Mais comment font-ils pour ne pas rigoler ???

Mozart himself would have loved it

Ultra kitsch Veneziano-disco-indie-cutups eighties style medley of several famous opera tunes, by corean artist Kimera, whose daughter Mélodie was kidnapped in 87. Hear the orchestra, feel the sexy humms, listen to Bizet's lyrics of Carmen sung in french with a lovely "r rolling" accent, smile to the many bass slaps and electronic drum breaks, but most of all, forget your snobism and enjoy the beautiful voice of Kimera the Great !

The Black Cupboard Nuggets & Rarities #3 - Pop Concerto Orchestra

Today we have a not so rare (in France) 7" record from a old french band. Pop Concerto Orchestra was created in Paris in the 70's by Olivier Toussaint and Paul de Senneville, who were producers and composers of french pop at the time. Senneville was the owner of a small record label, Disc AZ. They created another band called Anarchic System. Throughout the 70's and 80's they had many hits with music for TV commercials, songs for french singers like Michel Polnareff or clowns like Richard Clayderman.
I have been listening to Pop Concerto Show on my parents K7 tapes since I was 3 or 4. It was really nice to find the vinyl and discover the B-side, Elga, which is great as well, more in a melancholico-kitsch style of great effect.

Dig it !!

The Black Cupboard Nuggets & Rarities #1 !!! - Donna Summer

There is a black cupboard in my living room, down there in Lyon, France. It is full of old vinyls. I thought I might be a crate-digger in my own place and let you enjoy a couple of these gems of mine... So these are the Black Cupboard Nuggets & Rarities series !!

I would like to start things off with a cover of Serge Gainsbourg's Je t'aime moi non plus by Donna Summer. The track was produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. It was part of the original soundtrack from the movie "Thank God It's Friday", and it was released on Casablanca Records in 1978. I cut the track in two parts as the original version is 15'45"...
Dig it !
