Last post may of not made as much as sense as I hoped -(unless you're french that is)but it's good sense to wear shades right now (still too hot here in Blighty...not very Autumnal )
They could of left watermark at bottom .. never understood the point of obscuring a image with words.
From hand painted stamp from 1930's.. although original black & white portraits better (but a rubbish size to post here)
Been watching lots of old flicks on youtube ... heres a gem from 1937 -(english translators nuts dictates dada so worth watching just to see Danielle Darrieux's beauty style and performance as Lydia ..I envy you if you're fluent in French.
Santa has the Blues!
Some un-seasonal French New Wave .. a film about dufflecoats -but Martine's rocks the most... at least the translator works properly on this one.
What can I say? Berets . big shiny coats and frenchieness just go together so well Michelle Morgan stills from "Le Quai des Brunes" from 1939 which translates as "Port of Sorrows" here's a trailer
Interview about that movie subtitls hopefully work-some lovely images .
Nice dress. Couldn't feature Port of Sorrow" but did find this windswept epic "Stormy Waters" also starring Madeline Renaud...subtitles provide more surrealist comedy -guess I'll have to watch this for its filmaking rather than the dialouge ...
You must excuse me as I like to spend time in the 20th Century (kind of miss it sometimes)
First of a new series of posts - wanted to represent newer bands -already got a punk post "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" but that really concerntrates on the pioneers from that era -so I needed a title that could cover more bases so this Sebadoh tune is an excellent choice for the title for this new feature p
Promised I'd do a post about Saint Agnes a few weeks ago ..may of posted vids before in playlists on other blogs but in case you missed them I'll post them again -Kittys got great style & can build a decent guitar - and I love that big bluesy noirish sound.

I've said this b4 a great source to find out what's happening around London ..discovered many an excellent band from Neils site.
Next up a group I featured in September playlist on the main blog.. fave newish band sonically and aesthetically The Flytraps- theres been a few line ups including a Death Valley Girl ..I think she's been replaced by a dude in a gimp mask lol
I'm bound to feature more vids from The Flytraps in future playlists look out for them.
