Yoooooo Remember Flobots?! youtu.be/HLUX0y4Ep…

Incredible mail day: the 15th-anniversary reissue of my favorite My Chemical Romance album "Danger Days: (The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys)" has landed at home — I was able to snag the Zoetrope edition!

The right balance between a truly special edition without being a 200€ box-set!

A black square cover features a colorful spider with a lightning bolt on its back and a parental advisory warning in the bottom left corner. A vinyl record of My Chemical Romance's album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is shown along with colorful, graphic art pieces related to the album's theme. Several vinyl records and album covers featuring a spider logo with vibrant and colorful designs are displayed on a marble surface. A vinyl record with colorful spider-themed artwork on its cover is placed on top of an open magazine featuring a retro radio.

Really interesting article!

Considering notifications/enshittification/social media/smartphone addiction, this isn’t half-bad of an idea. “The friction” being the point, part of the experience, is an interesting factor.

Made me want to unearth my OG 110GB iPod Classic — only I couldn’t quite find it this evening. Something fun to play with once I’m able to get my hands on it!

The Weeknd is playing 3 nights at Stade de France and my window is open and we can hear the gig tonight! It’s quite cool!

Same happened previous summers with Beyonce or AC/DC!

Very excited about Mail Day: #Muse #TheWOWSignal

I’ve been playing this album on repeat, streaming it, but getting my hands on a vinyl, part of the Space Mission back in March, makes it really special!

Since we’re talking music, go listen to Gorillaz’s new masterpiece, ”The Mountain”, you’ve been missing out if you hadn’t until now!

Genuinely their second best, after Demon Days and ahead of Plastic Beach. This one completes the trilogy beautifully and I can’t wait to get my hands on that collectible yellow Vinyl!

Fantastic time at the Clipse show last night, live at Olympia (Paris, FR)

Fantastic time at the Clipse show last night!

Was supposed to see Pusha-T live a few years back but gig got cancelled, so extremely happy to have seen him in my hometown.

Given that Pharrell Williams is now the Creative Director at Louis Vuitton in Paris and that they recorded the album in the offices, I was low-key hoping for a Pharrell appearance. And not only did he show up, he also came on stage for the very last song!

Been a huge fan since @hernameisbanks was putting out her first EPs.

Glad to finally see her live — and what a show too:

a great voice live, great choreography/dancing, lights show, in an intimate venue known for its historical significance in the Parisian cultural scene!

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of D’Angelo!

There’s rarely been such an influential artist who’s been as influential as he was reclusive especially with 3 albums over 20 years. (Maybe Jeff Buckley comes to mind…)

Turnstile was already an all-time Baltimore band. This year, though? The city’s veteran hardcore quintet was transcendent, reaching levels of rarified air reserved for acts that do more than simply release a great album — they shift culture.

🎵 Whenever September comes, I get into a crisp Fall mood and one of my little rituals is to listen to Springsteen & Prince endlessly. Can’t explain it, it just brings me joy!

Tyler, The Creator @ Accor Arena (Paris, France)

4/28/25

Had a fantastic time seeing Tyler, The Creator last night!

I’ve been a fan for more than a decade now — his past 4-5 albums have been frequently on rotation at home over the years, and I’m fascinated by the creative freedom and artistry he seems to shape for himself.

After a first act dedicated to Chromakopia, he walked over a bridge to reach the small center stage, set like a living room (with a sofa, a desk, a turntable, and a crate of vinyl records.) He browsed through the crate containing his previous albums and other Easter eggs and influences and would then pick his albums and put them onto the turntable to play the hits.

Such a cool yet simple concept hit it was executed beautifully!

A concert ticket for 'Tyler, The Creator' featuring Lil Yachty, scheduled for April 27, 2025, at Accor Arena in Paris. A large indoor concert or event features a stage with visual displays and an audience crowding the area, while a screen shows images above the stage.
