It is late here in Minnesota and I am trying to ice my otherwise swollen knees. This after having to remove a rock that was embedded in my skin all because of a full game of soccer. I played net tonight and it was a tough game all around. My knees seem to have taken most of the hits, and even as I type this they look swollen as well as black and blue.I actually checked my email tonight hoping t...
The press has all but thrown the kitchen sink at Carla Bruni, wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The Italian singer-songwriter and former model's recent album Comme si de rien n'était was officialy released today, but that didn't stop the press from getting advanced copies and bashing it. Initially the album drew some bad press over lyrics comparing her husband to Afghani heroin and Colo..
The lovely Italian-born, French-by-marriage siren-songstress, Carla Bruni, released her new solo album in France earlier this month, but now Comme Si de Rien N'Etait is available everywhere digitally (via Downtown Records) and will be available on CD August 5th. According to Giant Step, it's delightfully sombre. They also report: Produced by Dominique Blanc-Francard, the fourteen track LP con...

Someone has already blogged about this track, but you can play it now from MOG.I need to start finding some ugly dudes to listen to -- I've been in a beautiful women rut.
Which one of them is luckier? The guy who became president and married a hot and talented ex-supermodel turned singer-songwriter, or the ex-supermodel who found a new flourishing career as a singer-songwriter and married a president?Oh well..
I hadn't heard any of Carla Bruni's music before today and assumed, possibly incorrectly, that it was just crap. And then I found this. Quite a groovey little ditty, 'Those Dancing Days Are Gone', is quite possibly the last thing I would have expected to hear from the future/current/not-bloody-likely French first lady.

J'accuse... me! No me parleyvoo or comprendeyvoo le frankinscence. But no matter. Because I have always preferred french fries to freedom fries; french toast to texas toast; and french-kissing to ass-kissing (though, to be fair, that last one is sort of highly dependent on the context, if you know what I'm saying).
