Qu’est-ce Que Vous Dites “AC/DC” en Francais?

And the answer is Rock'n'Roll Voltage.

Okay, actually no it isn't, but that IS the name of the (mostly) heavy metal (mostly) vinyl record store a cerain Shady Dame and I visited in Paris yesterday.

It's a terrific little hole in the wall obsessives catacomb, and we had a lot of fun browsing. Alas, I can't seem to get the close-up photo I took of the Queen action figures set they had in the window to download, but trust me, it was a riot. (We would have bought the thing, but 75 euros seemed, shall we say, a tad extravagant.)

Anyway, if you're in Paris it's worth a trip to RRV; you can find out more about the joint (including its address, natch) over at its Livre du Visage page HERE.

Happy Poisson D’Avril!

That's April Fish, as the French have it -- a day for pranks and chocolate.

Anyway, having a great time here in the City of Light, as expected, but in the meantime -- from the 2016 expanded reissue of our 1995 classic Fire Lane -- here's Gerry Devine and the Hi-Beams (a/k/a The Floor Models Mark II) and their obviously relevant ode to the charms of "The Foreign Girl."

Featuring some weirdo whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels on bass. Written and sung by the titular (heh) Monsieur Devine.

It kinda blows my mind, but I don't think I've ever actually posted that before. Pretty cool song though, n'est-ce pas?

Coming tomorrow: an actual dispatch from our current journey on the Continent. Hopefully involving a Gallic record store. 😎
