The French: Supplying Us With Much

Aside from AZN's, hipsters, nd the Blogosphere, 1 of the more popular talking points of this blog has always been The.French.

In all past discussions of these mysterious/silly/cunty-but-loveable ppl, theyve been addressed bcuz of their amazing nd often superior music.

Nd with artists/singers/DJs/electrosluts like Uffie, Justice, Yelle, nd M83 just 2 name a very select few, its understandable y Im so often discussing the going-ons of the French music scene.

But there r so many othr things about the.French that we hardly ever address.

Such as their food.
Croissants = YumCity.
Nd a Baguette.with.Ham+Cheese is so "in" these days around lunchtimes.

(Thnx 2 FoodPornDaily 4 this wondrful pic of a potentially Paris-inspired sandwich)

Nd how about French fashion?
Paris has always been way ahead of the USofA in terms of its apparel/wears.




(both pixx courtesy of the many Lookbook postings of French ppl)

Just want some1 2 travel to Paris on my behalf 2 bring me back lots of vintage/chic apparel that I can wear in an effort 2 prove to my frnds/co-workers that Im more fashion-forward than them.
Assuming that this will lead them 2 in turn further question my sexuality.
Hoping that this wont effect the 3.on.3 BasketballTournament Im currently taking place in with a bunch of Bros who work a few cubicles down from mine.

But at the end of the day, no matter what else Paris/France/the.European.Union has 2 offer, its stellar music is what makes me continue writing about it.

So I continue 2day with a Parisian newcomer called Make the Girl Dance.
Theyve been tearing up blogs evrywhere 4 the last 2 weeks or so with a highly provacative/"SexyCanI" music viddy nd a SuperCatchy KindaCunty AbsolutelyBombtastic song called "Baby Baby Baby".

Here r some of the more memorable lyrics of the lil song translated in2 our more native tongue...

I want your Mom’s Black Amex. I want your Dad's car.

I want to go out with your mates. I will wear my cutest panties.

I want a hot sex session. You can look but you can’t touch.

I want to be Justice's top friend, I want Gaspard's hand on my thigh.

I want to be the only person in photos. And I want to model for Yves Saint Laurent.

I don't want any cake. I just want Coke.

I don't want Kate, I want Ethan Hawke.

I want ice cubes in my glass. I want to smoke dope with your grandma.

Nothings available 4 purchase yet in the US, but Im sure thats coming soon.

So 4 now, try 2 get some1 u know 2 go over 2 France nd purchase some of their music 4 u. Nd maybe theyll bring u back some EuroChic/Would.b.Gay.in.the.USA clothes that ull secretly fall in love with.

But until then, enjoy the music 4 free.
Watch the pretty.much.full.frontal music viddy here:

A-Quick-Post: Believe Achieve

L.A. Nouveau presents "A-Quick-Post": a new kind of post thats quicker, shorter, nd more 2-the-point on updating u's all about life in the Nouveauniverse.

Here r some thoughts/tidbits/ideas:

- Swine Flu jokes r officially "less funny" than jokes about Clay Aiken's outed sexuality, MexiCNN reports. -

- Amrican Idul: is any1 still watching? Dont know any1 that still watches. Heard a rumor that my parents might still watch it. Im trying 2 get 2 the bottom of this fallacy. Miss u Sanjaya. -

- Im trying 2 brainstorm some creative things that I can do with all of the face masks I bought 2 weeks ago when all my frnds said I would die from the Swine if I didnt. Could make some nifty bday presents. I heard theyre still worth a lot in China, Toronto, nd other SARS-affected cities. Maybe next time I go on tour with my Indie/PunkRokk/Hipster/Hampster band, we'll perform wearing face masks. Nd then can throw them out 2 all our fans at the end of the show. Perfect. -

- Wondring how HilaryDuff is doing these days. Havent seen her in a while/am a lil nervous 4 her wellbeing. -

- FoxNews' indienews channel FxNws reports that 78% of ppl still think that Terri Schiavo is totally do-able. Brett Michaels has more on that story -

- Finally, (FINALLY!), life is particularly stressful at the moment 4 many of the college kids out there dealing with finals, moving back home 4 the summer, getting sucked down corporate loopholes in order 2 find "meaningful jobs", etc. I wish all of u's good luck at this daunting time of yr.

As my good frnds at Cansei de Ser Sexy, commonly referred to as CSS, would say:

"Believe Achieve".

