Please join us for a scrumptralescently sensous evening at (L)PR next Thursday 12/11 with French pop superstar Sébastien Tellier and friends. This shall be Purple Rain by hearth's edge; our bearded faces will glisten with the succulent juices of roasted duck meat. Hushed sotte voce vocals will drift under stabbing vintage synths, and whilst enjoying "Fingers of Steel" - a song about crushing on a robot - we shall collectively relish Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo's feathery production touch.
Although you may buy tickets here ($13), Cosby's presence on BT always indicates free stuff; in this case two complimentary guest list spots (+1) to the 12/11 show. Those outside of NYC may be more interested in scoring a pink AmAppy shirt for your gf along with special edition Divine Vision/Remix CDs, and we have a few of those to give away as well (US residents only, specify M or L).
Hit us up if you're interested in either and we'll do a random drawing for tickets and tees early next week.
Yes, it's awesome that the Lost in Translation soundtrack includes Jesus and Mary Chain, MBV and Air, but the lesser known gems are what made it a classic.
Singer/songwriter/instrumentalist Sébastien Tellier was mostly unknown outside of France and American Appys before last year, but Sofia Coppola wisely included "Fantino" - the sound of chemical imbalances on a cold Sunday afternoon - from his 2001 debut L'incroyable Vérité.

Que aimez-vous mieux ? en français:
(From NPR this week - seems a lot of music topping the French charts these days is in English, something that was previously a pretty big no-no. And when Sebastian Tellier's "Divine" was announced as France's entry in this year's Eurovision contest the French government got pissed and call Tellier's appearance "unconstitutional." What do you like better?)
