The song of the week is “Où va le monde” (where is the world going) by La Femme (the woman), a French psych pub rock band.
MUSIC
BLINDING LIGHTS/THE WEEKND
What can I say about “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd? It’s such a cool song, I love its ’80s vibes, it makes you want to sing and dance. Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd) wrote and produced it together with Max Martin, who produced the singer’s smash hit song “Can’t Feel My Face”.
“Blinding Lights” is the second single from The Weeknd forth upcoming album.
YES I’M CHANGING/TAME IMPALA
The first song of the year is “Yes I’m Changing” by Tame Impala, a song released in 2015, from the band’s third studio album “Currents”. I love the words So don’t be blue/There is another future waiting there for you/I saw it different, I must admit/I caught a glimpse, I’m going after it.
This song is beautifully melancholic.
FATHER OF ALL/GREEN DAY
Green Day’s new song “Father of All”, is great. And Billie Joe Armstrong’s outfit is great, too. That jacket! 😍
Good music played by well dressed people, what more could you ask for?
I’M OUTTA TIME/OASIS
“I’m Outta Time” by Oasis is the song of the week. It’s one of my favorite songs from the English band. It was written by Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel defined it “deceptively brilliant”. It’s a track from Oasis’ seventh studio album, “Dig Out Your Soul”, the band’s last album, released in 2008. Oasis split less than a year later.
At the end of the song (at 3:07, to be precise) you can listen to a short extract from one of the last interviews released by John Lennon. In case you don’t know, Liam Gallagher is very fond of John Lennon and The Beatles.
Enjoy this beautiful song.
THE HYPE/TWENTY ONE PILOTS
The song of the week is “The Hype” by twenty one pilots. It’s the sixth song from the band’s fifth studio album, “Trench”. I’ve already chosen a song from this album for the song of the week, it’s “Chlorine”, which I still like so much.
BEAUTIFUL/THE AVENER FT. BIPOLAR SUNSHINE
“Beautiful” by The Avener (featuring Bipolar Sunshine) is the song of the week. I’ve never heard The Avener’s music until I read one of my favorite newsletter where he was mentioned. So I listened to a few songs and chose this one for the blog.
MAPS/YEAH YEAH YEAHS
The song of the week is “Maps” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, which has been in my music folder for a while. I hope you’ll like it. It’s from 2003 but it doesn’t seem 16 years old, at all.
MEXICAN DRESS/BLOOD RED SHOES
A friend of mine made me discover Blood Red Shoes and this song, “Mexican Dress”. I hope you’ll like as much as I did.

Nine films about Charles Manson and his cult. After fifty years from the murder of Sharon Tate (and Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowsk, Steven Parent, and Abigail Ann Folger), Manson and his “family” still hold a dark fascination. {on Men’s Health}
This article tries to explain why people are still so interested in Charles Manson, the only serial killers who wasn’t present at his crimes. {on Grazia}
Margot Robbie plays the role of Sharon Tate in one of the most talkabout films of the season, “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood”, and she also stars alongside Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman in “Bombshell”, a film based on the true story of the Fox News scandal.

I found this song a bit by chance and I like it. It’s so eighties!
