[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] TRACK: Belles! Belles! Belles!
ARTIST: Claude François
ALBUM: Belles! Belles! Belles! (1962) ...

wanted to post something french in honor of our performance of ‘the scarlet pimpernel’ this weekend. i decided on this one b/c it represents a huge hole in my music knowledge where international music history should be. i’ll be honest: before i dj’ed my little brother’s wedding, i had never heard of claude françois. but my brother’s wife (who is french) requested it, and as soon as i put it on, the place went nuts. and not just the french people. apparently i’m the only person in the world who didn’t know this song. typical.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] TRACK: Short And Entertaining
ARTIST: Jamaica
ALBUM: Short And Entertaining EP (2010)

a snappy little tune i found on a kitsune maison compilation. which, if you’re into electronic music, offer a pretty expertly curated sampling of what’s going on that part of the music world. highly recommend them. -d

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] TRACK: Lasso (Two Door Cinema Club Remix)
ARTIST: Phoenix
ALBUM: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (Remix Collection) (2009) ...

on the always sound advice of the launderetters, bought some rad orchestra tix today to see phoenix in san diego in september. can’t risk a repeat of last year’s h.bowl heartbreak. -d

*also people have been hyping these two door cinema club kids all over the place. and truthfully, i’m not really buying it. they did, however, do a bang-up job on the remix, which at the very least gives us reason to hope for awesomer things in the future.
