I love Pauline Croze’ new Bossa Nova record. Hope to see her in Paris next week!

Emma Stone’s SNL Dance to Camille
Love this Saturday Night Live “Les Jeunes de Paris” skit – updating the dance scene from Godard’s “Band of Outsiders.”
Emma Stone is nearly as cute as Anna Katrina, and Camille’s song “Ta Douleur” kicks some serious fr’ass!
Camille, who has been called France’s answer to Bjork, recorded her debut album “Le Sac des Filles” in 2002. While her first album remains her best, everything I’ve heard from her since is at very least interesting, and occasionally magnificent.

Bande à Part (1964) – Dance Scene
In less than 10 days, we’ll be in Paris – the City of Lights. Will we meet up with Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina dancing The Madison in a Paris cafe?
Peut être.
We will certainly encounter Jim DeLillo and his lovely ballerina/wife Shirley in the south of France, where our friends have vacationed in the small village of Venasque for the past 20 years.
Can’t wait.

Albert Brooks et Cabrel
I love this scene from Broadcast News (1987) featuring my favorite comic actor, Albert Brooks. The song he is singing is “Edition Speciale” by the French singer Francis Cabrel. Linda and I have tickets to see Cabrel perform at the Festival de Nimes at an ancient Roman amphitheatre that was constructed in 70AD.
