Hey Liz. Missed this Brother JT set somehow, fantastic. |
![]() |
![]() Whoa epic! |
![]() |
![]() Wolf Eyes was amazing Saturday, a little bit of metal has fallen in their cauldron. |
![]() |
![]() Ooh, how was the rest of that Wolf Eyes show on Sat, NGH? Had too many obligations to make it out there. |

Cheri ! | |

![]() Jeezy! |
![]() |
![]() Sadly, I only got there in time for Wolf Eyes. They had an amazing subwoofer that spewed bass pulses that contorted everyone's viscera. |
![]() |
![]() diving into this pool of Subaqueous Aerobics--wonderful! |
![]() |
![]() what a super fat beginning. yes !!!!!!!! |
![]() |
![]() Yeah PE! That record isn't that bad actually. It kinda sucks as an album because Chuck D repeats himself too much, but it features really great moments. |

![]() Liz, I just listened to your premium yesterday. Great stuff there! I think my fave was Debo Band, but the whole CD is a keeper for sure |

I remember that Jason Sigal played a lot of "Alaclair Ensemble"… I like it | |
![]() |
![]() Love Alaclair Ensemble! More here: freemusicarchive.org... |

![]() I'm late! Please indulge a little belated KUUUUUUUUUUPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!! |
![]() |
![]() @pierre: what might be one of the last gigs ever at la miroiterie: poutchmusique.com Massicot are really good, well worth checking out And here's a pet project of mine: fr-fr.facebook.com... Late notice, but show up if you want to see me sporting what could be an embarrassing T-shirt out of context |
![]() |
![]() i'm with you, liz. HATE mondays. some good things about it, though. |
![]() |
![]() B23 here! Stayed home sick so play something soothing and nurturing. Or play whatever you were already going to play. It's all good! |
![]() |
![]() hooray Liz Berg my hero |
![]() |
![]() The only thing worse than Mondays are Monday mornings. Liz, you should get a medal of freeform or someting |
![]() |
![]() Oh, this is gothy! |
![]() |
![]() Ha ha, was just thinking I was getting a bit unintentionally gothy! |

Westcoast!! Was at Rockaway yesterday pretending I was on the westcoast, so this song fits. |
![]() |
![]() aw man, gotta hit the archives later for amEdeo & dig that Opale set. They'll be down here this friday, should be a kick. |
![]() |
![]() Feel better B23. Gothy set came just in time for you, I think you got too much sunlight yesterday. |
![]() |
![]() I was actually at Afropunk Fest yesterday. I saw Death play. Wowzers. |

pierre:
Merci Fred ! I'll try and be there, a good way to face the "rentrée" | |

KP:
Hey, Liz. | |
![]() |
![]() Go JEEZY! how was it? |
![]() |
![]() It was pretty awesome, Cheri! The magic of Detroit remains intact with these dudes... |
![]() |
![]() That lil' mini Absolut I dumped in my Sprite didn't hurt. |
![]() |
![]() Pierre or Fred, is "rentrée" the word you guys use for when everyone returns to Paris at the end of August? |
![]() |
Mon. 8/26/13 10:26am
pocket vito:
Oui c'est la rentrée! |
![]() |
![]() @Liz: Yep. Actually it's the French equivalent to back-to-school, but we seem to have trouble growing up |
![]() |
![]() Ms 23 and I frequently use "rentrée" to refer to the hazy period after awaking from a nap. |

@Jeezy - went to Afropunk on Saturday and saw the Heavies. BOY the stylee people there were too much! Such great people watching, wish I had my camera, but that would make me seem like a creeper. |

I think the best time to travel in France is after the rentrée. Things settle down, and it's not a zoo in the south. |
![]() |
![]() New favorite word: rentrée! Perfect use, B23! |
![]() |
![]() βrian nailed it: If you want to visit Southern France, do avoid July and August. Locals will be friendlier, and you will save an arm or a leg. |
![]() |
![]() @RTD: do go and see them, and introduce yourself. Pierre would be thrilled |
Mon. 8/26/13 10:40am
pierre:
@ RTD : Say hi to them for me ! (that live set was very nice) @ Liz : I conccur with all that has been said. Ususally it's called "rentrée des classes", often shortened as "rentrée" | |
![]() |
![]() Honestly I didn't know it was a french word. We pronounce it "re-entry" as in descending from a high orbit. It works, though, doesn't it? My mom was a french teacher when I was a child, though, so there are all kinds of french words and pronunciations in my vocabulary that must have come from that. |
![]() |
![]() @ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ Ooooh nice! Yeah it's a great area. I use the pool right there all the time. The people watching was indeed a treat. I was doin' mad creepin, as the kids say! |
![]() |
![]() ! Lovin you the most |
![]() |
![]() @B23: it works, actually it improves it @RTD: don't miss the opening band, BCBG is great too |
![]() |
![]() This is Liarsy, I like it. |
Mon. 8/26/13 10:48am
pierre:
@ B23 : I like your definition better | |
![]() |
![]() Will do, Fred/Pierre. I'll be opening for the opening, so with luck they won't all run out of there & become violently ill. |
![]() |
![]() revive them, with vivarin and smelling salts RTD, if they do flee. Revivree. |
Mon. 8/26/13 10:51am
pierre:
@RTD : if only i could be there… i'd attach them | |
![]() |
![]() Ha ha, perfect, Cheri Pi! |
![]() |
![]() I think one morning Liz should show up and just put on one of those NOW! 2013 Pop hit compilations. It would be interesting to see the reactions. |
![]() |
![]() FOXX! |
![]() |
![]() Revivree: returning to a show after you've fled. |
![]() |
![]() @RTD: try to set aside some time to chat with them. They're people worth knowing, they could be precious if you come back to Paris someday, and they're just worth knowing. Especially Mariette, don't miss that chance, both of you could grow from such an encounter. |

