Play Dominique Petitgand
Sélection musicale de Dominique Petitgand, avec Marie Jeanson
Dans le cadre de la radio temporaire E.T.fm, du 3 au 13 septembre 2009
http://www.eternaltour.org/2009/?p=1495
Savoureux partage d’écoutes avec Dominique Petitgand, artiste sonore. C’est au téléphone et spontanément que Dominique s’est pris au jeu des contraintes. En quelques minutes, il avait déjà lui-même énuméré une grande partie des questions qui ponctueront ces deux heures d’entretien sur fond de chansons aux couleurs de toujours …:
- si tu étais cinéaste, quel serait la musique de ton générique de début / fin?
- la chanson la plus triste du monde?
- la musique que tu choisirais pour ton enterrement
- la chanson que tu entends de chez tes voisins (que tu ne connaissais pas jusqu’alors) et qui te permet de te dire “mes voisins sont sympas”
- une version totalement différente d’une chanson connue qui en a changé magnifiquement ta perception
- la chanson que tu aurais aimé interpréter toi-même etc…

Mondo Diablo Episode 343: Once Upon a Time…L’Homme
Yeah, sorry about the wait. Again, my excuse is sickness. Anyway, you might like this. It’s from a French series from the seventies or eighties. I like it because it makes no excuses or tries to sooth Creationists’ feelings, and gets right to evolution. I also like the Commedia troupe qualities of the characters. Pierre et Pierrette. It’s nice to know they still use those types, even though we American slobs feel we are too cool and macho for that.
