French Pop/Dictionary
by Tosh 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

That's a very good question! Probably the closest thing one can find are the AMG all music Guides on the internet as well as smaller sites on the Net. But I for one would love to have such a volume! Once awhile you may want to check out my website time-to-time. Because when I have the chance I go via the net and book sources to find information about certain French artists. Also, are there any plans for a book on French pop/rock/avant music? -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com

french pop/rock encyclopedia?
by Maarten Hepp 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

Hello, I have been playing my Brigitte Fontaine CDs a lot lately. As I would like to know more about french popular music, I was wondering if there is a good encyclopedia of french pop and rock music? I do not really care which language it is in, as long as it has entries on people like Brigitte Fontaine, Boby Lapointe and other weird or avantgarde singers/bands (preferably next to entries on mainstream artists). Can anyone recommend a title? Maarten Hepp mhepp(a)xs4all.nl

CDs for sale, etc.
by Taylor McLaren 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

Well, a couple of other people are doing it, so here's another list of stuff that I'd like to get out of the apartment: http://cwoweb2.bai.ne.jp/~jge01101/ Also, in the interest of saying something that people might actually care about, the CD shop at japanimprov.com is finally available in English (more or less: they're only selling Japanese releases this way at present, which isn't much of a limitation for most potential customers), and their service is pretty darned speedy... I placed an order on Friday morning, and it was delivered to my door in Osaka on Saturday night. Finally, thank you for not being the Coil list. -me

Re: Bob Ostertag / Pierre Hebert dvd

I << Hi, Did someone saw that dvd from Bob Ostertag and Pierre Hebert : Between science and garbage ? The advertising is very attractive ! Any comment about that work ? Take care. Manu >> I saw it courtesy of Netflix (they also have Bookshelf). It is an hourlong concert where the animation as well as the music is improvised. The video and audio quality are excellent. Most of the time the image you see is the screen that the audience sees, which is the way it should be. They also cut to show you how the sounds and visuals are being made which is also enlightening. It starts off slow but slowly gets more dense as more layers of sound and animation are added. If I understand correctly, most of the animation and images are created on the spot but they also add images to the mix from previous concerts. This is from a series of antiwar concerts they performed at so a lot of the images are antwar, anti-Bush, etc. I really enjoyed it and recommend hearing it really loud through your stereo. Cheers, John Threadgould
