house un-american cooking
I'm at home nursing a bad cold today, so I decided to make a mix. It's mostly inspired by the movie pictured above, Agnes Varda's "L'une chante, l'autre pas" from 1977. I had seen the screen grab before and always wondered if the music was as good as the photo promised. Well I've seen it now and yes, it is. Brilliant hippie sunshine pop with singing by Agnes Varda herself. She sounds a bit like Laetitia Sadier. Anyway I'm feeling a bit better now and looking out the window I see the sun has even popped out for the first time in about a week.
