DF n°106, Interview with Christophe Lorentz, March 15th, 2010

This show can be divided into two parts. In the first one, we had a phone call from Christophe Lorentz, who wrote in the company of Sophie Noël the book Charles Manson : le gourou du rock. The authors focused on the impact that this figure had on popular music culture, and it is quite disturbing to see the hundreds of bands (especially in the industrial music genre) who have been influenced in some ways or another by the sordid stories and fantasies revolving around this character. We listened to a lot of the artists that do appear in the book. In the second part, we talked about the cinema of Pietro Germi, an important Italian film-maker, who is not so well-known by now but who directed some masterpieces.

DF n°104, Interview with JULIA KENT, February 15th, 2010

We met Julia Kent as she came at the Bus Palladium in Paris to present her first album. Alone with her cello, she achieves a very enveloping, emotional music thanks to loops, delay effects and a very varied approach to her instrument. Of course, she is no newcomer since she has played with so many fantastic artists for so many years. Among them, Anthony & The Johnsons, Angels of Light or Jarboe. It was a pleasure to evoke all this with her and to talk about her first release that was inspired by airports and the transitional spaces they evoke.  Then we came back in time to explore the comic strip universe of Jean Image as his classic film "Jeannot l'Intrépide" was re-issued.

DF n°102, Interview with SOL INVICTUS, January 18th, 2010

We went to see Sol Invictus play live in Marseille in November 2009 and we came back with this interview with Tony Wakeford. The new album had not come out yet, but they played a lot of songs that were to be found on The Cruellest Month, along with older songs such as "Lex Talionis". The interview was held at the venue with shitty music in the background played very loud, so it seems that we are screaming at each other. And it was the case, indeed.

DF n°100, Interview with FAITH & THE MUSE, December 21st, 2009

We met William Faith as his band played at Le Crock More in Perpignan for a very memorable show. The audience was hysterical, and it was one of those moments when you feel a real communion between the band and the audience. Their album :Ankoku Butoh: had just been released, so we talked a lot about that and the career of the band. During this same show, we made a review of the French translation of the American classic book of essays Apocalypse Culture.
