| | | Serge Gainsbourg Appreciation - Serge Gainsbourg Revisited CD
As many of you know, I am a massive Serge Gainsbourg fan. Thought it was fitting that one of my first threads on the new KR would be dedicated to Serge (who passed away 15 years ago last month). 
There was a thread by historygravity about this CD on the old KR; I just got this CD and recommend it to any English speaking fans who haven't been acquainted with a lot of his work. The highlights include Cat Power and Karen Elson's version of "Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus," Marianne Faithfull's ""Lola Rastaquouère," and Carla Bruni's "Ces Petits Riens."
In addition, I'd like to recommend some of Serge's original music. His best albums, in my opinion, are "Histoire de Melody Nelson" and "L'Homme à Tête de Chou." His music is pretty schizophrenic from the 1970s, with some raggae and a lot of psych-rock. YouTube has a pretty large collection of Serge music videos and clips. http://www.youtube.com/results?search=Serge+Gainsbourg&search_type=search _videos

| | Yesssssssss! 
This CD is so great. I love Carla Bruni, she has the sexiest voice known to humankind. The youtube clips are great, aren't they? Ah, youtube. Before youtube, I had only heard about the legendary Gainsbourg/Whitney incident. Now I can say that I have seen it. The things that it has done to enrich my life I can hardly begin to list.
