    It's strange. I never had many thoughts about France, nor much interest in visiting the place for that matter, but this music's having an effect on me. I'm convinced that life occurs in slow motion in France on only sunny days with cute friendly women everywhere, and that these soundtracks play out loud over the warm scenes and landscapes in realtime. Seems like a neat place to visit.

    Have you seen the movie Amelie?

    Are we just tossing out any bands from other areas? Because one of my all time favorites is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard from Australia. They would primarily fall under psyc rock, but every album has a different theme. They venture from jazz, to acoustic, to prog rock, to thrash and doom metal... and lots of things in between. What more impressive to me is they manage to maintain a fairly identifiable and distinct sound from album to album. Their recordings get progressively better each year, but most of their catalog would not be considered audiophile by any means.

    But if you're looking for a band with a lot of variety and a really unique sound, they have a fairly large catalog to explore. Fair warning, they do tend to be fairly polarizing, people seem to instant love them, or simply not care for them at all.

    Yes, great little film.
    There's another one I like with Audrey Tautou in it called Priceless. Also has Gad Elmaleh. Pretty funny. Subtitled.
    I disabled signatures.

    yeah I think originally I was hoping for my Ye ye music suggestions, based on my original posts, but I see we are getting music from several areas!

    I tried to LOL my own post, but the forum wouldn’t allow it. So I did the next best thing. Now you’ll have to excuse me. It’s time for me to crawl back under my rock. But no worries, I’ll be back when the time is right.
