French Music 2014

Bonne année!!

Since I'm home alone (and no videogames either) I've had the TV a lot more than normal to provide some background noise. And because it's not the US, there are LOTS of music video channels. I don't know what it is, but every other country I've been to has at least 2 stations playing music videos all the time.

Anyways, some good new music for anyone wondering what you're missing out on:

One of my favorite artists ever, Stromae, has a new video for his song Tous Les Mêmes (All the Same) which he makes use of his androgenous body shape and plays both a man and a woman by turning around. Genius!  And he's got 3 of the top 5 songs in France right now.


This Avicii song is on all the time and completely stuck in my head


And Pharrell Williams has the current number 1 song in France (and a LOT of other countries) with this catchy song, so expect to maybe hear it in the US soon.


And I just like this song, since the original "Kids" was one of my favorite songs (though the music video is one of the scariest I've ever seen and obviously the result of far too many drugs), and this remix is great:


Side note: It's a bit of a peeve of mine when people say MTV/VH1 don't show music videos anymore. They actually still do. Just not during prime time. But thanks to Tivo you can watch the several hours of music videos they still play ever night. I love you Tivo!
