Something more to Yelle about

More Yelle! Getting ready for their new album on September 30th, which I've already pre-ordered.

This is promo video created for their 2011 Safari Disco Club tour, done in a style vaguely reminiscent of a TV5 Monde/France24 weather forecast.

OK, so we Americans are seen as sort of tacky-crazy, busy stuffing our faces with rich foods . . . or maybe we just know our pleasures and go for them without worrying what anyone else thinks.

But then there's the tribute to poor Sweden--putting together a Lack table in its honor.

Not sure I fully got the Danish, Norwegian, or Chilean references. The German one is a little creepy--but in a Cabinet of Doctor Caligari/Nosferatu kind of way.

In a word, formidable! We should all be this clever when promo-ing our own work.

Looks like for Tour 2014, Yelle is appearing just up the road in Cleveland. (Not Pittsburgh, naturellement.) I smell road trip . . . .

Nouvelle musique de Yelle. Et c'est trés, trés bonne!

My simple art

My Simple Art Mix (version II--new and improved) by Montagsonfire on Mixcloud

This is what I do with myself when, after weeks of work and travel, I finally have a free weekend.

Enjoy--or be very worried over the amount of time I spend on not doing housework and exercise.

Bon jour!

This is how I get ready for work every morning.

Commence countdown to Paris . . .

A couple of possible translations of the lyrics. Not for the easily offended!

Here's Take 1. And now here's Take 2.

Apparently, the Cuizinier referred to in the lyrics is a French rapper not admired for being a nice guy.

Nevertheless, it's got a good beat and is easy to dance to. The only criteria you need to enjoy.
