During my "Baron" period, when I was unemployed, drifting.. I created a new musical persona: a french poet called Pierre Citron (Peter Lemon).
The son of Gainsbourg and Anna Karina, Pierre Citron is an unlucky fellow, who doesn't particularly love life but continues just the same, and sings/raps about his daily life, love, sausages and mindtrips in a Belgian way.
Now that I have found a job and shall soon be able to say, like all the normal people: "Sorry I've got no time, gotta run!", it is with the utmost pleasure that I give you the EP of Pierre Citron - "J'adore..", as a free download.

In 2000, I made this sound montage with interviews with inhabitants of Molenbeek (Brussels) about public space in their town. For an anthropological documentary called "L'heure Bleu", we interviewed people on the streets, dealers, glandeurs & vendeurs, kids in youth houses rappin' on how the situation is now (i.e. in 2000). On the other hand, we spoke with retired people about the old days and life in general over a cup of tea. Featuring music by La Résistance, L'Ordonnance, and the song "L'étranger au Paradis" by Gloria Lasso - given to me by this friendly old lady called Clémence, together with a stack of old 45's.
Nine years later.. it still carries a message about the different attitudes, struggles and questions about living in the big city.
En 2000, j'avais fait un montage de sons et interviews recolté lors du tournage d'un documentaire (projet mémoire science culturelles) sur l'espace public à Molenbeek (Bruxelles). Interviews avec jeunes et habitants du quartier. Première rencontre avec Bruxelles d'un Flamand vite impressionné..
La musique vient d'un tout jeune La Résistance (La Rez), L'Ordonnance, et la chanson "L'étranger au Paradis" de Gloria Lasso - que j'avais reçu en vinyl 45T de Clémence, une vieille dame de Molenbeek.
Neuf ans plus tard, je me retrouve sur un projet pour améliorer la convivialité sur les transports en commun.. à Molenbeek. Vivre ensemble, ou co-exister.. dans cette grande ville, Bruxelles, avec toutes ces différentes attitudes, questions et révoltes.

L'étranger au paradis - Gloria Lasso
Prends ma main
Car je suis étranger ici
Perdu dans le pays bleu
Etranger au paradis
Et je sais qu'en chemin
Le danger dans un paradis
C'est de rencontrer un ange
Et qu'il vous sourie
Simple mortel
Je m'émerveille
Les yeux remplis d'étoiles
Et de fraîcheur
Comme un enfant
Qui se réveille
Je te retrouve
Alors je n'ai plus peur
Ne laisse surtout pas ma main
Ô bel ange qui me conduis
Déjà je me sens bien moins
Etranger au paradis
Et si tu veux bien de moi
L'étranger dans ton paradis
Alors nous irons je crois
Plus loin que la vie.
After the bluesy hip hop trip Cherrywine, here comes another new project by Ishmael Butler from Digable Planets (best hip hop group to my taste, period.). It's all very neo-psychedelic hip hop and it's called :
SHABAZZ PALACES
Now this is all very deep neo-deconstructed flavored hip hop, very much NOT mainstream.. but it has Soul, for open minded ears. Just imagine a world where HIP HOP could have gone into any kind of creative direction, before mp3 disaster struck and it all went bling-bling and/or merely hardcore for the schmokers.. and you get this. Song titles like "32 leaves dipped in blackness making clouds forming altered carbon", abstract verses, phuturistic rhyme and reason for the New Age.
Two CD's + downloads available at shabazzpalaces.com, and your money goes straight to Ish. Beautiful.
-And what about Digable Planets?
“The three insects from outer space have been infected like every other great group in hip-hop history by irreconcilable differences between the principle members.” In other words Ladybug (Mary Ann Viera) is walking away from the legendary trio with the trite cover up known as “creative differences.” Butterfly (Ishmael Butler) and Doodlebug (Craig Irving) will continue to collaborate.

Just finished reading Sirens of Titans by Kurt Vonnegut.
"The worst thing that could possibly happen to anybody, would be not to be used for anything by anybody."
"A purpose of human life is to love whoever is around to be loved."
"Everything that ever was always will be, and everything that ever will be always was."
A good book.
As I contemplate
What’s on the horizon
I look back to see
What kind of person
I used to be
Old folks in the park
Children of the dark
Everywhere I look
The universe is silent
And why would you not
Think about the things
That the world forgot
And in 200 years
Who will be sitting
In the park with me
Watching the horizon
