Top of the (French) Pops 2
Ladies and jellybeans...It's time for DJ Nico's top 5 round up! If you missed the first episode - WHERE WERE YOU?!?! - click here to repent for your sins.
And for all of you TOTP geeks, well done for spotting the clever link we have intentionally made between this second blog and the mixture of the old and the new (much like TOTP 2 in the good old days).
*Mind blown*
Pass me the chives, because Mr Cabbage Head (his words, not mine) Serge Gainsbourg is in at number 5.
DJ Nico, the music librarian at the Institut français don't ya know, has picked the album with only 40 songs. Which means that it will take you, on average, 2 hours to listen to the album in one sitting. So, slam down that laptop (who needs iPlayer anyway, Eastenders can wait) and get Gainsbourging.
Move your mouse over here then click once to listen to Gainsbourg's sultry voice.
If you haven't seen 'Belleville Rendez-Vous', then I will hate you forever. If you have, then you may continue to read this blog...because in a number four gimmie a roar for Django Reinhardt. I guess DJ Nico is a proper fan (the album contains 58 tracks).
Guide that white arrow to this link and then try playing the guitar with your feet.
Time to pee? No, no, no, because we have number three: Boubacar Traoré. After a cheeky stalk on his Wikipedia page, this dude's nickname is Kar Kar, aka the one who dribbles too much. I know what you're thinking - "get a bib!" - but you are mistaken my friend. Dribbling as in football, or soccer if you're American.
You know the drill, click here to feed your ears.
Second place is second best, and for Benjamin Diamond that is the case I'm afraid. Dig up those glow sticks (but hold back on the fluorescent leg warmers) because it's time for roof-raising, fist-pumping, house music. Stop what you're doing - except the breathing part - and click here.
And the winners this week are...LA FEMME. They're my favourite band (just after the Libertines) and they're wicked. They even crowd surf during gigs, and I'm talking person riding the crowd on an actual surfboard. If this music doesn't tickle your pickle then there's no hope of you being cool. I'm sorry to tell you so frankly.
Anyhow, enjoy the music right here.
A huge thanks to DJ Nico for his selection. Enjoy this video on repeat until next time....
