Oh La La Newsletter No. 13 – 4 January 2010.

Here at Oh la la we are eagerly waiting the première of the biopic Gainsbourg – Vie Héroïque (see trailer), which cannot be shown in the Netherlands before it gets subtitles, which could mean months of waiting. Of course, this is perfectly normal and if it doesn’t get here soon enough, we will find ways of watching it, like the Internet and driving down to Antwerp for the weekend.

Anyone to this day, many of you who are more tuned in to the Anglo-Saxon world who has never really understood why we wax lyrical about Gainsbourg could finally see the light with this film. That’s why the fans can’t wait for it to come out, to be able to share with you.

So Podcast No. 37 will be a Serge Gainsbourg special, with some anedotes about the man when he visited my native Québec back in, oh, 1990.

On Saturday 27 March, DJs Guuzbourg, Laurent Chambon and I will become teenagers again and let our 1980s French vinyl ring out at De Nieuwe Anita, Amsterdam. VJ Blackbird Badger will be giving you the visuals and be nice to her because it’ll be her birthday!
