What a voice Trenet had I heard that he would only sing songs he actually wrote, but I'm not sure if that's true. I think the Hulot association comes from mixing all things French in my head. When I was studying film I spent a considerable time on the Nouvelle Vague and watched ridiculous amounts of French cinema - Truffaut, Godard, Chabrol etc - but I only came to Tati later on, so it's a lot more vivid in my head
yes, he's one of those people i think i would have loved to meet (and tati as well). they called him "le fou chantant" (the singing madman) which is a good sign if you ask me. i don't know whether he only sang his own songs but i wouldn't be surprised.

i came this close >< to knowing him : one of the short films in that dvd is a short film he made for his brother's birthday, in which all his brother's friends play parts. as i was watching it i thought to myself "wow, it's unbelievable how much that guy looks like my friend milou" (a musician friend i used to be pretty close to but whom i had lost sight of a while before). at the end of the film all the participants were shown with their names and lo and behold, the name with the guy who looked just like my friend milou was in fact émile ! who knows, if i hadn't lost sight of milou a few years ago, i might be having dinner with michel gondry... (damned !)

There's a better version of it (cleaner sound) on Cibo Matto's first album Viva! La Woman (all the songs are food themed )

I'm testing my new headphones, and finding that they make me drool... I remember my mother mentioning she had the same problem, years and years ago. I think it has something to do with where they rest on my jaws, but I can't find a way to adjust them

So, I'm listening to one of my mother's (yes, her again) favorite singers, Eva. She was never very well-known I 'm afraid. She is a French singer of German origin.

http://www.musicme.com/Eva/albums/De...119707226.html

The song "Ni Ophélie, ni Lorelei" is responsible for my youngest sister's name. They hesitated between both names, and finally settled for Ophélie

And my personal favorite, I think, is "L'homme blanc dans l'église noire".

Sorry, couldn't find any Youtube clips

Oh, but that's not the worst they can do. I'm sure we all have horror stories about e-mails

And only morons, puppy-punchers and kitten-kickers could hate superfast jellyfish, surely?

I wish you hadn't posted that. Now I'm hungry for some nuked jellyfish with a side order of seaweed.
