It’s not your imagination - that is French you’re hearing.

My daytime job as a software hawker has me spending most of this month in Switzerland and France. What a good time, I thought, to pay tribute to my favorite French electro-pop duo, Air.

Probably one of the best concerts I ever saw was Air at Le Zénith last year in Paris. All transit was shut down in the city because of a strike, and it was a two hour taxi ride through utter gridlock to get there.

Once we got there, it was absolutely magical. The mountain of synthesizers onstage, the heavenly light show, the pulsing beats, and the fans… Everyone had defied the strike to be there, and the energy was indescribable.

They played all my favorite songs, without exception. When they launched into “Sexy Boy”, the crowd went insane.

Thanks for tuning in every month for these little ditties. I hope you enjoy this one.

A la prochaine!