Enjoy the José-fave musical number below:

So Tell Me, Have U Seen Her?: A Meme Is Born

L.A. Nouveau presents a new Meme 2 add 2 its already enormous collection of hardly viral Memes.

Let me introduce u the Newest thang now.

Presenting: Have U seen this AZN???

There r a lot of AZN's (asians, 4 those of u who are still hipster-illiterate) in this lil country of ours.

Actually, they make up only about 5% of the USofA.

But they make up a shitload of areas like California, LosAngeles, nd IvyLeague schools.

Bcuz of their overwhelming presence in many places like L.A., an overbearing issue has arisen: how 2 tell them apart.

4 whatever reason, it can often b very hard 2 distinguish 1 AZN from the next.

But maybe if we focus more attention on distinguishing specific AZN ppl, it will bcum easier 2 tell em all apart.
Nd by telling them apart, we can better understand the things they do, what motivates them, what prompts their unknown azn actions, etc.

Nd thus, I bring u:

Have U seen this AZN???

2days AZN:

So... Have U seen this AZN???

She was last seen totally screwing up ppl's school projects by not being able 2 formulate her words correctly nd thus wasting all of the time the othr presenters had 2 speak during.

Shes also been known 2 refute other ppl's ideas by using big words that dont come out correctly bcuz of her lacking English skills.

Additionally, she recently travelled 2 HongKong where she felt generally more accepted in2 society bcuz of her AZNness nd her Westernized-meets-Chechnya sense of style.

In the future, she plans 2 remain generally subdued by AmericanSociety despite her high-level B.S./B.A. in economics/InternationalRelations.

She also enjoys eating Dumplings, nd other AZNnation food/drink-things/brightly-colored-nuclearly-radiated-rice-produced items.

So Have U seen this AZN??? Share where/when/what this AZN was doing when U saw it.

(Even if this isnt necessarily the AZN u saw, Im sure u've recently seen 1 like this, so please share ur sensitive story regardless)

Leave a comment. Share a tale.
Nd remember 2 email jose@LAnouveau.com if u come across a noteworthy AZN that ur wondering if ppl have seen recently.

Looking for more AZN bitches 2 blog about,

There's Only 3 Kinds of Thank U's Out There

This usually isnt the "designated time of yr" 2 say Thank U for stuff.

Generally mainstream society tells us that we should start being cognizant of the things we should start 2 b thankful 4 right as Halloween ends nd as we are propelled in2 the consumer "HolidaySeason" til we reach an eventful climax @ ThanksgivingDinner where evry1 is obliged 2 share their most meaningful "I M Thankful 4" 's until evry1 just feels bad 4 how much they have.

These feelings of Thnx r expected 2 continue throughout the rest of the December month until u r completely surrounded by gifts/gift-giving nd thus the only thing 2 b thankful 4 is that ur getting that new Wii2.0 4 Xmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Choose.ur.own.LooselyAffiliated with Religion.December-based.holiday

It thus seems like midApril is just not even remotely a designated time 2 "b thankful". But at a time where excellent Summer Jams r beginning 2 leak via mp3 Blogs, the weather is getting warmer 4 those of us not lucky enough 2 live in LosAngeles, California, school nd other related academic endeavors r coming 2 an end, nd the MusicFestival Season has just kicked off with the best music festy in the country (Coachella), theres a surprising amount 2 b thankful 4.

Nd so I want 2 personally share a story of Thanx on this random April day that may or may not be the 23rd day of the Month.

While there r lots of things Im happy 2 b thankful 4,

There's only 3 things I want 2 specifically call upon. (similarly 2 the # of kinds of fish)

Nd here they are:

1. Crystalmeth. Thank u Meth 4 being the gateway drug of choice 4 so many hipsters/gays/Latvians around the world.

Thank u 4 supplying some hilarious moments in the lives of many of my frnds.

Thank u 4 being the 1 drug thats still funny 2 joke about, bcuz lord knows that coke jokes are so last yr.

2. AustinPryfogle. Thank u NorCarolina-based grrrl named AustinPryfogle 4 being courageous, strong, and above all, absolutely amazing at life.

Thank u 4 giving us so many wonderful stories 2 share at the dinner table.

Thank u 4 not letting fear dictate ur life, nd instead, letting ur own spirit guide u.

Nd thank u 4 getting me involved in the legal system.

Nd finally,

3. Black Moth Super Rainbow. Thank u 4 FINALLY leaking a few tracks from ur upcoming album 'Eating Us'. Since that late-January day when the Sampler track was first released, I knew this album would b amazing, but was horrified nd dismayed 2 realize that I wouldnt get to hear any of it until months in advanced. But now, the time has cum 4 a few tracks 2 be leaked over the internet.

