Charlotte is back

who doesn t know Serge Gainsburg, the old french pervert? back in the past he made a duo with his own daughter Charlotte, pretty incestuous attempt i d say...charming:)



Well, this lovely girl grew up into a great artist=songwriter=actress=singer

Her first album 5:55 came out in 2006 and got critical acclaim to be one of the best albums in that year. The guys from AIR produced it. it s a really touching album, maybe too sweat for some ears. i liked it...



in meantime she acted in Michel Gondry's Science of Sleep, Bob Dylan movie Im not there and in 2009 she won the Best Actress award at Cannes.. in that movie she played a histerical sexually disturbed wife of William Dafoe..there s one actually mesmorizing scene in which she masturbated underneath a big tree..after the film i was listening to 5:55 album and could n t listen to her the same way i was listening before.. she was n t the sweet little Charlotte anymore..
her new album, produced by Beck, called IRM sheds a completely different light on our Charlotte..she is nasty, serious, scary and still real...great pop album



The highlight of the album fur mich ist die nachste Song ;))
enjoy the new dirty Charlotte!!

Siouxsie and the Banshees

there are old bands that i miss out sometimes.. one of those are Siouxsie and the Banshees..
As kid I watched Batman Returns every day on VHS..at the end of the movie there s a love scene with genius Catwoman and Batman, the song in the background inserted into my ears back then, i was always wondering who sings it...last Sat i watched Batman again ( it was even better than i recalled, masterpiece, thank you mr Burton!!) and then i looked for the song, it was this one:



what a pop song!! drama, intrigue, catsssssss, miaouuuuuuuu

i downloaded the whole discography of this 20 year lasting post-punk band. Their second album Kaleidoscope is my favorite, with this single Red Light



quite neat and sexy, aint?

the next single is Christine, a song refered to Christine from the magnificent Christine F.'s book We children from the Zoo Station



Christine-the strawberry girl
Christine-banana split lady
Christine-the strawberry girl
Christine sees her faces unfurl

the guitarist from The Cure joined them in this second LP and stayed there for couple of years

This one is also contagious



We’ve come to scream in the happy house we’re in a dream in the happy house
We’re all quite sane ( in the video they are looooomieeeee)))



ahhhh there are plenty of more videos and singles but i ll write some more in the later post....
be good and nasty!!!
