la piscine?

My dad is a swimmer. Pretty much every day, every since he was a kid. So when we went to Paris, I taught him how to ask "ou est la piscine?". Well, he found one. And then made a French/Argentinian/German friend who also swam at that pool. A strange man. Once Henry Miller's chef, he claimed he could make a chocolate cake so good you'd fly out the window. Not really sure how that worked, but we went to his apartment for lunch, and met other strange people. He also had a son, my age, who's accent would switch between American and French each sentence. Which of course fascinated me.The point of this story is, Ou Est Le Swimming Pool (not LeS Swimming Pool, as some people have tagged them - well, that just wouldn't make sense now?) are awesome. A little pop, a little electro, it's reminiscent of that whole Australian electro scene from recent months. Which means it's electro that's not boring, it's easily accessible, an 80's throwback inspired by those such as Cyndi Lauper and Kraftwerk. An interesting combination, indeed. They're not French, obviously, but British. Dance The Way I Feel is, really, an anthem for those who like to dance. And not because someone told you to, or o some sort of music that everyone else is dancing to, it's just dancing of your own accord and the way that you want to, when you want to. They're tipped to be big in 2009, and if the Hype Machine... well, hype, is anything to go by, it's a pretty accurate prediction.Ou Est Le Swimming Pool - Dance The Way I Feel
