What are we listening too ?

Well, right now, Serge Gainsbourg - Live au Palace 79. Tracks on heavy repeat are Les Locataires and Brigade des Stups.

Of course, here in the U.S. nobody knows him. But he was truly a man that loved the language. Something unique French (which I only understand a little - thanks to my 1st and 2nd grade french lessons - don't ask - an experiment). But with the help of Google Translate I can pick the sense and meaning together - and the Reggae is superb.
