Description
Émilie Simon, the daughter of a sound engineer, grew up in Montpellier, France. She studied lyric singing at a Conservatoire for seven years before studying ancient music at the Sorbonne and later electronic music at the IRCAM; she tried her hand at jazz and rock until finally turning herself towards electronic music. She concluded her advanced studies, obtaining her DEA in contemporary music.

Végétal
In 2006, Émilie Simon released her third album, Végétal, in which she uses the sounds of plants; as hinted by the name. The lyrics play with words, always relating to flora. The album also contains more elements of rock music. This comes forward in some of the more lively tracks, such as “Fleur de saison”, where she plays an electric guitar. The sound remains nonetheless that of electronic music while her voice maintains its candor, softness, and beauty.

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Green Manalishi

The Peter Green era was good for the Mac. I mention this because I saw a headline while I was out and about; haven't bothered actually reading the article in part because it disgusts me, but Fleetwood Mac is about to have a new era: the Sheryl Crow era.

Somewhere around here I have a couple of takes of "Albatross". I'll have to figure out what I ever did with them.

Meanwhile, the current playlist:

Pink Floyd, Is There Anybody Out There: The Wall Live 1980-81 ("Another Brick in the Wall, Part I")
Patti Smith, Land (1975-2002)​
