apc & marc & paul & sofia








recently encountered the new and gleaming website of one of the best french export after cheese, LA art director marc atlan. among some nice thing from the 90’s is this ads he did not so long ago for an other great french export, apc. that was shot by paul jasmin and it’s hard to top!
among others, i would say that sofia coppola might had a look at it when thinking about her late release “somewhere” by pp.

tuxedo moon: nothing short of brilliance

‘tv party’ was a punk cable show hosted by andy warhol’s associate glenn o’brien as well as chris stein (blondie’s guitarist). here we have blain (violin) and steven (keyboard) peter (bass). you can get the series on dvd or on netflix, just search for TV party and then sit and wonder what happened to our music where we’re left with so much shit that some of us actually think lady gaga is not that bad. by dd

good things. AIAIAI


for a s long as i can remember, i have always searched for a simple pair of headphones that tick the right boxes. compact, classic design, great sound and good price point. this has eluded me for many years. a few weeks ago i picked up a pair of these AIAIAI track headphones. i am a happy man now i have these in my bag. from iggy pop to wu-tang to bobby lepointe, they all sound great on these guys. inspired by the function and design of the old iconic walkman headphones and paired with the newest speaker driver technology, material and craftmanship, this 40mm speaker gives you full spectrum sonic experience. $80 a pair. get black and white. by cm

boby lapointe – framboise

was watching the criterion collection 2nd DVD with interviews on the film the other night, and although aznavor will always be the star of “shoot the piano player” …boby lepointe will always be my man. love the song, the words, the look. unfortunately, the actual version of the song framboise is not as cool as the version recorded in the film by the m. aznavor rhythm section. by dd

from Palmolive soap to Jean Luc Godard

anna karina in her palmolive advert days
the revamped anna karina under JLG’s spell

not sure what style.com is exactly talking about when they refer to anna karina not being “as well known”. that’s like saying, who is roland barthes? (if you are asking that very question then you are on the wrong blog). what style.com failed to mention after stating that godard had received an honorary oscar in november 2010, is that he declined to accept it. what i didn’t know however, and i’m happy to know from style.com is that coco chanel had a thing or two to do about her discovery. however even coco, the queen of fashion, couldn’t save anna from palmolive… that credit goes solely to god… ard!!

my favorite films with anna are: band of outsiders, une femme est une femme, masculin féminin and pierrot le fou… all worth the trouble. by dd
