Nouveaux Music Monday

Hot Club De Paris deserves a listen. I think it sounds like a bit of Vampire Weekend and apparently futureheads. By any stretch Hot Club De Paris is punky/pop. Here is a better review.

"SHIPWRECK"


"HEY, HOUSEBRICK"

Things not to talk with your French teacher about

In a fascinating story from BBC news France has been accused by Rwanda as having an active role in the Genocide of 1994 which killed 800,000 people in 100 days. Rwanda claims that France new of the immenent genocide, and occused french troops of direct involvment. This is very problamatic for the rest of the world as well as France in light of the U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide which states in Article II-C That complicity in genocide is a punishable offense.
Here is a link to a full PBS Frontline website which is filled with analysis, interviews, a timeline, and clips from the documentary. Here is the first section of the PBS documentary entitled The Warning to wet your whistle:

Nuit et Brouillard, Night and Fog




I recently stumbled upon this classically French philosophical look at the horrors of WWII. This film was created in 1955 by the French Committee for the History of the Second World War. It is one of the most potent and illicit views of the horrors of the German concentration camps. The film is lower quality black and white, but it only lends itself to the message and the aura of the film. The French narrator delivers solemn monotone lines when needed but mostly allows the images to sink in.

It's a party
