Facebook is this really creepy movement of which I jumped on the bandwagon lately; it scares me and it confuses me. It alerts you when one of your friends changes their status from "Single" to "In a Relationship with So-and-so"...it alerts you when your friends comment on eachothers' profiles [not yours, mind you] and it alerts you every time a friend uploads a picture. Internet stalkerdom is becoming more and more acceptable and even encouraged. It's so delightfully disturbing that I can't look away.
I began reading some Voltaire in French and I'm enjoying it but I have one statement for the creaters of the French language, "We can do it if you erase the existence of the passe simple."
In other adventures of Holly observing the French culture like a true outsider, French TV? I can't understand why there are soap-operas and self-help shows on at prime-time and why people actually enjoy them. It's incredible, the French are brilliant when it comes to modern music and art but when it comes to commercial entertainment...I'm sorry. I remember watching an MTV-like countdown with Guillaume in a hungover daze the morning after Ososphere festival in Strasbourg, and marveling at the inhabitants of the top slots. Bob Sinclair? Tribal King [which I actually ironically love, rims on the wall and intense, shameless booty-shaking in the music video, unintentional genius] at number one? COUP DE BOULE at number two?!?!?!?!
Daft Punk vs. YYY - World MapsMaybe a little unexpected.
Justin Timberlake - My Love [Linus Loves Remix]Everyone has remixed this morsel of genius, but Linus Loves seems to turn everything he touches into gold; he's the King Midas of disco, if you will.
New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream (Thee Bang Gang Deejays remix)I have heard the remixes of this song so much that I wasn't even able to identify the original in a club this weekend. HOW EMBARRASSING. el-oh-el.
Van She - Sex City (Nightmoves Remix)This song is clearly on every blog that you read, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
Menomena - Wet and RustingMenomena Menomena Menomena Menomena. I just can't stress it enough.
