far from the border of Spain on the Mediterranean coast. They’ve released four groovy albums, each of which I have been devouring on Spotify. Their sound combines French pop, garage,electronic and psychedelia with lyrics sung in English, French and Italian (why no Spanish, Lino?) I detect some Mekons influence, but maybe because I love the Mekons and detect their influence everywhere, including a recent baptism I attended.

The Limiñanas are playing La Cigale in Paris on September 29th. Let’s find a way to get there. Come with me!
