Come and walk with me and the Little Green Fairy throught Marseille by night : a podcast in several short episodes like my live recording of different French rock bands in the same night in two different clubs of Marseille : the Balthazar and the Machine à Coudre.
In the part 1 we begin in the Balthazar with Little Green Fairy a band from Sete, near Montpellier (South of France) who opened for the Saints, love the Angels and already knew Meltingpod by Dig It from Toulouse…nice ! You could find some songs I recorded live in their new album « Burn witch burn ».

Un commentaire

One of Andy Warhol’s most strangest films is called « Blue Movie »…my friend Hamster Atomique loves the Angels, the blue and the Dandy Warhols (who love Andy Warhol), ; I love the Angels, the blue and Andy Warhol; the Dandys are not too bad ! Hamster just sent me his new myspace’s website’s last production : niiiiice ! By the way myspace-meltingpod is full of rock bands « friends » now : check it !

  

Meltingpod Connections : Thanks to Saskia and her French podcasting community website Podcast premiere who gave Meltingpod and me a nice place under her Spotlight !

Wild, wild and crazy were the girls last night in Marseille for Valentine’s Day…the sexy punk rockers from Los Angeles, the Lords of Altamont were pleasantly surprised I guess with the girls from Marseille : one sent them empty glass, beer’s jet in the face and provocative calls to fuck her pussy, another one jumped on stage to lick the singer’s legs until to put her tongue in his mouth…but frustration for everybody : the poor guys had to drive directly after the show to Rome-Italy, hard reality of the rock and roll life in tour !! The Mystik Motorcycles opened the show with their new songs and I did a funny interview with them after their soundcheck (I will post it soon). In this hot ambience I stayed connected with my work for Meltingpod : taking pictures, recording the music live (thanks to the bands), avoiding to be crushed against the stage !

Last week I met in Cannes Shane Chisholm from Melbourne-Australia one of my first Meltingpod listener : he supported me for a year, commented almost every shows…we never saw each other before…I met him virtually in Automn 2004 on the Rock and Roll geek Show’s message board: we supported both at that time this podcast very seriously ! Now Shane is the co-producer of Michael Butler’s podcast. At Nice airport, Shane tried to take the control of MY show and did an interview of me…!! We spoke about Rock and roll, Australian bands, memory about kangoroo, the music industry and the future of podcasting in the world…I play the Angels with « No Exit, Can’t shake it and Marseilles » recorded live in Melbourne in April 1980…a rarity I got for Christmas from my Angels French Connection !
PS : Shane is sending me the podcast title right now from Oslo-Norway !

26/01/06 Oscar Wilde and me !

I promised to myself, next stop to Paris, to go and visit Oscar Wilde in his grave at Pere Lachaise’s cimetery. A passion for this man grew after my interview with Chris Bailey from the Saints, last summer…I read almost everything from him like an obsession…this meeting in the graveyard was moving as you could hear in this short podcast…I chosen two texts to read there : his famous talk during his trial for homosexuality in 1895 « the loves that dares not speak its name » and a part of the poem « the Sphinx »…the giant sculpture on his tomb offered by a woman who loved him represented…a sphinx and it was covered with lipstick-kisses; a luck I had a nice red lipstick too that morning…I dedicate that show to Chris (thanks for the connection) and to Garfieldd (courage !).
Music : The Marquis of Queensberry and Edgar Alan Poe from Chris Bailey (Demons); Everybody loves you when you’re dead from Kitty Hudson (London).

The French National Assembly’s deputy Frederic Dutoit is planning a meeting in Marseille February 9th at 6 p:m in his townhall (15ème/16ème) to work with the people involved by the DADVSI law’s project; he proposed to me to help him to invite artists, podcasters, internet surfers, labels (send a comment or e-mail if you want to come) and do the podcast of the meeting : obviously (with a thought to Oscar Wilde’s mother) I accepted !

John Brewster, The Angels band‘ guitarist, singer and songwriter of the famous song « Marseilles » is my guest today with Buzz Bidstrup , the drummer, a Meltingpod regular visitor ! The Angels band were in tour in Australia and I called them on Buzz’s cell phone during their interesting activities before playing a show : driving too fast because being late, doing the soundcheck, quickly eating and before springing on stage…answering to Meltingpod and promising to sing Marseilles for Annie !
The first song in the show « Dreambuilder » comes from the first album « The Angels » (released in 1977 by Albert) with Doc Neeson at the vocals.
The new version of Marseilles (released the first time in the album « Face to Face » in 1978) comes from the Angels band’s last live album recorded at the Basement in Sydney in November 2004 (released in 2005).
