Attempts to communicate with the Universe. Lettres à l’Univers et autres destinataires.

Ok, I’m on a roll, must be the week-long vacation of having nothing to do but clear my head of what might be obstructing the flow (and yes, one week was the bare minimum, but I gotta say it was effective).

And so I realized I have not shared my love for the band Yodelice. Considering Clarisse and I have been listening and singing to the advance preview of the upcoming record, every day for three or four months now (we’ve even got a few dance steps worked out to some of the songs, which we rehearse on the way to school), I think it’s a major faux-pas on my part.

Songs just came out on iTunes before the official release. They’re beautiful inside and out, as artists, and as human beings. Very simply put, I love them :)

Were this still NY, they’d totally be in the Collective, every month, and sharing our Sunday brunches…

I’ve posted two of their videos, one totally acoustic, stripped bare, with the band up in a tree, and the one an animation piece created by artistic director Bastien Duval. That way you guys get two sides of the multi-facetted Maxim Nucci (band leader) and friends.

There’s also one directed by our busy pal Guillaume Canet, which is rather eery and poetic, but the record company made it private, ie it can’t be embedded on blogs, which is just pathetic and so representative of record companies’ small minds, but of well, they’ll get it one day ;)

By the way, I’ll be in NY May 17-25. Let me know who’s around !