@RTD : …And i'm pretty sure they'll enjoy your sounds too. Specially Samuel (from BCBG) | |

![]() Zola Jesus = Siouxsie in white. Totally must see |

fred von helsing:
Siouxsie in white, to a first approximation, yes |
Mon. 8/26/13 11:05am
KP:
This is good | |
![]() |
![]() good morning, all you tastemakers |
![]() |
![]() @pierre: totally agree, but a RTD/Mariette collab could blow minds. Mine at least |
![]() |
![]() ...and here's the traditional time when I insert myself in a playlist conversation to plug some photos. Because I've got some of Opale and BCBG when they were at the station, starting right here: www.flickr.com... ...and continuing to the right. |
![]() |
![]() hey KP - do I remember seeing you post that you had both of those French Girl singers of the 1960's comps? If so, do you prefer one over the other? |
![]() |
![]() PUPPY. |
Mon. 8/26/13 11:09am
pierre:
@Fred : I agree :) i'd go for anything Mariette's collaborating with. And I'd go for RTD's sounds anytime of the day… so yes, you're right | |
Mon. 8/26/13 11:10am
pierre:
@ Jeff : you're photos are great ! (just a beautiful reminder of how much I would have loved to accompany my friends there) | |
![]() |
![]() @FVH: that was my first thought on seeing her (meaning Zola Jesus) I may be totally misguided, it wouldn't be the first time. Anyway Zola Jesus is totally must-see. She's going to be too expensive for me in the future, I'm glad I could see her when I could afford it |
![]() |
![]() Thanks, @pierre! Everybody was friendly and didn't seem too annoyed I was in there, which always helps. |

![]() wow thanks fred/pierre - Outstanding shots Jeff... |
![]() |
![]() Good morning Liz and people of popularity. Has anyone commented yet on Miley Cyrus' performance last night? No? GOOD! |
![]() |
![]() Miley who? |
![]() |
![]() @Carmichael - my wife mentioned to me that the FB world was all lit up last night about the VMA's....makes me glad I don't have cable, otherwise she might have turned it on to see what the fuss was about. |

@RTD: You know: Cyrus. The Persian king. |
![]() |
![]() @Jeff: does that mean there's a BCBG set in the station's future? That would be awesome |
![]() |
![]() Googled for a list of historical Persian kings. By far I prefer the name Zabshali [c. 2050 - c. 2000 BC]. I will name all my dozens of non-existant children Zabshali. |
![]() |
![]() Ya, I have kids, so I have cable. Just walked by and saw an appalling routine. But, I guess, they ALL are, right? And I couldn't go outside because the State is on fire. |

βrian:
But I *have* been to Kalamazoo. |
![]() |
![]() @RTD: name your children whatever you want. First you have to play nearby. I don't care what happens later. You have friends around here, and are running out of excuses |
![]() |
![]() HAH! Fred.. Persistent unemployment is the best excuse there is. (been working temporary contract projects for a year to maintain the curried gluten supply, but can't budget too much fun stuff... |
![]() |
![]() BELUGA! This is freaking wonderful. |
![]() |
![]() @pierre: you'd better tell me about it beforehand then. I usually avoid trouble's show, too French for me. It's when I catch up with Billy Jam |

![]() Cool show. Playing it loud in the office -- nobody else here. Not looking forward to NYC's rentrée, which means the boss comes back. |
Mon. 8/26/13 11:42am
pierre:
I don't know when, I'll tune in for the next show if I were you, just to check… but i'll ask DJ Trouble to be sure | |
![]() |
![]() @RTD: I'm not happy about it, but that's a good excuse. All the better because I can support you without second thoughts. I'd still like to get seriously plastered with you some day. Doesn't seem likely if we wait until we're both rich/solvent. Let's work on plan B. |

Liz, you are making my Mondays worthy of looking forward to... Listening from Berlin, online. | |

![]() |
![]() fred: deal! THIS VERMA THING WORKS. ALL-CAPS-WORTHY. |
