Fear of a French planet / Rearguard action in the post-punk wars.

The Nouvelle Vague CD arrived today.

It really is quite splendid and I commend you all to beetle off to the previously mentioned webshite and have a quick listen. I fear I'd best write something about it for Uncle Marcus.

Who's DJing Whitby? What coin am I going to have to pay to get the version of 'Marianne' played?

Was it Faith No More who provided the zydeco version of 'Let's lynch the landlord' on Virus 100? It's like that (y'all).

...

'Too drunk to fuck' as sung by giggling French totty is possibly the best thing in the entire world. Yes.

Do ya mean the joy divison one? If so its titled 'the eternal - variations on joy division' by the Nau ensemble (with a little \ on top of the a). Don't see it around much, i ddi see it in sister ray, but they claimed no knowledge of it whe i later asked them about it.

Looks to be available on Amazon (US). I'll have a listen, I think.

The Balanescu CD is dead good, mind.

i read that Siobhan Fahay (ex shakesspears sister??) has a new cover of She's lost control out, but only on 12" single... not a format for the future... if it were good i'd probs pick it up though...
