Got out my old cassette of Noir Desir, haven't listened to it in years. Just looking at the list of songs and the music comes back to me. "Un Jour en France"; "A Ton Etoile"; "Ernestine"; "Comme Elle Vient"; "Prayer for a Wanker"; "Les Persiennes"; "L'Homme Presse"; "Lazy"; "A la Longue"; "Septembre en Attendant".
How many times did I hear Karim belt out these songs? I'm not sure exactly what their band played the first time I met them in the castle, I can just picture Karim at the mic with his electric guitar strapped over his shoulder, wearing jeans and his greyey woolen jumper and being in awe of his voice.
The cassette has an old saturated sound to it but that doesn't matter, it reminds me of rehearsals in the hall or Karim's garage, gigs, camping and the "Festival de la Musique" where Tonio wouldn't get off the stage to let the other bands set up and rehearse in the afternoon, too intent on playing the dreaded Metalica song he loved.
Check out the video clip for "Un Jour en France" here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAGSNUPzwWc (I've roughly translated the lyrics on Gooey Blog)
