Nouvelle Vague

Nouvelle Vague is a French musical collective led by musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Their name is a play on words, meaning "new wave" in French. This refers simultaneously to their "Frenchness" and "artiness" (the '60s new wave of cult French cinema), the source of their songs (all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs), and their use of '60s bossa nova-style arrangements.

Basically, they cover a bunch of great songs [ranging from the buzzcocks, blondie, new order, to Julie London and even Dead Kennedy's Too Drunk To Fuck] in that bossa nova style. LOVE IT!!

God, I really do have a strong affliction for the french.
I loooove Edith Piaf even though i really have no clue to what she is saying.
It's the language, the sensuality that ties in even with the most simple word.
It's definitely a language I would love to be fluent in. Fuck the spanish shit [lo siento, abuelita] but seriously, seduce me with the french tongue and let's call it a day, yeah?
