interesting with a chick bathing in milk, blue feet, the guys dressed as roman centurions, huge hairy rotating heads, wolves, scared kids in black & white, hairy humanoids, gun-toting nick cave, one golden dude, and of course, beware of boobies

from their acoustic bookshop session
btw, here’s all of these, + a few more in a playlist

enfin l’été – adieu l’été
summer's over
no sooner have you sung enfin l’été & voilà l’été than it’s time for adieu l’été
still, no reason to complain, feel forlorn, despondent, or glum my chum, or — godsforbid — woebegone, this year we got 5 days of summer
that’s far above the average
so, let’s all sing along:
Les Négresses Vertes – Voilà l’été
Uploaded by rycko35. – See the latest featured music videos.
everybody now:
voilà l’été
voilà l’été
voilà l’été
voilà l’étévoilà l’été, j’aperçois le soleil
les nuages filent et le ciel s’éclaircît
et dans ma tête qui bourdonnent
les abeilles!
l’entends rugir les plaisirs de la vie
c’est le retour des amours
qui nous chauffent les oreilles
il fait si chaud
qui’il nous poussent des envies
c’est le bonheur rafraîchi d’un
cocktail
les filles sont belles et les dieux sont ravisenfin l’été
enfin l’été
enfin l’été
enfin l’étéenfin l’été,
mais y’a déjà plus d’argent
le tout paris se transformé en phobie
le métro sue tout devient purulent
dans ses souliers, le passager abruti
a dix doigts d’pied qui s’expriment
violemment
y’a plus d’amis les voisins sont partis
l’été paris c’est plutôt relaxant
on rêve de plage
et la seine est jolietoujours l’été
c’est pas du superflu
il fait trop chaud, le soleil m’abasour
dit
rillettes sous les bras
j’avance dans la rue
j’pense à ces cons qui s’font chier
dans l’midi
tous ces torches-culs qui vont cuire
dans leurs jus
tous ces noyés, la mer quel saloperie
et sur les routes les danger ca vous tue
vivement l’automne, je me sens tout aigritoujours l’été
toujours l’été
toujours l’été
toujours l’étévoilà l’été, j’aperçois le soleil
les nuages filent et le ciel s’éclaircit
et dans ma tête qui bourdonnent
les abeilles!
l# entends rugir les plaisirs de la vie
c’est le retour des amours
qui nous chauffent les oreilles
il fait si chaud
qui’il nous poussent des envies
c’est le bonheur rafraîchi d’un

enfin

is imperative when you’re doing a mini-hike to work through snow & sludge
tindersticks showering you with their depression doesn’t hurt either:
i had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
tindersticks – a night in
i had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
the path that you led
wasn’t straight to your bed
there’s no cots to sleep in
and you showed me
who i was running from
as if i had not known all alongoh my old feet
they know this hard street
stay like old friends
you’re flat on the ground
there’s no further down
there’s no cots to sleep in
so come in
leave them outside the door
tear off the paper
tear off the carpet
off the floorand i know you’re hurting
and i can’t be there for you
and i know you’re hurting
and i can’t be there no more
i had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
i had calluses, not sores
and i’d like to keep them
so go turn those sheets
get back on the street
there’s nothing more i can bring to you
see i’m scared of the door
afraid of the floor
well, i’ll go and walk right through
and i’ll show you
who i’ve been running from
it’s the feeling of waking
and it’s gonei had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
i had calluses, not sores
and i’d like to keep them
oh now your feet
they know this hard street
they’re like old friends
you’re flat on the ground
there’s no further down
there’s no cots to sleep in
so come in
leave them outside the door
tear off the paper
tear off the carpet
off the floori had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
i had calluses, not sores
and i’d like to keep them
so go turn those sheets
get back on the street
there’s nothing more i can bring to you
see i’m scared of the door
afraid of the floor
well, i’ll go and walk right through
and i’ll show you
who i’ve been running from
it’s the feeling of waking
and it’s gone
shame about the music
real cool video
shame about the music.
you might remember these guys as ‘the guys from the treadmill video’
so they’ll be known as the guys with the videos
they should call these short films & sell the songs as ‘the song from that short film …’

the two cyclists siggimus met were less than enthusiastic, the dude risked life & limb bravely (idiotically?) cycling on the slushy street & the dudette found that dragging the bike after her was easier than actually riding it
siggimus speaks mainly of song #3 on this thing, but all are definitely worth a listen:
fear of a female planet?
fear, baby!
i mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
from male white corporate oppression?
just the kool thing to orient you on a cold morning when sitting backwards on the bus makes you a bit disorientated
kool thing sittin’ with a kiddie
now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
like a lover not a dancer

i don’t wanna, i don’t think so
i don’t wanna, i don’t think sokool thing let me play it with your radio
move me, turn me on, baby-o
i’ll be your slave
give you a shave
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so
i don’t wanna, i don’t think soyeah, tell’em about it,
hit’em where it hurts
hey, kool thing, come here, sit down
there’s something i gotta ask you.
i just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
i mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
from male white corporate oppression?
tell it like it is!
huh?
yeah!
don’t be shy
word up!
fear of a female planet?
fear of a female planet?

kool thing sittin’ with a kiddie
now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
