An honest to good New Orleans brass band in Nantes? You betcha. And NALA7 delivers the same kind of funky punch that the best NOLA brass. Superb gig, go see them live if you can. #brass #funk #music #nantes

This animated biography of Marcel Pagnol is visually gorgeous but a little too scholarly, I felt. It's good viewing, and made me want to see Pagnol's famous movie trilogy, but it lacks a bit of emotional depth. #movie #animation #france

Thanks to @selpoivre.bsky.social for posting the first ever comment on my cultural blog. It feels great when people react to reviews of stuff they have loved, or hated, or never heard about. Feel free to do so on the blog or just here, it's highly motivating !

The sign of a great composition is that not matter how simple it may seem, it inspires others to cover it, exploring the nooks and crannies. Case in point, Hiromi's version of the Beatles' Blackbird. Simply stunning. #dailycovers #music #jazz #rock

Since 2016 I've been tracking all books, records, movies, games, etc. I enjoy, and most of it is now gathered on this blog. Still in the process of migrating some of the history from another platform, but in case you want to browse, it's (nearly) all here. #reviews #music #movies #ttrpg #comics

I have said it before and I will say it again in the coming week: @lostpages.co.uk and I are doing a talk at Dragonmeet about "making magic marvellous," and it's going to be fun. It's at 1430 on Saturday and if you're going to be there we would like it if you came!

I may be a fan of the franchise, but this was as good looking as it was disappointing on all other counts. I'm not super optimistic about what's coming... #kaamelott #arthur #humour

Some covers expand on the original in ways unexpected and wonderful. Charles Bradley's version of Black Sabbath's "Changes" is one of these. It's virtually impossible not to think this is an original. #dailycovers #soul #cover

An older Wes Anderson we had missed. Beautiful, playful and inventive as usual with Anderson, but also lacking in substance, which also seems like a near-constant with his movies. #movie #wesanderson #adventure

Et sinon j'ai commencé Nero hier, et déjà maté 5 épisodes. C'est franchement pas mal, je ne comprends pas trop les critiques acerbes que j'ai pu lire ici ou là. En même temps, je n'en attendais rien, pas difficile de ne pas être déçu ;-)
