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.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
