His house was completely decorated in BLACK....walls, ceilings, the works. "For me, Black is not a colour! It is a value!" Now how familiar does that sound?

Mo problem, CD or Minidisc?

Hey the original version of Je T'Aime Mon Non Plus with Bardot is a lot better, really loving it. Brings a tear to my eye it's so good and takes me back when I first heard it as a kid (the Birkin version)
FranÃ§oise Hardy is bloody brilliant too! great album, fantastic music.

Know of anymore French people who make great music I need to know about? pref 60/70's stuff.

Arthur - not really any more names that spring to mind.

But - recently bought the DVD to the Pink Panther film, "A Shot in the Dark" and the soundtrack is brilliant. Really makes you want to reach for the Gitannes and get yer teath all filthy and black !

Well I eventually bought the double DVD 'D'autres nouvelles des Ã©toiles' which arrived today, bloody fantastic!
Why do I keep on thinking 'Stranglers' especially when I watch the 'Ballade De Melody Nelson Video'?

I think it's because of Serge dressed in Black, his voice, the colours (the red & black hearts) and that Bass!

Shame there is no 'Je T'aime'
Glad there is 'Bonny & Clyde' though, that is a huge fave, what a fantastic song.

Now then, 'Lemon Incest' what the fuck is that all about?
Serge on a bed with his daughter looking very dodgy!
