Le scénariste et critique Alexandre Fontaine Rousseau a écouté «Ma délire — Songs of love, lost & found» et a eu la gentillesse de nous dire ce qu’il en pense.

Myriam Gendron - Suoni TV

One of the many musical gifts of 2021 — a new album from Myriam Gendron! Má delire - Songs of love, lost & found is a stunner from start to finish, pretty much perfect. Get it, and then follow it up with this recent performance, featuring Gendron and a few collaborators playing note-perfect renditions of the new album's songs. The atmospheric black-and-white cinematography is an ideal match for the darkly romantic vibe of the music. You'll also want to check out Myriam's fantastic Lagniappe Session over on Aquarium Drunkard, which sees her covering Eno, Chapman, Cohen, and Wheeler. Brilliant.

Ma délire - Songs of love, lost & found by Myriam Gendron

Myriam Gendron plays with the resonances between old music and new on her latest album, refracting traditional Quebecois folk tunes through the decades of music that have drawn from them. It would be a cliché to call her lovely songs timeless, but they exist somehow in all times together, as they were in pre-Industrial Canada, as they reverberated through the 1960s folk revival and as they might take shape now in an age of noise and found sounds and tape loops.

LOU REED, 71

the easiest heroes are consistent but the ones who really shape us are random maniacs whose work we stumble across at times in our lives we desperately need misdirection

and so it was i met the music of lou reed through a guy named buzz who’d bought the first velvets album but didn’t like it just the way he hadn’t liked the first mothers album a month earlier which meant i got each for a buck

there is literally no way to describe the way that record hit me i was a ten year old seventh grader and the first time i played the album i was transformed into someone else someone who knew more than my contemporaries even if i couldn’t quite shake it all out

lou and john and sterling and moe gave me much more info than i could understand but they did it in a way i loved so intuitively with music exploding in such amazing directions it made sense on a molecular level

and through the years i followed lou good scenes, bad scenes, he put us through it all but we kinda paid attention because, after all this motherfucker this lou reed

this electroshocked cocksucking bastard who put out many more lousy records than good was the father of everyone i’ve ever known and i never thought he’d die and i really miss him

more than i ever thought i would

(un peu de) c'est la guerre

An Excerpt from Mike Watt’s introduction to Byron Coley’s new book, C'est La Guerre: Early Writings 1978-1983 (L'Oie De Cravan, 2011)

…my opinion: give byron coley a piece of rope and he’ll be ready to tell you about knots. give him enough rope and he’ll string some knots up for you, all kinds - he’ll get creative. give him several pieces of smaller rope and he’ll knot them up and if you’re uppity, he can get all gordian on you if that’s what it takes. give byron coley some logs, he’ll build a pad w/ an interesting hallway and all kinds of rooms connected, each w/ their own interior. he’ll build you a tool shed for when it’s time for him to be moving on. give him an easel and he’ll mix up some pigments. open up your head and he’ll paint your insides - highlight the inconvenient truths. give him a field and he’ll grow you a word-crop, fertilized w/ taunt-thinking. he’ll hoe up the “should-know” and plant deep the seed thoughts. give him a bucket and he’ll bail out the blarney and get shit shipshape. give him a flashlight and he’ll toss you the yardstick so you can measure the beam he’ll be throwing up into the sky. give him bourbon and he’ll get political. give byron coley a loom and he’ll weave it up big time - give him just one kind of thread and trip on all the stich he can work it into. give him thirst and have him wet it w/ wishes. give him a pain and watch him build a ship. give him a river and he’ll carve up a waterfall for it to plummet from. give him a hammer and he’ll knot up some smoothness. give byron coley a shovel and he’ll dig several tunnels to china. give him the carpet and he’ll rug each of them up. give him a bowlful and he won’t spoon it, he’ll whup it up into a froth. give him a pickaxe and he’ll heap hell on a glacier. give him a needle and he’ll stitch a cloudsplitter sky. give him a ladle and he’ll scoop up a a headful. bring byron coley a puzzle and he’ll chart out a map. soak up a spill and he’ll bring down an ocean…
