Part of the Take Away Shows (Les concerts a emporter) by the very cool French music site La Blogotheque. Bands perform random acoustic gigs on the street or in small venues. Here Phoenix perform 1901 near the Eiffel Tower. Very arty, very French. I love the newly weds.

I finally got around to seeing ‘Inglourious Basterds’ last night. After Death Proof it looks like Quentin Tarantino is back up on form. Hopefully he can stay there… This painting was made as one of the poster possibilities but was never used.
