TODAY'S TRACK: SUR LA PLANCHE BY LA FEMME
Because for once, Frenchies aren't just good at electro and can actually create a perfect Lo-fi Surf pop tune! "Sur la Planche" by LA FEMME isn't even a joke. You can now try to sing along in french or just enjoy the great work the five piece band did without saying a word.
LUST FOR LIFE BY GIRLS
Yes, life is hard most of the time but there's a way out of it, an alternative: Hang out with your friends, have fun and make love. This is exactly what Christopher Owens, lead singer of the californian indie band GIRLS sings in "Lust for Life".
Do not just wait in vain for things to happen or cry on someone's shoulder whenever everything gets sad or dull. Just Live!
This typical indie tune should be the background of chasing good times or at least part of the possible soundtrack of your life.
It is defo not a Iggy Pop cover, but more of a mid tempo pop song with cool lyrics, propulsive guitars and just for a bit of fun, an harmonica.
It came on shuffle and I couldn't resist posting about it.
Enjoy the song that certainly gave GIRLS the success they deserve!

IS JUSTICE OUT ?!
It's already September and it seems like bands have been working their a** off all summer to give us some fresh sounds to dance on. Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah! just released a new album, Real Estate amazed us with their brand new tunes and Justice just got their new video out.
Except that working so long on a project doesn't always give the result you expect.
Yes, I am a huge fan of JUSTICE. Who isn't really? We all loved the great opera-disco tune "Dance" or the deep electro sounds of "Genesis".
But let me say that I've been well disapointed by the French Duo on their latest track and video called "Audio, Video, Disco".
It's like a dance rock tune that starts well for the first thirty seconds and end up by being a total mistery.
Kind of a "too easy-too lazy" track for the two talented Frenchies. The thing is that the song will probably manage to become a hit more than a miss simply because it's JUSTICE.
Light up keyboards, dogs and studio recordings are involved in the video but it's not making it any better!
I guess it must be hard to stay on top and keep producing massive hits for most of the artists, but if each track of your last album is gold, you literally have the duty to create something as good as the past one or even better.
Then again you can't really judge them on one song and they obviously are and will always be TrUe OuTsIdErs!
But someone tells me what happened to the old JUSTICE with crazy attitude, funk and cool beats?!
My prayers are going to Ed Banger Records!
Please Ed Banger, do something about it and don't let this happen again, thank you.
See for yourself anyway, as it's only my opinion and I'm a weirdo!
