A Guy’s Guide to Culture: Charlotte & Magon: Good Moody

After you spend some time with Charlotte and Magon's tunes, they move in, they show you their dark side and become songs you turn out the lights to. When you listen to this music it speaks to you, and you get close enough to recognize the harmful in the cheer.

How many art shows have you attended where they didn't show you any art? How many exhibitions without exhibitionists? How many expos where they didn't expose? None? Me either, until I went to the unveiling of a giant painting that I never saw on the roof of the Musée du Quai Branly.

Gaëlle Buswel est tout simplement LA chanteuse / guitariste rock-folk de l’année. Aussi généreuse que talentueuse, aussi sympa que jolie, aussi dynamique que soul, Gaëlle parle avec un sourire contagieux et une énergie qui t’accompagne pendant tout le reste de la journée.

A Guy’s Guide to Culture: Gerald Cleaver’s Uncle June – Leave it to Cleaver

By |2013-04-24T01:22:11+10:00Dec 12, 2012|1 Comment

At first, seemingly too freaky to buddy up to, June’s music settles into a groove deep enough that even a guy like me can get into it. In the end, Uncle June’s homemade jams show why jazz, coffee and older women are acquired tastes well worth the wait.

A Guy’s Guide to Culture: Radauer-Plank & Dumont – Why B-minor when you can C A-major?
