Male And Female Pea Coats

ROCK ROAD - DAY 3 - THE NEXT TIME I WEAR A TSHIRT FOR METS

Last day of the Route du Rock, as usual sleeping in rain & are the perfect combination. We still decides to get motivated to 14h to get to concert Karaocake at the Beach, finally, at the Palais du Grand Large, given the "good weather", but did not count on Morpheus we won in a nap up to 16h ... FAIL , as they say. The rest of the afternoon was to busy to tour the campsite photographing tents / unusual people, watching the wrestling match between two safety officers and a workshop with scissors cutting knife Swiss ...

archires Bronson Outfit @ La Route du Rock 2010

At 19h, we say that it might be time to stop and get ragged on the site to shake paw Hans while in the distance Thus: Owls plays on stage. Very quickly, the power of Archie Bronson Outfit us back upright, and you soon forget the fatigue of the previous two days. The volume was up a notch for the last night, can not remain impervious to the psyche of our rock-gus in tunics that make us dance in the mud. A violent slap.

It's time for Serena Maneesh , but lacking faint, I opt for option Survival: dinner. A Mexican wrap in the belly, I'm immediately much more carefully and seriously this concert is the only festival that I really did not like from beginning to end. Overplay it-wrong-and besides shoegaze galore has compounded my annoyance at this concert soporific side.

The National @ La Route du Rock 2010

ensued almost single reason for my coming to the RDR, The National . After seeing them at Zenith 1st part of Pavement , I could not not see them again. Say High Purple transported me is an understatement. Since the first night when I heard I can do without. This was predictable given the effect that made me Alligator , Boxer and Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers before. So I attend the 2nd row at the concert, determined to make sing "Sorrow" this time (my favorite High Purple ). Classes, Matt Berninger and his henchmen arrive on stage in costumes, to the applause of an audience already conquered. And apart the 3 alcoholic brawling behind me, this concert was just pure happiness. It starts off like a wheel with "Runaway," the melancholy at all costs. For his third came to the fort, The National feels a little like home, thanking the French public for having believed in them first (crowing) and goes up on stage to a " from Sebastian Toulouse, the guy With The Mets blue tshirt "no I'm not dead jealousy. For the rest of the concert, Matt Berninger to cheek "dandy-Alcolique melancholy" with a bottle of white that drank from the bottle, we say that it is to give some capacity. Moreover, that when it's time to get his voice hoarse and titillate the lacrimal glands, it can meet this. Whether it's on the wonderful "Afraid Of Everyone" or on "Conversation 16", eyes moist are becoming more numerous, even on the side of safety officers ... Special mention to the unleashing of "Squalor Victoria" highlighted by the smooth initial violin & piano, not to mention the thrill of "England". Finally, what about the emotion felt when the audience starts to sing in unison "Mr. November" (claimed to body and cries-in-literally and figuratively by girls alcoholic mentioned above)? An impeccable set closes brilliantly on the usual "Terrible Love," still effective.

Flaming Lips @ La Route du Rock (© Antoine MairĂ© )

After such a performance I can only be disappointed by the following groups but did not count on the Flaming Lips . Level show we were served. Whether the group's arrival, straight out a giant screen, the slam of Wayne Coyne (singer) in its giant transparent ball, the bear that eventually led him on all balloons, confetti and streamers other launched on the public way carnival giant. Not forgetting the time when the public is put to good for imitating animals. Level regression was served. Although personally music is a little faded into the background (except perhaps on "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" and "Do You Realize ??"), I keep this concert a memorable one, where I smiled as a child from beginning to end.

Glitter still filled eyes, I'm more excited than ever to The Rapture. Close the RDR 2010 and go after Flaming Lips, it's been a bit much. Yet again the magic post-disco funk operates, revelers forget the fatigue and dance again and again, especially on the tubes that are "The Devil", "Echoes" or "The House Of Jealous Lovers". When the show ends we would like that thing all over again, but it's time to go to bed, there's that bump the next day.

