I love the days at work when my job consists of things like deciding how to describe Violent Femmes or whether a Serge Gainsbourg song is too sexy.

'Out Of Gas'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

or whether a Serge Gainsbourg song is too sexy.
Quick Insider Tip: The hit version of "Je T'aime...Mon Non Plus" was a duet with Jane Birkin, but the original recording was with Serge and Brigitte Bardot. He actually fingered her to orgasm in the recording booth while she recorded her vocals. Gen-u-wine audio porn.

Well, yeah, the answer to that question is usually yes.
This is the song in question: [link]
The actual lyrics (which are reasonably innocent for Serge) will not be printed in the text, there are just a couple of listening exercises. But, of course, some people might take offense at the "coffee color" theme. But it's Serge, and it's actually a song with easy lyrics for beginners, so it's hard to resist.

Quick question...
What's your favorite Music Blog?
I go through a lot (often just searching for particular music).
I do like Soundbites a lot, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ooh, they list the Crystal Stilts as #4 album of 2008. Awesome!

Uh oh. From the 33 1/3 blog:
You'll have to bear with us a little while longer, I'm afraid. There are some economy related goings-on here at Continuum, and I can't progress the 33 1/3 proposals any further until those are properly taken care of. Thank you for your continued patience, and your understanding. We'll have a further update on here next week, I hope.

Speaking of Serge G, I saw the other day that someone has remastered and rereleased Histoire de Melody Nelson.
