I am leaving for vacation France on Thursday and thought it would be a good time to post this edit of a 1968 Serge Gainsbourg song. This cut was written for the soundtrack of the classic film La Pacha. I have no idea what he is saying, but apparently it is a funeral speech at the burial of an asshole and there are no holds barred. Let me know if there if something fun going on in Nice this weekend!
Serge Gainsbourg - Requiem Pour Un C... (LeBaron Edit)
Hey LeBaron,

best and have a nice vacation,
-Tom N

To Tom M.: Check out Ella @ 9 Avenue A (Corner East Houston) on Wednesday nights. The Boogie Brothers know their funk. Great mix of cheezy old school funk, soul, and disco played in a decadent decor.