Lewis Structure Of Clf2

ROCK ROAD - DAY 2

If time was not to go on Saturday at the DAS 2010, we will have at least allowed to sleeping in until 15 o'clock in the morning. Must say that hearing this incessant rain does not grow the business, you wake to sleep too dry. In 15 hours we thought it would be good to activate and at the same moment a flash of genius crosses my mind. A very good friend lives a few miles away, maybe did enough to survive in this climate not exactly welcoming. In less time than it takes to say, it gives me boots, Kway, warm socks & warm sweater, if it is not pretty! And as if that was not enough it gives me a warm shower and an aperitif in Dinard, who could ask for more. At the campsite, girlfriends Sympathy also found way to warm sipping beer from our neighbors, poncho-man & Friends of Black Kennedy. So much so that spleen Martina Topley Bird and The Hundreds In The Hands ... Hips.

slush, the mud , slush, slush wow slush, slush

So when the 1st notes of "Total Life Forever "sounded, we run, narrowly avoiding the puddles to mingle with the crowd in a big group dance that alienate the rain. Yes yes, we said it all. For he had seen twice The concert is not really a surprise. The set list is basically the same (minus Miami, wah), the show is still square, perhaps a bit too much. Even Yannis making the little monkey climbing the first thing within reach, it makes me laugh less than before. I quibble, I know, but I always expect more spontaneity in the festival and I admit that 3 gigs, it was the least successful, in my taste. But hey Yannis told us "I love you" before "English Sahara" so I forgive him everything.

Massive Attack @ Route du Rock 2010 (© Antoine MairĂ© )

ensued Massive Attack-yet seen in a group-Eurocks on a smaller stage the show is admittedly less impressive but Again it is the visual takes precedence over music. It will be recalled advantage of " Sarkozy, the Republic thug" than any song. Damage, 15 on stage one would have expected a real show. To believe the number of festival-goers present for the occasion (10 000 I whispered it the ear), trip-hop lounge with bright future. Sadness.

Two Door Cinema Club @ Route du Rock 2010

is the turn of young Irish Two Door Cinema Club to revive a somewhat sleepy crowd. Discovered during the festival to replace the Inrocks Roux, here today at the peak of their glory. While some are tired of what they consider a rock without novelty, there is no denying they are very good when it comes to make us dance. A perfect concert which was fun to wade into the mud.

To close this second night is We Have Band tubes and electro-pop who are responsible for emptying our batteries so that one enters muddy and exhausted. Quite the opposite happens, it does not want the evening ends as it is after in the tent of our friendly neighbors until our eyes close by themselves, and that the four up our tents not seem insurmountable a challenge.

ROCK ROAD - DAY 1 - WE'RE GOING TO GO

A morning of work completed here I am all excited in the subway, my knapsack on his back, my converse golden feet, steering the station & the long awaited Montpar Rock Road. 3 hours later, here I am arrival at the station of Saint-Malo, in search of Navatta leading to Fort St. Fr. A first come, already crowded, with only a few "lucky" may get a place. So I opt for the quick solution "to hitchhike" and in two minutes flat I am now embarking on the car festival of three friendly, happy to help me out. Once planted my tent, it is already time for the 1st concert.

Because of the queue for accreditation of girlfriends Sympathy , I will not hear Dum Dum Girls from afar. Because I just listen especially the small Owen Pallett (ex-Final Fantasy), I leave easily. Time to get me a beer, the young Canadian prodigy arrives on scene, endow a single violin, a purple hat down to his ears, Malo climate forcing. Sometimes alone, sometimes accompanied by a guitarist, it's sweet and poetic, I'm under spell. When you know that Heartland was recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and he comes alone to conquer us is a good lesson for behemoths such sanitized Yann Tiersen or Massive Attack (discussed later). Gold sticker for the cover of "Odessa" from Caribou , surpassing the original, which was far from a foregone conclusion.

Night falls on the fort while Yann Tiersen entered, accompanied by a fifteen musicians. I also want to go and settle on the sustenance and sandbags to comfortably bored. I am amazingly surprised, because apart when he tries to remake the "Amelie Poulain sauce rock" he is not doing so badly, but two hours is still very long.

Black Angels @ La Route du Rock (© Sara Dimple )

The night is already well advanced when the rock pest Black Angels comes to awaken us from the torpor in which Tiersen we had plunged. Manic, a dude going up on stage to offer his poncho (we later learned that this is our neighbor tent). Fully awake, I am about to discover the power of live Liars .

