Princess Stéphanie of Monaco had a brief recording career in the 1980s, and she put out a kitschy pop record that I (sadly) listen to quite a bit. Released in French and then abysmally translated into English, Ouragan is a breathy dancy pop song that I sing along to in my bedroom when I think no one’s home.

LU Biscuits - "I wanted to be irresistible to women" :

Well, after eating an entire box of these over the course of a day, I’d say that LU has accomplished their mission.

WHISKEY FUCKING CUPCAKES.

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup brewed coffee
1 cup of American whiskey
2 Sticks of unsalted butter cut in to one inch pieces.
2 Cups of sugar
2 Cups of all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoons salt
2 Large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Put oven rack in middle posistion and preheat oven to 325F.

Heat coffee, whiskey, butter, and cup of cocoa powder in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, whisking until butter is melted. Remove from heat, then add sugar and whisk until dissolved, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and cool 5 minutes.

While chocolate mixture cools, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. whisk together eggs and vanilla in a small bowl, Then whisk into cooled chocolate mixture until combined well. Add flour mixture and whisk until just combined(don’t worry the batter will be a bit thin and bubbly). Bake Cupcakes for 30 to 40 minutes. Then place cupcakes on a rack to cool then dust with powdered sugar.

Use an ice cream scooper to make sure that all cup cake cups are even. This made about 12 Jumbo Cupcakes.

Even though I feel like I’m getting too old for the DIY crafting scene, I like this cuff quite a bit. However, I can’t imagine wearing this to any of the places I regularly go.

One of the first songs I remember hearing (although, thankfully, my 5 year old self didn’t exactly know what it was about) here’s a clip of Bobbie Gentry singing “Fancy” on the Johnny Cash Show in 1970.

Because it’s Saturday night, and I’m working on my Serge Gainsbourg final, and it’s apparently Serge Gainsbourg week for me in general: the infamous interview with Whitney Houston. Prepare yourself for laughs - Whitney handles the sleazy come-ons of our favorite French alcoholic pervert with class.

Serge Gainsbourg’s 1971 concept album L’histoire de Melody Nelson was not only a work of pure musical genius, but a television special as well.

After releasing the album, Serge made a series of short films for each song. Further proof that Youtube is the greatest website on the Internet.

Serge Gainsbourg’s legacy is full of different distinctions - he was a singer, a songwriter, an actor, a producer, an alcoholic…

Outside of France, few know that he directed a few films as well. One of these was the musical comedy Anna, from the early 1960s. Anna had a kickass soundtrack - one of such songs is the dirty-sounding Un poison violent, c’est l’amour.

Depuis le lycée, Serge Gainsbourg a été mon chanteur préféré. Commençant par Lola Rastaquouère, j’ai acheté plusiers de ses disques, et j’ai été donné les disques internationaux par les amis qui sont partis en vacances en France et au Québec.

La chanson plus célèbre, Je t’aime… moi non plus, a été publiée en 1969. À l’origine un duet avec Brigitte Bardot, Serge et sa petite amie Jane Birkin ont libéré la chanson ensemble. Cette vidéo est une ode mignonne d’un fan, avec la vieille longeur de Jane et Serge ayant l’amusement autour de Paris.

Québécois rappers.

If the amateur Tupacs in Bushwick started busting out rhymes using sacrés, I’d be more tempted to stop and buy their bootlegs.
