Soirée this Saturday

Bonjour la classe, 

you are cordially invited to attend L'Amour Electronique this Saturday 26 July 2008.  

It takes place at The Penthouse, upstairs at The Freebutt, Phoenix Place, Brighton.

We will be there from 8pm until 1am, and there will be music and visuals, plus drinking and maybe some dancing if there is space.

we should also mention that drinks are cheap, and entry is free.

Well, are you 'In', or are you 'Out'?

Serge Gainsbourg - Qui est 'In', Qui est 'Out'?

Vive la Révolution

Sarah found this book The French Revolution a few years ago in a charity shop. It’s an illustrated children’s book from a series called the Hamish Hamilton history library. She brings it every month to L’Amour Electronique and we always make sure we show off the gory illustrations at any opportunity.

Mister Bookish, the guillotine…
Simon Bookish – O Guillotine

Here comes Holy Fuck’s chopper to chop off your head…
Holy Fuck – Choppers
Maybe they’ll stick it on a spike and parade around the streets with it.

France’s modern day national anthem La Marseillaise was the rallying call of the French Revolution and received its name because it was first sung by volunteers, who had marched from Marseille, upon their arrival on the streets of Paris. B.B. also marched to it in the opening of her 1968 end-of-year show for French TV
Brigitte Bardot - Marseillaise Générique


Serge recorded his own reggae version of the French national anthem in 1978. It earned him serious death-threats from the extreme-right, affronted by the appropriation of a symbol of their national pride (I reckon I might be a bit miffed too if one of my favourite songs was given a reggae makeover). It also gave him his biggest selling record to date. A couple of years later he almost bankrupted himself buying the original manuscript of La Marseillaise “it was a question of honour” he said.
Serge Gainsbourg - Aux Armes et Cætera

a short post about Charity Shops and Space Disco

Yesterday I had a little of my faith restored in charity shops.  I can't remember the last time I got anything good in one, but whilst trawling the ones in Eastbourne, I unearthed an odd little gem:

The 1977 space disco LP Magic Fly by French electronicists SPACE. 

And the best thing was: it was reduced from £1.00 to 50p. C'est fantastique!

I've not had a chance to listen to it yet, but here they are in all their 70's astronautical glory:
Space - Magic Fly

And while I'm in a French-y/space-y mood here's another one, in the form of:
The Droids - The Force

hmm, maybe next week I'll find a Droids record in a Bexhill-on-Sea charity shop...