Thank u 4 not getting all leak-prevention-crazy like some artists do.

Thank u 4 making albums that Im actually going 2 buy, nd not just on iTunes, but on Vinyl, bcuz thats how epic this album will be.

Thank u 4 being MorganArons-esque "Originals" by making completely original-sounding music that fills my head with wonders nd excitement nd intrigue. (Read more L.A. Nouveau posting about Being an Original via MorganArons here: http://lanouveau.blogspot.com/2009/01/hipsters-intense-discussion-on.html)

So if ur willing 2 hear a leaked track from the new album, enjoy 1 here.

This is the lead single, called "Born On A Day the Sun Didn't Rise".

Its a bit more intense than ur average trip-balls Black Moth song, but its undeniably 1 of their best songs yet.

Enjoy it here:

Black Moth Super Rainbow - Born On A Day the Sun Didn't Rise

Bitching with Thnx,

José ≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠≠

P.S that above was a brandnew end-of-the-post distinguisher.

Dear 2morrow, I Love U. Bcuz of Coachella.

Once upon a time, nd by that I mean on the 23 of February, a blog post on L.A. Nouveau was written discussing an amazing event that was going 2 occur in the far reaching future.

No, I didnt blog about the worldwide re-emergence of Zoroastrianism in the 2030s.

The blog post topic was Coachella.

Read the former post here: http://lanouveau.blogspot.com/2009/02/musical-ejaculation-via-coachella.html

At the time, Coachella, the wrld-renowned music festival that takes place evry year in the California desert, was months away.

But now, we've finally reached the day where I can proudly say

Coachella. Is. 2MORROW.

Holy. Shit.

What.the.Fk.

Mom.

Cant believe the time has finally come 4 me 2 experience my first Coachella evr.

Want 2 share with u an excerpt from the last blog post written about Coachella:

"...as an L.A. newbie, nothing excites me more than thinking about being a part of Coachella.
Just want 2 have the Best / Most Cliché Coachella Experience Ever.
- Want 2 pass out from dehydration.
- Want 2 get drugged while I'm camping out in the desert.
- Want 2 have my first mini-heart failure while listening 2 the Ting Tings.
- Want 2 have my identity stolen at a convenience store in lil downtown Indio.
- Want 2 musically 'fall in love' with 1 of the lessr-known artists that I muster enough courage 2 interview after their show.
- Want 2 fill up 4 memry cards worth of photographs that I took from the wknd on my Canon Rebel.
- Want 2 be offered "cheese" [aka a cocktail of Tylenol PM & Heroin] by Sir Paul McCartney.
- Want 2 run out of gas along I-10 b4 I even hit Palm Springs on the way home.
- Want 2 enjoy a 'religious experience' with hipsters that I randomly meet during the wknd."

More thoughts of mine regarding Coachella that have developed since this last blogpost:

- Sad nd shocked that my former friend Amy dropped out of the lineup. Shes usually so professional.

- Glad that the no-longer-preggy M.I.A. will b there instead. Miss her. Saw her last June in some random east coast city. Couldnt tell she was pregnant back then. Im pretty sure she was rly stoned. I wonder if she still smokes as much weed now that she has a lil AltBaby.

- Intrigued that 1 of the main sponsors 4 Coachella is Heineken Music. Didnt know that Heineken Beer Co had a music dept. Someday I wish 2 b the first artists signed by Heineken Beer Records. Pretty sure Ill have 2 b drinking a Heineken in evry music vid/promotional shoot/at evry concert on stage. Dont rly like Heineken, so maybe I wont do this. I think id rather b signed to Crystalmeth Records. Id b totally happy 2 promote that juicy goodness.

- Hoping that Steve Aoki nd the whole Dim Mak crew doesnt h8 me when Im hanging out at his pool party on Saturday. He didnt rly seem to warm up to me that much last time we met at that CobraSnake yard sale.

Share ur Coachella Eve thoughts with the whole lil L.A. Nouveau community.

Leave a comment about ur fave Coachella artist/least fave/what artist u plan on dying of dehydration during.

Bitch b at Coachella 2morrow,

José

Its Good 2 Have Frnds, or Friends of Friends

Here's something thats really "in" right now that u might find interesting: frnds.
Frnds/friends r so "in" at the moment.
After the massive decline of the importance of frnds thanks 2 the end of the similary named television series back in 2004, most ppl believed that frnds were on the way out 4 good.
But thanks 2 many factors including but not limited 2 the Economy, BarryObama, nd the hit series 2 Catch a Predator, the importance of having friends seems 2 once again b on the rise.

