Be shaken. Be stirred. A whimsical wham-bam of exotic enchantments, sleazy oddities, pop fancies, and swingin’ slingers broadcast from Ridgewood, NYC’s very own Shangri-Lounge. Best served chilled, garnished with signature swizzle schtick.

Well, "More Specials" isn't "bad" per se, but def a sophomore slump album. Can't go wrong with their debut, or the "Ghost Town" EP. But then in the '90s they started doing these sporadic reunion albums with various line-ups, and I don't know a lot about them.

wimpy:

Reunion album is a phrase that should make any sane person run for cover, but maybe they’re not so bad

Hey I got into cool music during a Yann tomita kick earlier this year, which has Egyptian reggae on it as well. Might have to check out what else this guy has done!

I feel like I hear a fair amount of french music on your show, Shangri-Lounge. Are you secretly a francophile too?

I enjoyed Paris, but I'd say my interest in French culture doesn't extend much beyond the pop music and 60's aesthetic.

Ahhh. I have admit I don't keep up with modern France either, but I love a lot of French Film, and 60's France seems like heaven to me. I wish I was better at the language.

I hear the experimental scene is good there, though I would need to do more research to back that up.

Know this song pretty well and surprised to look and see listed as Dury and the Blockheads. Thought it was a cover. Perhaps my mind is on vacation.

↳ Song: "What Presence?!" by "Orange Juice"
I'm trying to remember which one, but there's a Cometgain record, where one of them is holding an Orange Juice record in their cover photo, and I loved that SO MUCH, that I've stolen that idea OVER AND OVER again.

Anyone got any recommendations for good French movies? My film friends hate new wave cinema but I’ve never seen any, I wanna know if they’re right or if they’re just being haters

I'm a big fan of "Breathless." I think that movie is EXCELLENT all the way through.

"Rififi" is a fantastic crime / noir that I love, and stands up next to the American noir counterparts.

i don't know if it's New Wave, but Jaque Tati's film are utterly wonderful comedies.

I became very obsessed with "Shoot The Piano Player" for a long time, and really do think that's a great film.

Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player" and "400 Blows" are fantastic imo

Wow, an outpouring of recommendations, thanks! Breathless has been on my radar for a long time, I might as well watch it, and two for shoot the piano player makes it seem like that’s a much watch too. I love a good comedy so I’ll check out some of his stuff, and while I love noirs, my partner has gotten tired of watching them with me so it might be a bit before I can convince them to sit through another one. Thanks to everyone though!
