Jour pour jour!
If I believed in destiny or all this shit, I would say it was meant to be because of the date it is today... But as I don't I'll just say it is a weird hasard, just a beautiful coincidence... Anyway it could not have been more perfect because today is the day! This day only happens once a year so why on this special day, I don't know, I can't tell, it is just a magic day! It's our time of the season for loving as is Colin Blunstone's voice echoing on my mind ;-)

Happy new-age year!
Happy new year my little ducks!
Let me tell you a secret: If you visit this blog regularly, you'll survive the apocalypse!! I am not joking! I'm telling the truth! Remember him?
His name is Kenshiro. In french we call him 'Ken le survivant' (Ken the survivor). He's the main character of the manga 'Hokuto no Ken'.
His secret to become a survivor: he's been checking my blog everyday! I am telling no lies, I would never dare!! (and also Kenshiro's watched Rocky again and again and again, because he was a big fan of Survivor... it also explains his resemblance to Silvester Stalone, "so awesome!" hahaha) ;-)
So yeah, may you all be survivors on 2012, and if not, I'm still wishing you a happy last new year, it's been a pleasure... Please remember to die in style, don't forget to play some nice music for a happy apocalypse ;-)
Now, wanna know what's the song on my mind today?
I'm posting 2 today! (what a treat!)
First song is a dedicace to Ken >
(fantastic videoclip, it reminds me of when I've seen Jarvis Cocker at RFH for Meltdown festival in 2007, because he ended the gig with a great cover of The Eye Of The Tiger, that was cool!)
The other one is because today a new year's starting, and... well, the song speaks for itself >

Why the fuck are you looking like Alice Cooper?...
I had a weird dream! The kind of dream that you keep in mind for a while after you woke up.
I don't know if I was in the future or on another planet, or in a parallel dimension or whatever... but it was kind of "futuristic". It was kind of awesome and freaking at the same time...
At the beginning, I was on what looked like a coach. But I was sitting upstairs, as if I was on a double decker bus. It looked 'normal'. Then I started to stand up because I was getting off. I had 2 bagpacks with me (1red and 1black) and I also was carrying a black hoody jacket. As the coach was moving, I got down the stairs carefully.
There, the coach didn't look like it was upstairs, it was bigger, I mean larger. It was a huge shuttle, a long and very large carriage.
As I walked to the door, it was like walking on a spaceship... and everything was black inside (Big black sits, black carriage's floor and structure, and no windows) so it was quite dark, a bit like when you walk through a dark cinema's room.
And the sits were kind of big armchairs, kind of like that famous Herman Miller's leather armchair, if you see how it looks like. And there were also big tables near by the door. An automatic door. With the 'tch' noise, exactly like in sci-fi movies. It was open but before I could get off it closed down, so I had to wait for the next stop.
As I had to wait, I sat down at one of the table (a table for 6). I put my 2bags and jacket in front of me, on the table.
But at the next stop, I didn't have more chance to get off because the doors staid open for a fractionnal time only.
So I thought I'd better get myself ready for next opening, standing and waiting just near by the door.
Then when the door opened again, I managed to get off, hurrey! But once on the platform, I realised my 2 bags and jacket were still on the table. So I ran back on the coach and grabed my bags superquickely and I jumped off again.
I did it!! But again I realised I had left my jacket behind. I thought it didn't matter, I wouldn't have time to pick it up before the door close anyway, so I decided not to play this game again.
Then the coach moved away... I was at a 'bus-stop', wich looked like a big open-air platform. And it was raining a lot. Well, not really raining, cause soon I realised it was in fact some water spay on the stuctur of the platform. And sounds of rain were coming through a speaker.
And it was hot. I understood they had to fake the rain because it wasn't raining anymore in this 'world'.
I started runing to not get wet. I was running in the street going fuck knows where and I started to hear the voice of my friend in my mind. It was a memory, I was remembering him telling me the direction to go to his house.
So I understood I was in the future and I was going to a place that used to be familiar to me. I was in the future going back to a place familiar to me in the present.
(Well, that's the feeling I had, it's not very clear because apparently I didn't go there for years because my friend's voice telling me the way to go there really sounded like an old memory. And another anachronism is the fact I wasn't looking older in my dream, I was just myself as I am now.)
So hearing the memory of his indications, I kept on going. I was still running (I don't know why?), maybe I was in a hurry to find him. Yeah, I think I was looking for him for some reason..., and I arrived behind a guy on a white bicycle.
I was running behind this guy on a white bicycle and he was wearing a black hat. Then looking at his back and at his neck, I had the feeling this guy could be my friend older. If I was in the future, it made sens my friend would be older... So I called his name. He almost fell down. He got on the side of the street where he stopped and looked at me. This guy looked like Alice Cooper (don't ask me why, there are no connexion between Alice Cooper and my friend, except they're both musicians. And I've never had any interest for Alice Cooper. I only know his name is Alice Cooper cause I've watched Wayne's World so many time when I was teenager). So to come back to the end of my dream; the guy who looked like Alice Cooper, looked at me. He seemed kind of shocked and he said my name (and something else that I can't remember... was something like: "you're coming back with your same young voice"), so I understood I had seen right, this guy was my friend but older and looking like Alice Cooper... uh?
So I had a feeling of great happiness and relief of finally having found him and being reunited, but he didn't seem as happy to see me, as I was to see him.
I'd even say he looked kind of 'angry', but I don't know why, cause then I woke up.
Was he just a bit bitter cause I was young and he wasn't?...
Or is it more complexe?... I'll never know...
Why did I wake up before having more details... I wanna know why he didn't seem happy to see me! And also, why the fuck he was looking like Alice Cooper?...
Now what song is in my mind... to be honest, I don't have any songs in mind right now! I'm still too disturbed because of this dream... So let's simply do a "dreams" thema list:

Bowl haircut for Bowlie 2! ;-)
It's only 2days before Bowlie 2!!! (ATP festival curreted by Belle & Sebastian at Butlin's holiday camp, in Minehead, Somerset)
I'm so bloody excited and impatient and also stressed!
I never went to this kind of festival before. Cause believe me, this one is not the usual kind of festival we are used to go to! From everything I've seen or read or heard about it... I'm now expecting a special week-end!... a bit of an adventure ;-)
A festival happening in the middle of the winter but luckily, we won't be camping cause it's also happening in a holiday camp... and that's what is making it a bit magic, I think. I might export the concept to France and organise an alternative music festival at a Centre Parc holiday camp or in a Club Med, hahaha...
Imagine all these indie kids in a camp all together, playing a game of Bingo or two, or paticipating to a pushaton competition, in between 2 gigs, hahaha... well, if you can't visualise how it can look like, just have a look at the film trailer (cf end of this post), you'll have a better idea!
Anyway, it just promises to be a fun week-end! Perfect to forget all the christmas craziness!!
So yeah, I just can't wait to be there... I'm way too impatient!!!
9 months that we've bought our tickets, and now here we are, after waiting all this time, finaly... we're gonna invade this old Butlin's holiday camp for 3days of music and fun, wooh!
Don't know if everything would run as normal but I might even go to the huge "waterworld" swimmingpool if it's open, or go to play bowling, or go to the free funfair inside the camp, or just relax in our little challet, drinking wine and watching the atpTV, between 2 gigs :-)
(cf Butlins Minehead website here for more details about the camp!)
(cf All Tomorrow's Parties website here for complete line-up and see if they have a couple of last minute tickets left over if you wonna join the fun, but I think it's sold out)
And now here is a trailer for All Tomorrow's Parties - The movie
(a film made with footage of 10years of ATP + archives from Butlins in the 60's/70's)
