Tue 20 May – CocoRosie, Rio en Medio, Quinn Walker

Improvisation totale mardi soir. Ron Orp, la newsletter quotidienne Zurichoise, m'invite à aller voir Cocorosie au Kaufleuten, accompagné d'une personne.

Cocorosie… Ca me disait vaguement quelque chose. Certainement écouté sur une compilation des Inrocks ou dans le compil' mensuelle de JMFH.

1982

Is that because I'm born this year? Anyway, I love this song and this artist. Maybe I'll see her in Cologne on may, 28th at the "electronic beats festival". Who's goin' there ?
