I saw strange apparitions walking in a bog during a hot night with Ilotopie :
I need a break a few days in a cold country ! I’m flighing tomorrow for Vilnius (Lithuania). If you didn’t have any time until now to listen to every podcasts of meltingpod, it’s the moment to update your ears.
I gave an interview during one hour to Julien from France Podcast for his podmag : this funny conversation is podcasting on the internet in the middle of the next week. I hope you will like to listen to me in French only !
I began to work on a logo for meltingpod, give me your first reactions.
The festival Oulala at Saint-Bonnet le château-Part Two, with the Saints in concert (+ some songs from cds too refering to Chris Bailey’s talk about his lyrics in the festival Part One : 12/07/05), Tokyo Sex Destruction from Barcelone in a funny melting Spanish-English interview and a political call recorded backstage with a technician-artist, in this new podcast.
The electric girls of Nashville Pussy only for your eyes (pics below), giving a true American show the first night of the three days festival.

After spending some noisy days with the Saints, I found back home to Marseille an invitation from Alice Cooper’s guitarist to see their concert the day after in l’Olympia and do an interview with Alice after the show : too short to organize this new travel (arrgh); I needed to take a break in the silence and the loneliness in my own hard land of France, a little village in the Alpes : Saint-Crepin (hey, where Frederic Chopin’s ancestors+father were born)…loneliness, silence ? not true this morning because the Tour de France was running through the village…behind the sponsors’caravane the 165 heroes ran in front of us during exactly LESS ONE MINUTE ! a great road-theater performance, the shortest I ever saw.
BTW : I have personally a new sponsor, Luc Saint-Elie, another French podcaster; have a look on : http://audioblog.fr; he spreads my podcasts from iTunes until I will be myself on the iTunes podcasts list. Nice solidarity !
Yes, it was good to to see the Saints and take holidays in hell with them in the hard land of France in Saint-Bonnet le Château at the festival Oulala ; a little far away from Marseille but I came back home with a precious noisy podcast with an interview of the band backstage and some live songs of the concert…special dedicated to the Saints’ fans and to the festival’s voluntary workers !

Nota : I would like to thank the festival Oulala for the press accreditation to do this report (pics and interviews backstage) Chris Bailey for his agreement to record the Saints live on stage and the Saints & Huggy their tour manager (Pbox) for their kindness.
In this new podcast : a world premiere (smile) with a song from the new album of the Balayeurs du Desert (the desert-sweepers), the musicians of Royal de Luxe, one of the most famous street theater company in the world, and for the Treteaux des Menestrels, a very little unknown company… ! Thanks Chelmi !
Then you will spend a trashy night with me at the Machine à coudre, the best place to hear punk rock and roll but not only…with the Neurotic Swingers on stage and backstage featuring some funny characters from the bar to the toilets…!
And at last some news from Australia…July 7th the Angels will release their new live album in Sydney; meanwhile they love always Marseille and to do jokes…Buzz sent me this pic yesterday with the whole band wearing the shirt « Marseille without frontier » I sent to him : nice pic, isn’t it ?

Yesterday night, I went to a concert of Aggravation and Neurotic Swingers at « La Machine à Coudre (the sewing machine), the highest place for punk rock and roll in Marseille because of the passion of his owner Philippe and his team (Claire, J2P…), helped with the crazy rockers of Ratakans Connection…some pictures here but for the first time I walked in the club with a minidisc (thanks to my new sponsor : Nadine Gomez) and I recorded some great moments of the night : a minidisc opens a window to another world for a podcaster ! I hope you will appreciate my first try with this new material…the temperature was over 50° Celsius, after the show we were wet like in a swimming pool !

Late in the night or early in the morning, the ambiance became really hot like always in the South with laughs, a little blood but more fright than pain.
I can’t wait to give you my pics of the latest street theater show saturday night in Marseille of Generik Vapeur…first, there are nice pics I find, second…it’s a part of a long love and family story which began 15 years ago, and I always have a big pleasure to walk or run with them in the street…I will plan an interview with them soon.

The crowd was so dense that I can’t take pics of the rest of the show but to be honest, I was fascinated with the whale’s squeleton pulled on the wonderful black horses’equipage and the Pegase’s flight !! Bravo Generik and Sud Side too ! nice work !
Great show like always from the firework manufacturers at the end : Groupe F, you are the best of the world !! simply the best ones!
Conversation between women opened to the gentle men about music and rock and roll with my special guest in this show : Bea Paradis !
We spoke about one of her first band Bebe Clandestine with Stephane Abaddie, her episode alone with her guitar and the story of her actual band Sub Rosa. Women rock in Marseille !
Sub Rosa, unplugged concert; Bea checking our recording at home !

You wanted more…you got it ! the podcast is half an hour long, this time : enjoy it ! with Noah from Berlin, David Lafore 5 têtes from Marseille (with a short interview, a live song in my home studio and a middle-age ID ) and The Chelsea Smiles from Hollywood…happy meltingpod !
Noah’s and David Lafore’s cover album and the Chelsea Smiles on stage.
From « Down in Hell » (first song) with Jerry Spider Gang a punk-rock band from Toulouse who played in Marseille a few months ago to « Living in Eden »(last song) with Nitwits a new young band from Marseille, you could listen to « Shoot the dice, Fucker » with the 1’s from Belgium (Manny the singer and bassist is almost a French man from Toulouse who played a lot of time in Marseille) and « Soave » with Kill the Thrill from Marseille and their new released album « Telluric ». A lot of good music. I hope you will like it.
PS : special guests opening the show : Adam Becware from the Black Halos and Chris Bailey from the Saints.
Jerry Spider Gang and The 1’s in action, Kill the Thrill at coffee break.

Special thoughts to Louna, three years old, a little child I knew…
Thanks to Radio France International-Medias du Monde ! In their interview about Podcasting in France where I had the great honor to open and close (in a hot ambiance ! oh ! Laurence !) their show with Meltingpod, their expression « Annie’s rockers friends from Marseille » inspired me in my episode N°10 to let more place to « the strangers » who love playing in Marseille and gave me friendly their songs to play in my show; they are a good example of meltingpod: Adam Becware from the Black Halos (born in Brisbane- Australia, live in Chicago-USA), Michael Butler from American Heartbreak (born in Florida-live in San Francisco) and Chris Bailey from the Saints (born in Kenya-live after Belfast, Brisbane…at least in Amsterdam).
Adam played in the same band as Mike and was born in the city where Chris formed his band the Saints.
Some pictures I took during their concerts on the same stage in Marseille at different periods : Adam in 2003, Mike in 2002 and Chris in 2005.
