Phoren Phriday: Zazie

French singer-songwriter Zazie counts as one of my all-time faves, and when her album Rodéo came out in 2004 I couldn't wait to have it -- in fact, the physical CD is still on my wishlist, but thanks to iTunes I downloaded it and continue to savour it.

One of the things on my wishlist is the DVD of the video clips that were made for the singles released from the album -- but, what's more, the DVD contains a little gem, a 40-minute film called "Rodéo Indien".   As the title suggests, the film consists of a set of different clips known as the "Mumbai Remix" -- versions of several of the songs shot in India, Indian remixes of the songs, as it were.

As I said, it's on my wishlist, so I've never seen the whole thing, only this one clip, for the song "Excuse-moi":

 

(Did I mention that I adore Zazie?  She's amazing....)

Well.  It's the last day of a year I'm glad to see the back of.  Not that good stuff didn't happen.  It did, and some pretty cool good stuff, too, but it was overshadowed much of the time by all the crap that formed the hallmark of this past year from beginning to end.  If 2011 isn't any better, well, then I think I might just give up.

And after a few weeks of being ill, then injuring my knee, and pretty much keeping my head down with work -- suddenly -- well. Okay, I'm still not feeling up to snuff, but the knee is much better, and a few days ago I hit a major milestone on a project that unfortunately has to stay secret until next spring, except for this small snippet that's already been revealed.  Alas, because I'm really, really happy about it.

So I've spent the last few days catching up on some other stuff, and doing some planning for the next couple of months -- and listening to some music.  I decided just to go through my iPod and see what was on there, stuff I'd pretty much forgotten about.

And then I hit the cover of Patrick Juvet's disco classic "Ou sont les femmes?" by the French punk band Les Wampas, and I remembered, well, that the video clip for that song was totally appropriate for this blog:
