Setting all sorts of moods for the weekend:
swoooooooooon!
September 27, 2008 at 12:40 pmthis icon photo of Jane and Serge in silver suits has been my desktop background for weeks. nice pick.
September 27, 2008 at 12:44 pmHow cliche…
I was thinking it was only a matter of time before Serge Gainsbourg was posted.
as someone once said: sometimes, things are “cliche” for a reason. they are good, people like them a lot and they become unavoidable.
lets not trash a good (great) song, and a good (great) video just because its not obscure, ok?
ok.
i wasnt saying the song is cliche, i was saying you were.
“i’m cool because i listen to serge gainsbourg”
its not a matter of obscurity, but a matter of hipster pretentiousness.
October 1, 2008 at 12:12 pmugh2 - um, where does it say she’s cool for listening to Serge? I mean. We post a video (and a song) every day. The text around it simply said “Setting all sorts of moods for the weekend:” it didn’t even say she liked it. I mean, she does like it, and she is cool but… simply liking something that’s good is pretentious?
I like Serge because back in 1997 or 1998 I randomly found 3 of his albums in a stack at my college radio station. I listened to them on a whim and loved them. I knew nothing about him. Now if I posted this video would that have been pretentious as well?
I’m not seeing your logic.

October 1, 2008 at 12:55 pmyou were just waiting around, ugh2, until serge was posted so you could bash it?? why are you on this site anyway? this whole blog is people posting shit they think’s cool. YOU sound like a pretentious PRICK!
October 1, 2008 at 1:00 pmfor the record: random people approached me at parties this weekend and thanked me for running this video.
and - if using music to make people think I am cool was what I depended on, then I’d be in deep, deep trouble.
For the (second) record-my Dad owns this on vinyl. I listened to it before I even knew what heavy breathing was.
Oh, and, yeah, that former sentence, I did say to make myself (and my Dad) sound cool. I admit.
NOW-group hugs.
