Nova - Le Grand Mix


Young & Rubicam developped a very nice campaign for Radio Nova's "Le Grand Mix". Ten different visuals exist, by ten artists illustrating the music styles of the radio; funk, rap, rock, electronica but also Cuban music or blues...

Enlarge them with a click, you can also watch the 8 mini-clips by clicking here!

Cocoon


A wonderfully naive video, a perfect male-female vocal harmony, effective cute guitars, two little French guys, an Internet buzz, the French music magazine "Les Inrocks" catches that sound, a few summer festivals and there we are! Almost a consecration for Cocoon.


"On My Way"


Mark Daumail (22, vocals and guitars) and Morgane Imbeaux (19, vocals and keyboards) embark us to their colorful universe with genious compositions. The band almost reinvents French folk music with a perfectly balanced album: between optimism and melancholy (with all their tracks from 2006).

"Vultures"

free music





Their label's site "Sober & Gentle", their MySpace.

PS: thanks to Pascal for helping me discover Cocoon. Too bad I didn't follow you to the Lieu FMR, I would've loved to see them live... hopefully next time?

A message from Mr. John Soglo

From Mr. John Soglo
C/2645 RUE DE JERRICHO COTONOU
REPUBLIC DU BENIN
Email: soglojohn@yahoo.fr


I know this mail will come to you as a surprise since we have not had previous
Correspondence, please bear with me. I will really like to have a good relationship
With you, and I have a special reason why I decided to contact you, hoping that you
Would cooperate with me.

My names are. John Soglo, a Manager and former personal assistant to a business Guru
And my former Boss, Late Frederick M. Wong. This mail is Written and intended to
Solicit your assistance to be presented as NEXT OF KIN to my Late Boss, Frederick M.
Wong, (California USA). He was a Government Approved contractor with the Government
of the Republic of Benin, an Oil Merchant with the Government of the Gabon a Central
African country, and also a gold dealer in Ghana and very wealthy for that matter.
Mr. Frederick M. Wong made a fixed Deposit of Fund valued at USD25M (Twenty Five
Million United States Dollars Only) with a Security Firm in COTONOU REPUBLIC OF
BENIN, before he and his lovely wife unfortunately lost their life’s aboard Egypt Air
Flight 990, which crashed in to the Atlantic Ocean on November 2nd, 1999.

(news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm) and left no clear beneficiary as Next
of Kin except some vital documents related to the Deposit that he left on my care, as
I was with him at the time of the deposit of this funds, The Governing Body of the
Security Company where the funds had been deposited has contacted me on this matter,
and have demanded that I provide the next of kin to whom this funds would be released
To Immediately, I have tried my best to see if I could locate any of his relation,
Unfortunately till this time I have been unable to locate and provide any one of his
Relations as the Next of Kin to lay claims to the Fund. This is why I then decided
To look for a trust worthy person that I can front as his next of kin and my search
For such person then lead me to you based under a clear and legitimate agreement
With you, I shall seek your consent to present you to the Security Company as his
Next of kin and final beneficiary of the said funds.

For the sake of transparency on this matter, you are free to make immediate contact
With me only through this my E-mail:soglojohn@yahoo.fr for further information
Relating to this Matter.

Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while I expect your prompt
Response.

Bear in mind that if you agree to assist me with this project, you would be entitled
To 30% of the total sum, while 5% is mapped out to cover every unforseen expensess
That might be incurred in the cause of this project, like telephone calls and other
Little expenses, while the remaining would be for me, and one other staff of our
Company that knows about this funds.

Note that it does not matter the country you come from or your color everything
Would be taken care of and be assured that this project is 100% risk free so you need
Not entertain any fears, because my family is a well know family here in my country,
All I ask for is your full cooperation to conclude this project fast, because if I do
Not present the next of kin on time the funds might be declared unclaimed and handed
Over to the Federal Government of Benin, hence your urgent response is needed.

Thanking you once more for your anticipated assistance and cooperation.

Several questions come to my mind...
- Who sends this?
- What for... are some people naive enough to buy it?
- Don't they have a syntax book next to them... or is it deliberate?

Kylie robotics


Kylie - and her management - has always known what to do to seduce her audience. Latest novelty to promote her latest cd "X"? A collection of robotics that you can offer through Facebook. Of course, I love it.

Each doll represent a era of Kylie's career : a video, an album artwork or a show costume. It's mostly super cute... The trashiest being the one of the duet with Nick Cave - "Where The Wild Roses Grow", the cutest being "Moulin Rouge!"'s green fairy or the sequins and feather-clad "Showgirl Tour" opening costume...

Bonus: free mp3 download {Kylie Minogue - X MiX Sampler}
