Malajube : La Caverne (Teaser)
Yeah, I know I’m a few days late on posting this, but I have a strong suspicion that La Caverne will be their White Album. That’s right, their fucking White Album.

Christian Paradis : Nous n'avons aucune...
First, hi, I’ve been on vacay for a while, so sorry for the complete absence of posts (I’ve had much more important things on my mind lately) and unreturned email. That’s all I’ll say about it, except that I’m working my way down through the inbox which is currently sitting in the thousands.
Anyway, during my time away I’ve had a lot of time to think about...

La pointe du hipster →
Les branchés s’appellent désormais les «hipsters». Une première enquête sociologique décrypte leurs comportements, leurs goûts, leurs attitudes. Et leurs tiraillements
Ils ont leurs modes de vie, leurs usages, une moustache (elle remplace la barbe), des gourmandises inédites, des vélos (à pignon fixe), des psys, des livres, leur mobilier (retour du papier peint et du bar de salon); ils ont...

Boudin Link →
The most important link (HAH) ever for expat Louisianans, or those who appreciate good food. Reviews of most boudin/cracklin/andouille joints in Acadiana. If you’re not getting your Cajun/Creole cuisine from a place like this, you’re getting screwed y’all. Don’t trust the places in Arizona, Oregon or Texas. It’s fucking sacré!

Maxime Bernier Watch : Il a disparu !
Dude, where are you?
No blog updates since LAST YEAR (aka since 31 décembre), no vlogs about how deflation is all upsides and free iPads for us all, or how awesome the gold standard was, or a video guide to getting with pretty women! (I want that particular guide. I mean, how the fuck does a Tory get with someone like Julie Couillard? I mean, he’s a Quebec Tory, BUT STILL.)
Come back to...

Louisiane France Accueil : Lancement du programme... →
Il y a 8 mois quand j’ai crée ce groupe, l’objectif était de favoriser les échanges entre Louisianais et des francophones de France, du Québec, d’Acadie, de Belgique et d’ailleurs. Le principal échange c’est l’accueil ! Aujourd’hui voyager coûte très cher et l’idéal est de trouver un ami qui puissent vous loger quelques nuits à plusieurs semaines si vous souhaitez visiter vos pays...

Follow Monday: Le blog de la méchante →
Whenever I read Éléonore’s blog and see her photos, I want to steal my parents’ frequent flier miles, book a flight to Paris and start seducing every fashionable woman within sight until I stumble upon Alice Butaud and play Marco Polo with her in the middle of winter in the middle of a park with no visible shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
If she had a Tumblr, they should’ve flown her...

This Week's To-Do List/Emotional Vomitus (TL;DR)
Get a metric ton of paperwork notarized. Interview with Florida AG’s office in West Palm Beach (not the job kind).
Pay one bill.
Get paid, then pay the rest of my bills. Reevaluate my 2011 investing strategy (aka actually plan for the future). Then be starting-artist poor for the rest of the month.
Film, edit and complete a video/media project and of myself. Need to find reputable...

Found this clip after digging around the CBC Archives a bit. René Lévesque being interviewed by Pierre Trudeau on the topic of political violence. (Not sure what year, but probably around 1966.)
The point I’m making by posting this is that violence, especially political in nature, can never be justified in a democratic society (i.e. the U.S. and Canada).

Bumped up/reposted so the daytime crowd can get in on the action.
As of last night when I started this, I was the only person in on it. Now there are a few of us, with more hopefully later on, if the Tumblr ladies can keep up.

Scotch.

Holy shit so hey y’all I know I silently promised not to do any inebriated bloggin’ but I’m a scotch drinker now. Do you know how cuntingly different that is from doing shots of bourbon? It is at least 8 differents. Maybe 10 differents. Either way, it is a lot of differents. Growing up is ridiculous. I’m turning into my Dad. Give me two more of these and I’ll be telling you how good...

Watching interviews with the new GOP House leadership and reading the numerous articles in the NYT and WaPo (here and here) on the incoming session of Congress is truly astonishing WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?

Reading the Constitution as a symbolic, cynical, irritating gesture to the...
Europe’s Young Grow Agitated Over Future Prospects →
Francesca Esposito, 29 and exquisitely educated, helped win millions of euros in false disability and other lawsuits for her employer, a major Italian state agency. But one day last fall she quit, fed up with how surreal and ultimately sad it is to be young in Italy today.
It galled her that even with her competence and fluency in five languages, it was nearly impossible to land a paying job....

Fascination with every corner of the beatmaking globe by indie dance aficionados has led to investigation into and retooling of untold genres: dancehall from Jamaica, reggaetón from Puerto Rico, kuduro from Angola, kwaito from South Africa, even cumbia from Mexico. But soca, the dominant modern sound of Trinidad and Tobago, is as resilient a local style as any, and until Poirier it has resisted...
