Rock en Seine




I must say, I'm not a big fan of massive festival these days. But boy, it was jolly. Beirut was an epic... who'd thought horns can sound so sexy... ridiculous amount of people, yes. but, they'were quite pleasant.

And, Roxy Music. It got a little too sexy and slow for a while but then they came back for an encore with the hits. With the come back tour of and 80's band, you gotta do that do please the audience. I certainly loved it.

Arcade Fire's set got cut short because of the rain... such a shame. Having said that, too many people. couldn't see a thing.

Harlem

Great little band from Texas. The latest album is awesome. Good lyrics...
They did a support for Girls and also a free gig at La Plage Glazart.

Le Grenier à pain



It won grand prix de la baguette 2010. They serve the French president for the whole year.
I'd always love a good croissant. Although it was a grand prix de la baguette, but the croissants here are fantastic!! So amazing... they have a really good range of fruit loafs too.
