I, for one, can say that I looked forward to this show more than anything – but not as a crazy phish fan but as a pessimistic critic. Yes, I admit, Phish has been in the doghouse with me since I saw Trey perform solo a few years ago at Bonnaroo which turned out to [...]

The Ye-Ye movement was emblematic of the French 60s. With singers such as France Gall, Francoise Hardy or Sylvie Vartan, they represented a musical style very French, beautiful, innocent and naive to a provocative manner. Gainsbourg (already) was behind a few of them and composed playfully lyrics for them. France Gall famously sang “Annie loves [...]
