This is one of those music posts which I feel are going to abound in this blog, first because as CSS put it, music is my boyfriend (I am so not original in my metaphors, it's pathetic), and also because talking about obscure bands makes me cooler. Or at least it used to, since I just ruined it by typing it out loud. What can you do.
Today I have to spread the love and tell you about red red meat. Not actual meat, guys. Actually, some red meat sounds really good right now--with a nice pepper sauce and greasy French fries, mmmm. But I'm losing focus here. I was going to tell you about that '90s band, incidentally named Red Red Meat. See? I do have a point.
So, the other night I was going through a profound introspective phase ("What am I going to do with myself? Why do my plans go from likely-to-succeed to irresistibly-failing? Why is the nail polish I just put on already chipped?", this kind of stuff) and I decided to play some random music to soothe my soul (come on, I had spent 45 minutes waiting for that nail polish to dry!). That's how I stumbled upon Red Red Meat .
Long story short, it's really good. You know how you feel when the person you totally want to see naked invites you over? Well, it's exactly the opposite of how you feel when you listen to this band!! Rather, it produces the same feeling as when above-mentioned person steps on your heart as if it were nothing but a piece of... red red meat. I guess that's where the name of the band comes from.
Anyway, you should check it out. And then invite someone over. You know what I mean.

Brand New Sun
Under the pressure of many of my fans (and by that I mean people I pay to like me), I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and start a... blog. There, I said it.
But before we start (I like the royal we, it makes me bloat with self-importance), I'd like to clear some things up.
- As a French person currently living in the US, I don't really know how to handle the language thing. Well, actually I do, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. While I was thinking about it earlier today instead of doing something productive like, say... work, I figured out that it would be better to write in English (this is where readers not paying attention spill their beverage on their laptop and curse me, "What, she was writing in English the whole time and she didn't even TELL me?!! I'm outta here."), since more people would understand. And I want plenty of people to understand, because more readers means more power, and that's the only thing I am pursuing here.
- Of course, this means that even if my mastering of the English language is close to perfection (that's why American people always ask me where I come from, because I speak English better than them! Or at least that's how I deal with the pain), I will probably make some mistakes. Grammar, spelling, tense, punctuation, you name it. Please be merciful. Or else.
- Speaking of punctuation, I don't know if you've already noticed, but I really really like brackets. Brackets were already my friends when I didn't even know you, so I'm not gonna let them down just because it bothers you. I'm sorry (I'm not, actually).
- Of course, I will also write in French. Why? First because I am French so it gives me the right to do so, and also because there are things I can only think about in French (no, not that thing). Anyway, I guess you won't mind not understanding my French jokes with French references that only French people can grasp. So, posts in English and French. Maybe I'll try to fit in some other cool languages I don't know, like Norwegian or Hindu, but don't get your hopes up.
Feel free to comment, in English or French or Spanish or Morse code. Tell me you love/despise/pity me.
That said, I hope you read and enjoy the production of my sickened mind. I will provide in-depth analysis of literary works and accurate commentary on the political actuality, and I will also dispense fashion advice. But mostly, I'm just writing here to bond with you guys! Hey, where are you going, don't leave!