Cuz with all the problems/fighting/religgy.extremism.via.revolutions out there in the World, making friends seems 2 b one of the only solutions besides the inherent Iraq-Iran-Saudi-Israeli-Chechnya War of 2014.

Nd while there r so many ppl out there who totally suck, there r also a lot of others who we could all benefit from befriending.
Maybe not BestFriending, or even RlyGoodFriending, but at least friending.
Maybe just say Hello 2 them when u pass them on the way 2 work, nd then "Friend" them on facebook, follow them on Twitter, comment with them on L.A. Nouveau, nd get ready 2 enjoy having another person in ur life who u can technically call a frnd.

Nd with all this SocialNetworking nd increase of friends, more nd more ppl r doing things with their frnds.
Like music projects, such as a cool 1 called "Friends of Friends" or FoF.
Its a record label where 2 or more artists can come 2gether 2 create an EP 2 split the revenue nd walk down a path of rainbows nd synthesizers 2gether 4ever.

The most recent FoF edition brings 2gether L.A. Nouveau-fave-electronic "experimental music producer" Daedelus and an another L.A.-based electrodude named Jogger.
So here 4 u 2day is 1 of the hotter of the tracks off this joint EP.
This ones by Daedelus, its called "L.A. Nocturn".
Nd its got a rly awesome music vid produced by a Friend of L.A. Nouveau, nd features a young socialite whos also a Friend of the blog.
Check this shit out belowskies:



The Bitch just might B Back,

Summer Music 4 2kNine is On Its Way - Post One

L.A. Nouveau the blog is back... sorta.
I know Im shocking a lot of u's that Im actually blogging again.

We all know the rumors u heard about how José moved on, about how L.A. Nouveau was bcuming a production company/party planning masterpiece instead of just a blog.
Nd 2 b honest, blogging wasnt something I was sure Id b doing again.

But with the way the Economy still is, with the way that global warming is, nd with the way that Mainstream Music is right now thanx 2 the FloRiders' fellatio anthems nd the SoldierBoy's "Sexual Desperation via Mobile Phone", I feel its only right 2 help u's out musically.

Especially as Summer 2kNine is creeping closer nd closer like a bad case of SARS in Beijing/TorontoCanada.
So in my puruits of finding the freshest new music, I plan 2 occasionally Post a lil something 2 prepare u 4 the Hipster/Blipster/ElectroCircuit Anthems of SUMMER 2kNINE.

FIRST.
The big one.
Grab ur shortsleeve flannel, ur thinned-out CircleScarf that u will wear as pants, nd whip out the TanningOils cuz this 1's gonna b around 4 the Summer.
Its by Canadian DJ / Electro artist TIGA, whose new album Ciao! cums out soon. (circa April 27 2kNine)
The song is called "Shoes". This song will leave u wanting more. Nd by the 50th time uve heard it, ull h8 it. But then ull take a lil break nd find it again b4 Labor Day nd b in love again.



Tiga - "Shoes"

Nd take a look at the bizarre/hilarious/wtfff/LadyGaga?v2.0 music viddy 4 this hot track:



Whats ur take on it?
Love it? h8 it? Vom'd during it? Cant see clearly aftr it? On ur way 2 the ER? Post a lil Comment.

Ill b posting another great Spring/Summr 2kNine track tmrw.
Srsly tho. If u dont believe me, cum on back 2morrow.
It normally may not be this frequent tho, so take this day 2 thank God/Jesus/YoungerReligiousBrother/Choose.ur.own.inspiration.figure 4 the return of some L.A. Nouveau goodness.

Bitch,
José

I Love U L.A., But U've Chosen Darkness

A few months ago, something big happened in my lil Alt life.
Something bsides liquidating my future retirement fund.
This big event was Moving 2 L.A.

Hence, the name of this blog. [L.A. Nouveau translates 2 the New Los Angeles, in case u were still unaware, slowpoke bogens]
Hence, the ideas that r expressed in this posting site.
Hence, the way I currently live my lil life...

- Like raging at epic concerts in the L.A.area.
- Like taking pixx of nature/the skyline/the mts.
- Like trying 2 get a tan at thebeach.
- Like soaking up the sun.

Which is why I get quite angsty/upset/grumpy/grungy when its Cloudy.


