France Gall & Serge Gainsbourg - Dents De Lait Dents De Loup (1967)

That's one party I would've liked to attend!

Are You Ready Boots? Start Walking!

I've been on a Nancy Sinatra kick for the past couple of days. Over the weekend I picked up Nancy In London (which is now gracing my living room wall) and How Does That Grab You? at the Austin Record Convention. I now own all of her albums from the 1960s. Here's the classic video for her hit single These Boots Are Made For Walkin'  to start the week off right:

PS: I'm looking for a copy of the Movin' With Nancy television special on DVD. If you can offer assistance, please drop me a line.

Marianne Faithfull - Hier Ou Demain (1967)

From the film Anna (1967) starring Anna Karina, Serge Gainsbourg, and Jean-Claude Brialy.

Sylvie Vartan - Vintage Japanese Commercial (1965)

Yé-yé girl Sylvie Vartan singing in Japanese for Renown Clothing, circa 1965!

Anna Karina & Serge Gainsbourg - Ne Dis Rien (1967)

Serge Gainsbourg was such a genius. I'm a big fan.

Doesn't Anna Karina look positively smashing in this video?!

Happy Birthday Courtney Love!

I'm often asked how I developed such great taste, and I have Courtney Love to thank for that. In addition to all of the amazing music, she also introduced me to Valley Of The Dolls, Edie Sedgwick, and Sylvia Plath, to name a few. Fifteen years later, Miss Love continues to inspire me.
She is a true survivor.

In my opinion, Courtney Love is one of the most underrated musical talents of our time. It's unfortunate that she doesn't get the credit she deserves for her unique artistic achievements.
I believe that her musical legacy is every bit as important as that of her husband.

Happy birthday Courtney! I will love and support you always! Can't wait to hear the new Hole album!
