Cur Non

It’s here!! The first video from the collaboration between St Vincent and David Byrne!! I love it, predictably — especially David’s little rump-shakin’.

Got A Girl Crush On: France Gall and the other Yé-Yé Girls.

It all started when Mrs. Draper performed her rendition of Gillian Hill’s Zou Bisou Bisou. Shortly after, Wes Anderson puts out yet another amazing soundtrack lodging François Hardy’s Le Temps De L’amour in everyone’s (including us here at GAGC) heads. 

If you, too, are a sucker for this Yé-Yé Girl Revival, you’ll most likely fall for the likes of France Gall, Jacqueline Taïeb, Sylvie Varten, Pussy Cat, Sheila, Les Intrigantes, Chantal Goya, Pussy Cat and (perhaps not a true yé-yé girl, but I’ll use any excuse I can to squeeze in) my all-time biggest girl crush, Anna.

Yeeeess ma’am! I’ve been yé-yé crazy this summer.

Not sure how I managed to not listen to this Future Bible Heroes album since college, but it was a mistake. Rectifying now.

This song is truly one of the most perfect songs. Listening to it this morning made me tear up a little bit because it was so absolutely perfect. (The tears might also be nostalgia tears since my high school/college boyfriend included this on a mix tape for me. I think he actually might have been my one real summer, but it had mostly to do with our ages and where we were in our lives — mostly carefree.)

octagons fall from the sun
as we run through the grass
let weathermen blether
this forecast is o’ercast
and the beach boys?
hell, they might as well play “winter wonderland”
summer, my ass

This morning’s subway jam. You shoulda seen me lip-synching. Couldn’t stop from dancing.