More pop on stage than on CD, filled with infectious energy, I was headbanging at leisure to alongside Grandcrew until the end of the show. Fatigue begins to be felt, nothing like a last beer and admire the audacity of psychedelic Caribou before collapsing from fatigue in his warm sleeping bag.

How Far Should Your Coffee Table

BY OUR OWN PANTS, OUR LITTLE SWEATY

If the idea of spending your summer in Paris you down, I suggest you take a look on the side of New Casino and more specifically to dwell on the programming of Colors Summer Music Toro y Moi, Savoir Adore, Chris Garneau , Holly Miranda, Vivian Girls , Tame Impala, Au Revoir Simone , Karaocake, Girls ... and so on. If these names do not give back a smile, then you have simply no heart (you are dead inside in original) here. Thus

I went for my first vacation day, New Casino Chouin to deal with sumptuous voice of Chris Garneau and Holly Miranda . How to talk eh, if you believed that I had a heart you have mistaken your dairy, my grandfather.

Chris Garneau @ Nouveau Casino (© Music Does not Exist In My Country )

In good gentleman, the frail singer-songwriter from New York, Chris Garneau , opening the ball. Dressed in a simple marcel (we forgive him this lapse of taste), he arrived alone on stage with his keyboard only companion. But after two songs, two violinists, a cellist, a trumpeter and a trombonist are entering them, giving more depth to each song. The room is plunged into darkness, only a small light illuminates the vocalist. This intimate atmosphere allows you to quickly dive into his world, oscillating between a certain darkness and absolute candor. Especially when the young prodigy plays "Baby's Romance ", "Dirty Night Clown" and "We Do not Try " missing only " Hometown Girls" for my armor and crack altogether. Everything ends in beauty on the cover of " Between The Bars "Elliott Smith.


Holly Miranda @ Nouveau Casino (© Rebel Girl Diary )

little break in the aquarium aka the smoking area of New Casino then it Holly Miranda entering the track. The crowd was denser than ever, so I'm going to listen in the background, the sofas in order to appreciate his voice without having to feel the wetness the skin of my neighbors about me. " You know it's hot When Your Elbows are sweating " (you know it's hot when your elbows sweat, ed) puts it as the singer herself. Very surprised at the power of live-rock almost nothing to do with soft-pop album I decided to go meet the sweat of my peers. Okay, a place that is released mainly in the stairs, I can finally enjoy the second half of the concert. I do not put off the energy that concert emerges between delicacy and power, what a surprise! And despite the heat, the singer gives everything she has, " I'll fake it, till we make it " Assen does a seductive tone limit. In the heat of the Nouveau Casino, heat rises another notch, before melting entirely on " Halleluiah" that closes this set. We leave exhausted but happy that warm summer evening.

Play Hair Spa The Game

WALKING PANTS LAYOUT



I promised myself not to like the next group who played the surf-pop, surf or surf-rock-whatever. Enough has been given with Wavves, The Drums & Company. So much so that even the Beach Boy takes the opportunity to reshape ... Coincidence? I do not think.
Plus I do not even like surfing, but nevermind.

Emerges Best Coast, found on "All Summer ", sponsored the new song Converse with Kid Cudi and Vampire Weekend Rostam (after "My Drive Through " Pharrell, Santogold and Julian Casablancas), I funds for his crystalline voice and am going to investigate the beautiful. I quickly discovered " When The Sun Do not Shine " and "When I'm With You " I does not catch on as the first as I can not help gesticulate on the second. Then just listen to the album, Crazy For You , true to my promise I decide not to love, yes I'm stupid and thrust me back-and chronicle my album (Interpol, Of Montreal, Klaxons, You Say Party!). Then again I see the name of Best Coast circulate in my TL, so I'm going to check again that I do not like to cut short the passion that already exists. I do not know if it's the evening light, my summer unusually good mood or something or what, but this time the magic worked. I had to face facts, I was charmed by the sweet voice of Bethany Cosentino (who resembles in appearance to that of Zooey Deschannel She & Him). Still I can not believe that with an album as caricatured in pictures: LOLcat of the pouch through the cutesy words, the reverb or pop noise it surfisante to work. Naive to hope that, this will not succeed in this album in Coconut Record (last year) as my summer soundtrack.
