Le voyage du ballon rouge. There is this original silent one from 1956 and the new version with Julliete Binoche. It is seen as a tribute to Paris! I loved it!

* Have a nice weekend *

Jenny Lane! Watch her video Say say say. This songs will stay in your head for a while!

Laura Jansen! Already living in the USA. Listen to this beautiful song Single girls.

Kim Hoornweg! Watch her cute video You really got me now.

Wish the The Citizen Band was around the corner But this politically-charged creative cabaret, dance group is based in New York. The shows carry names ‘Je t’aime scumbag’ and ‘chewing up the scenery’ and considering the photos they must be a feast for the eye, kind of burlesque and a have a flamboyant feel to it. All this is led by Sarha Sophie Flicker, a trapeze artist and filmmaker. Read more here.

This makes me shiver! The new album N° 9 by Wende Snijders.Watch her first video ‘Roses in June’! This is more than music, it’s the whole performance I love! It is different, special and intense. Also sometimes wish to feel so free to run around naked and dance like she does in this video! My favourite on the album ‘ Sunday morning’.

Just in time I found out that Heather Nova is touring in the Netherlands! So glad I got tickets just in time for her last performance in The Hague. I was a real fan back in 1994 when she had her cd Oyster. I even sang the song ‘Island‘ when I was in a band in high school! ……

(The performance was great! Loved it from beginning to end!)

Moi, j’aime la France! I lived in Nice for one year and since then I have a weak spot for everything French. The food (ofcourse), the southern coastline, the fleamarkets with all its ‘brocante’, the total ‘joie de vivre’ and ‘laisez faire’, the girls (nice story here) and not to forget les chansons françaises!

One of my favourites is Vanessa Paradis. Her new album ‘Beste of‘ will debute the end of november. Here you can listen to the first song; il y a.

My favourite songs for now are Bliss and Dis lui toi que je t’aime. And there is this interview which I watched over and over again. Just the way she talks about her love makes me smile!

I am so curious about the new album from Norah Jones, The Fall! Is the cover not amazingly pretty!? Listen to the first song from the album; Chasing Pirates. Also fun to watch all her videos again, some I have never seen! Check out the media part at Norah Jones.

I am really looking forwart to this weekend! Especially sunday. Nothing to do, no obligations, just sleeping in, having an nice breakfast, reading a book, listening to some music. Carla Bruni makes the perfect lazy sunday music! Recently a new album was released ‘Comme si de rien n’était!’ My favourite song up until now is ‘Those dancing days are gone’ I haven’t heard the new songs yet!

* Enjoy your weekend *

Starting this week with some kisses! Via this great Swedish blog Niotillfem I found this book Romance by photographer Chris Craymer. Sweet, sexy and adorable photos. I especially love those cuddle photos. It is one of the things I love doing most!

The overall theme: Love. The place: Paris. The concept: Eighteen five-minute love stories in all its forms and interpretations created by twenty-one different directors in various quartiers of Paris. This weekend I watched Paris je t’aime! It was special, divers and a celebration of the city of love, Paris.

Next month another city will celebrate love! New york, I love you. This time all stories are connected.

Watch the trailers! Paris je t’aime and New York I love you
