The Airportline: Observations

I'm really into France right now
These are the reasons:

I'm reading Bodil Malmsten's – Priset på vatten i Finistère (in Swedish), about her first year in France after leaving Sweden. A bit too much about gardening, but full of wisdom.

I'm also reading her blog where she writes about life in France, and Finistère.

I'm in love with Phoenix new song 1901 I wrote about here. It was the most blogged about song in the world the past week. If you haven't gone to their website and downloaded it, you really should. They know how to craft a hit, Paris based Phoenix.

I'm going to French speaking Brussels tomorrow for three days of cultural, beer and European Commission action. I will try and write something about my experiences in 'Urine City' on the blog.

I've rediscovered Une année sans lumière, the part French song from Arcade Fire's monumental debut album Funeral.

And I'm watching this video of Eddy Izzard explaining how difficult it is to say the monkey is on the branch in French, in France.

It's all about France and nose spray here in my room.