The picture above is an exmpl of what LosAngeles isnt nd shouldnt b like.

Maybe its ok 4 Chicago 2 b completely Cloudy.
Maybe its ok 4 NorCal/SanFran 2 b completely Cloudy. Mostly bcuz its just not as nice as SoCal. Couldnt resist stirring up some drama with this lil antiNorCal commnt.
Maybe its ok 4 Manchester, UK 2 b completely Cloudy.
Maybe its ok 4 Syracuse, NY 2 b completely Cloudy.

But its rly not ok 4 L.A. 2 b completely Cloud-covered.
As Mr. G once said in his self-titled musical production, "It's just not right."

Cuz it brings us Angelenos down.
It makes w'all unable 2 do the L.A.-like things that we usually like 2 do.
Just makes us feel angsty nd pissy.
Want 2 call upon the 1979 song/album by the.Electric.Light.Orchestra. 2 relay my message 2 the Clouds that currently hang over the city of LosAngeles: "Dont Bring Me Down".


h8 2 sound like a spoiled brat.
h8 2 nag since most of u's all have 2 deal with cloudyness a lot.
But srsly.
U dont go 2 Rome nd expect 2 eat shitty food.
U dont travel 2 MexicoCity nd expect 2 not have ur lungs severely affected.
U dont move 2 Chechnya nd expect 2 not b kidnapped.
Nd u dont relocate 2 LosAngeles nd expect 2 deal with Overcast Cloud-filled days like 2day.

This whole lack-of-abundant-sunshine thing makes me think of an AltBand with a truly epic name that i only recently found.
Altho theyve been around 4 the last few yrs, theyre starting 2 get a lil more exposure in the mp3Blogosphere.
The name of the IndieQuartet MusicalGrouping is I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness.
So enjoy this lil song of theirs, wonderfully titled "Your Worst is the Best".


I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - "Your Worst is the Best"

I h8 u bitchtastic Darkness,

Musical Technology Bringing Us "Down Down"

Sometimes, technology brings us 2gether.

Its how Im able 2 ViddyChat with my besties when Im feeling restless on a Sat nite but dont want 2 leave my house.

Its how I send my grrlfrnd flowers on random occasions by connecting 2 the 1800Flowers.com iPodTouch app I bought 4 $9.99.

Its how I can hack in2 my moms bank account via my BlackBerry iStorm when I need extra funds.

Its how I share my angst feelings on ppl's fb walls while lipsync-ing my fave angst songs.

[via FaceBook]

But sometimes, technology ruins evrything.
Like talent.
Thnx 2 audio-tuning, it doesnt rly take much effort 4 "singers/rappers" 2 make mainstream-loved tracks these days.

Keep hearing that ovrprocessed 80's-cover song by the AfricanAmerican Musician FloRida lately bcuz the CDPlayer/iPodMini Connector is broken so I have 2 listen 2 the radio.
Miss the old "U Spin Me Round Like A Rcrd Baby" song. Dont rly miss u Dead.or.Alive.
But cant believe this original hit dancetrack was turned in2 such a graphic sexualrefrnce in the Florida song as he sings 2 his lover, "U spin my head right round right round when you perform fellatio."

Already thought that 2000's Rap was a lil bit of a Musical cop-out bcuz u dont rly need 2 sing, u can just speak in a hip way nd have good beats.
But now u dont even have 2 rap 2 create what mainstream music deems as "Fresh Tracks".
H8 u LilWayne nd ur gross digitalized voice thing.
Miss u when u used 2 rap nd not AudioTuneSing, Kanye.

Not only does it not take much talent 2 make a "Hit Song", it doesnt take much 2 perform 1 anymore either.
Exmpl: The following dreaded performance:


Cant beleive we've cum 2 a day where ppl can put on a concert via solely their iPhones.

Wonder if ppl will just settle 4 this in the future or if this will b the straw.that.breaks.the.hipster's.back nd ppl will take 2 the streets demanding that concerts cant b performed via iPhones.
I want 2 b certain that the next concert I go 2, there will b no iPhone-performance section of it.

Thank u Loney, Dear nd Andrew Bird 4 not doing anything even remotely like this at the amazing concert u's both performed last month here in LA.
Truly appreciate Andrew Bird's musical genius nd his integration of technology via recording himself during the concert nd then playing back his recording in order 2 play more over it.
I deem this A Good integration of technology vs. A Bad "2kNine.iPhone.Concert.Series" integration of technology.

Bitchin 2 bring iPhone Concert Reform,
José
