Year: 2008

Top Montagne has just released Laïka Bielka Strelka, a new record with 11 tracks. You can download it for free on Les Diks qui Sautent.

With this record, I still think Top Montagne is one of the most original French bands. They use musical saw, melodica, toy piano, omnichord, sing in Italian, French, English, Russian, thus creating a unique feeling.

A review on Lost At E Minor compares A Matter Of Scale with early Velvet Underground and states it is “more optimistic than Lou Reed”.

Thank you Mr Andrews.

Henry Sparrow posted a wonderful new song (Ruff Parade) on his MySpace page.

I don’t know what a “calm” interview is supposed to be like, but here is one (thank you Frédéric).

Michael Wookey plays tomorrow night (February, 27th) at Le Vieux Léon (8:30 pm) in Paris.

He’s got an extraordinary album out, called You Shield Me From Darkness.

On Thursday, February 28th 2008 at 9pm (Paris time, GMT+1), four members of The Limes (we wish Brent Ballantyne was here too!) will be featured on L’Ampli, a show on Radio Campus Paris.

You can listen to the show on the radio (93.9 FM) if you are in or around Paris. Otherwise, you can listen to it on the Internet, and anyway, after the session, it will be downloadable here.

The Muzzart webzine published a review of A Matter Of Scale today.

Thank you Amenina.

In my constant quest to support the gay and lesbian community, I took part in this TV show called Gaytare Voix. To watch it, go to the Public G website, choose Emissions, then Gaytare Voix, then Les Diffusions, and then Gaytare Voix avec Orouni.

I didn’t really know what to say when I was interviewed, I forgot lyrics when I sang Open It In May, played wrong chords on Kiss The Flower, but fortunately, the show was led by Adrien Viot, a nice fellow.

Please watch the show if you want to have fun

Signalons la sortie du très beau premier album de Benjamin Fincher : Ellis Island.
