I have an appointment for my annual physical in the morning. Therefore I am having to fast for the remainder of the night, which normally wouldn't be a problem since I tend not to eat a whole lot during these hours and even less if I'm keeping myself occupied with projects like this crap. But it's the knowing I can't eat that's getting to me. So now I'm extra hungry and more cranky than usual.
Belmondo (1995)
Jean-Paul Belmondo is a French actor who was in enough of those 60s French New Wave Cinema films that even you may have heard of him. I certainly saw as many as I could at second and third run art cinemas back in the 80's whenever I could. I loves me some Goddard and Truffaut.
Belmondo himself rose to fame with his starring turn in Breathless (1960) with Jean Seberg and her pixie cut. He is the epitome of cool with an unfiltered gauloises cigarette hanging from his lip. (and we're just going to pretend that the Richard Gere version didn't happen. It was pretty fucking terrible and Valérie Kaprisky was no Jean Seberg)
This Belmondo is a collaboration of Pam Berry and R. Scott Kelly who were each in a multitude of other projects that have appeared here and others that will eventually appear and some that I will have to seek out now that I'm aware of them. They're like a one stop shop for all kinds of your 90s indie pop needs. And since I'm currently on a bit of a 90s indie pop kick fits right in with my mood.
More or less, I really want a whiskey...
Helen Love vs. Belmondo (1995)
They also shared a flexi disc with Helen Love who according to Discogs are:
"Cult punk-pop band from Swansea. Formed in 1992 in Cardiff, United Kingdom. For the individual artist in credits please use Helen Love (3)"
Indeed.
