Yesterday, Light in the Attic just reissued Serge Gainsbourg's french-pop classic Histoire De Melody Nelson with lots of extra goodies to boot. The little French interpretation skills I had have long succumbed to daily exposure to the divine languages of 'Merican and Spanglish, but I still dig this album and it definitely deserves the reissue treatment (apparently this is the first time it's been reissued in North America...). The whole Lolita-esque theme of the gets played up quite a bit, but as a person who understands about 1.5% of the album (Merde!) I'm more enthralled with the slinky, sexy, cool vibes that just ooze throughout the whole album. I don't say this very often, but I really have yet to hear anything come close to what Histoire De Melody Nelson attains. Find out for yourself, buy this shit...and buy me one of those limited edition posters while you're at it.
