Killed by France
The action-packed first round of this year's French presidential race ended yesterday. Highlights of the last few weeks of campaigning included horseback riding, bikinis, campaign offices in Second Life, and off-handed comments about masturbation and pedophilia. I hope USA's '08 run can compete.
Here are some punk/DIY tunes en francais to get you pumped for the final runoff:
Marie Et Les Garcons "Re-Bop" [MP3]
Les Olivensteins "Euthanasie" [MP3]
Bulldozer "J'suis Punk" [MP3]
Les Spurts "Je Suis Fiere De Mon Grand Pere" [MP3]
Prop Sack "Aujourd' Hui" [MP3]
Was Le Pen telling us he's a wanker? I always suspected as much. Somehow I can't see young France settling for the pleasures of the palm. They've the Brits for that kind of thing.

Thank you thank you thank you for Marie et les garcons. I hope the mp3 also includes the song after Re-bop. French Velvet Underground! (Velours français au fond?)
