1988... Francoise Hardy

This video reminds me of yesterday... i.e. 1988

Happy birthday Stefan G...

SLR? How many pics?

Wonder how many pictures took that second hand SLR camera you'd like to buy at bargain price?

Impossible to know unless you know this software!

Arigato gozaimashita Ryuiji San

no contact for 21 years... and then!

I missed the call yesterday after 7PM but I got it today...

I managed to talk to a 39 Y.O. woman who was my student mate for the final year before the most important exam, right before university.

I can remember that we made ourselves a promise : on 12/31/1999 we were to meet under the Eiffel Tower. I never went but I often got back to our school and I also walked her street, near Montparnasse.

Now, do you understand Ferris Bueller's day Off famous quote : "Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
21 years have gone by and I don't feel like so many things have changed.

I can still recall that day I was copying the physics homework from my mate Alexandre while listening to Prince's Kiss on his Sony Walkman.

Keitan leaving to NYC...

I went with him to get $...

PN goes to Japan again...

iPhone in Japanese

Just a quick video (for Gaijin) that answers to the question "how do Japanese people deal with writing on their iPhone?"

I have met with Mad Professor...

Concert in Pantin? Mad Professor? Faya Horns? Dub?

We got an invitation from Ariga san and I bought the tickets for 2 other friends.

As we entered the concert room, it was not so crowded and all passionate people were gathered in communion with the big dub sound.

"I dub therefore I am" could be the motto of Mad Professor.

The cool Mad Professor was standing behind the equipment (big white box is a Roland sampler, and the black rack is the delay effects box) creating the live sound. This is the first time I had ever met with the Mad Professor.

I initially discovered this musician with his rework of Massive Attack. You can get this CD and these!

I bought on premises (you can get it from Amazon here) this CD from the concert since we missed almost 80% of it as we arrived quite late.

And the live crew on picture...

I talked to the right musician with the saxophone and even got a photo next to him (hereunder, I am in the grey sweater). He really is full of energy and very respectful towards Mad Professor. He was very open and welcome despite my lack of knowledge in their culture and music.

Check Wikipedia... and the Music biography website and you can read one of his interviews or check his website with couple dubs available

To know more about dub...

As for me, I listened to the CD and it extended my culture ; yet the live was the real experience. And I will always be impressed with Ariga san : a model with many various connections... And a Mad Professor who speaks Japanse, thanks to her ;-) "Izakaya, Wasabi, Tokyo"

Ferris Bueller... 2008

I could not believe it and it is of course an opportunist message ; yet the original spirit of the movie remains. Not the music!

From Libération!

Archos 604, the day I got it!

VF is a very close friend (like a young brother or more). He wouldn't let go my X0's birthday without a real present...

As we wanted to celebrate with AP, C2R, and couple more people related to PN, I had to re-celebrate my birthday.

That's when VF took out from his bag the Archos 604...

Prince is... 50 Y.O.

There is no way! I can't believe it. It's impossible!!!

How come Christopher Tracy is 50?
